The biggest tennis event of the year has started, that’s right Wimbledon, the only time of the year when all the tennis courts in every park in Britain are fully booked!

If you’re heading down to centre court to sip champagne and eat strawberries & cream then you’ll need to look the part, remember this year there organisers have banned jeans and flip flops for fear of the traditional sartorial standards slipping. The dress standards for the players are also high with the Wimbledon Regulators enforcing a strict tennis whites (although the odd colourful stripe keeps coming through).

We’ve put together our top 5 rules and a dress guide to help you conform and look the part!

1) Much like the cinema make sure your mobile phone is switched off when your courtside, you don’t want to be the one the makes Nadal mess up his match winning serve!

2) Don’t forget to pack an umbrella, the forecast may be dry but don’t forget, it is Wimbledon.

3) Your there to cheer on your countries sportsman/woman & to show your love of the game but there’s no need to go over the top, silence is asked for during play.

4) We all love seeing the opposition make a double fault but don’t applaud in your moment excitement, show good sportsmanship!

5) If you’ve been down the gym bulking up for summer and want to show off then think again, keep your shirt on, you’re not on the beach your at Wimbledon.

One of the most common sights at Wimbledon other than tennis balls are panama hats, unfortunately we don’t sell them but we can show you what to wear with them!
We’d suggest a jacket or blazer, preferably a Regatta Jacket paired with a white linen shirt to keep you cool, don’t forget to slip a hanky into the top of the jacket pocket it will add a touch of class & texture to the outfit.

If you want to look sartorial & stylish then we’d suggest that you go for a slim fitting blazer paired with chinos, a button down shirt and a skinny bow tie!

If you’re thinking that the second look is a little too contemporary then go for the summer essential linen suit! This is always a winner at Wimbledon it’ll keep you cool and you’ll have no problems looking suave and smart!

We’d suggest a going for a beige or navy linen suit combined with a polo shirt and shoes; once again you can add a hanky to the jacket to finish the look.
