The travel attire, then. Ballet flats are a good start, fashionable again now, with a polite, won’t-recline-my-seat-fully-without-asking energy. Casual trousers for office wear that are not sloppy. It’s unlikely that you’ll pull out your laptop and lead a meeting on Teams; however, neither will you be drunk and get your fellow passengers to join Conga. A T-shirt that is shackled under a shirt. A socket is an excellent option during the holiday season. It’s similar to a denim jacket, but it is a little more sophisticated and simpler to fold and put into your bag if you feel hot. It can be worn as a top or base layer underneath a jumper or a separate shirt. It will make you appear more lively and fun than a cardigan.
A comfortable pair of cushioned sole ballet pumps, a chicly fitted pair of joggers, the proper weight of layers. This outfit will boost morale. A nice look can win people over, like smiling, a thank you, or please you. Proper manners can get you far in life. The appropriate attire can give you an advantage.
An iconic diamond necklace has been regarded as a tennis bracelet since 1978. Chris Evert’s broken mid-match in the US Open stopped the match to retrieve the stones. Tennis tournament spectators do not dress like fans at other sporting events; they sport The Vampire’s Wife dresses or stylish tailoring. What other sport do the ballboys and ladies be wearing the most luxurious leisure-lifestyle label, Ralph Lauren, as they attend Wimbledon?
The sport of tennis is character-driven and is played by athletes at the top of their physical fitness. The sport’s gladiatorial character can be seen – especially in the current game with increasingly unique looks. While these tutus, jackets, sweatbands, and jumpsuits keep the focus on tennis, it’s the classic style and not the avant-garde changes that fashionistas are always attracted to.
Never more so than now. In 2023, tennis-core will be the place to be for athleisure. After more than two decades of the dominant fashion for streetwear, the preppy look is getting a makeover. What that translates to in real-world terms is a neat collared polo shirt instead of the oversized football-style shirt colors that are subtle rather than flashy, subtle club-style logos rather than slogans or graphics.
This is all very highly tennis. (No one can do 21st-century preppy as well as Roger Federer.)
The sport that brought our Silence on Centre Court is designed to fit the season of tranquil luxury. The Wimbledon dressing code is a soaring example of quiet luxury, not the least, since pristine white is a status symbol on its own. Crisp pique whites are to this summer what Gwyneth-Paltrow-ski-trial knits were to winter. A bit of Succession-opening-credits cosplay.
