Roll Out The Green Carpet: What To Wear To Wimbledon
Wimbledon: world-renowned tennis championships or fashion runway? We’ll let you decide. Watching the sea of public figures attending the event in recent years has us leaning towards the latter. Regardless of your stance, we’ve gone ahead and curated the perfect wishlist for Wimbledon-inspired style, so you can serve head-turning looks whether courtside or not. Ready? Let’s get into it.
Classy, Not Clashing: Block-Coloured Leather Bags
Polka dots or pinstripes? Traditional English patterns, dainty collars, and crisp tailoring are guaranteed to be spotted in every direction at the tennis - and heading up all the Wimbledon style guide Pinterest boards - this year. All the best quintessentially British touches deserve none other than classic, refined accessories to tie them together. If opting for contrasted spots or stripes, it may be best to steer in block-colour territory when selecting your bag.
Starting strong with our Wilmington in Chestnut: a shape that somehow feels both timeless and modern, featuring a top handle with buckle detailing and a full leather tassel keyring. This particular design captures the sought-after elevated countryside feel that makes it perfect for this kind of event. In a similar vein, our Edgware in Maple would complement classic navy-and-white styling effortlessly with its matching leather shoulder and crossbody straps, it can be worn however you prefer. Finished with our gold hardware, a Pom Pom Keyring and side stitch detailing, the soft curve of this silhouette adds a touch of elegance to any look.
Canvas & Leather Bags for Wimbledon Style
For our second recommendation, we turn to the Canvas & Leather Collection, which sits beautifully within the polished, country club-inspired world of spectator style. Rich in light, breathable fabrics and finished in a neutral two-tone palette, these designs bring an edge to your look without drawing attention away from your outfit. Choose the size and shape that would suit you best; we would recommend the Berwick Bag for this event. Paired beautifully with a little white dress, a blouse with a pleated skirt, or neutral trousers with a simple top, this style will no doubt elevate your look. With its leather trim and handles, the Berwick Bag is comfortable to wear all day long.
Raffia Bags For Summer Occasion Dressing
The beach bag, but make it chic. Raffia continues to dominate summer bag trends, with refined finishes that make it appropriate for even the most sophisticated events. Opt for our Original or City Bag if you prefer a crossbody for ultimate comfort, or go with a bag with a top handle to wear over your arm or shoulder. The woven texture of the Wilmington and Wilmington Mini in Raffia brings a natural feel to your look, a fitting addition to white linen tailoring or broderie anglaise pieces for an event like Wimbledon. The warm colour of raffia will balance an otherwise cool-tone outfit, if dressing in classic white and blues, particularly if layered with a matching belt, shoes and accessories. The refined take on the classic raffia bag embodies courtside sophistication, not to mention will look undeniably on theme with our Strawberry Keyring attached.
Choose Your Player
This calibre of event calls for put-together looks and accessories that nod subtly to fine detailing that can speak for itself. Our designers’ focus has always been to keep quality craftsmanship, premium materials and finishing touches centre-court, so the final creation doesn’t just look good, but feels good to wear.
Our limited edition Strawberry Keyring adds a summery touch that will make each of these bags perfectly suited to the occasion. We can see the idyllic scene now: you, your new bag and Strawberry Keyring enjoying strawberries and cream while taking in the action, and, of course, a little people-watching. Now all that's left to do is pick your winner. Consider your Wimbledon style game, set and matched.
