Dresses for Wimbledon: Ace Your Style

27 June 2024

Our go-to rule for choosing a dress for Wimbledon is to pick either a midi or maxi to protect you from too much sun. Add some sleeves for extra protection, too: it doesn’t hurt to be practical as well as stylish! A natural fabric is the best way forward as the material is breathable and prevents any embarrassing hot-weather marks.

So with those top tips in mind, here are some of our best picks for the upcoming summer sporting favourite!

Iona dress

Luxurious and timeless, the linen-made Iona dress by Rails is brimming with relaxed elegance. With an open v-neck and feminine flutter sleeves, this striped wonder will suit more than just tennis matches. Ideal for those hot summer days, this is a must-have for your Wimbledon wardrobe.

Hattie skirt and top

Pink City Prints’ Hattie skirt and top combo is a winner. These matching pieces give the impression of a very pretty dress decorated with rows of aqua-coloured hand-printed marigolds. A sophisticated square neckline is softened by feminine tied shoulder straps and a flattering peplum hem. The skirt includes a partially smocked waistline for comfort, and is unlined so that you remain extra light and cool.

Susie dress

We love a stripe, and the screen-printed pattern of the Susie dress has us feeling all nautical. A striking blend of horizontal and vertical stripes really catches the eye, as does the statement ruffled neckline. Side seam pockets are really handy and the organic cotton ticks our eco-friendly box too. You’re bound to stand out from the crowds when wearing this!

Faleigh dress

We love the fun imbued in the bubblegum pink Faleigh dress by Essentiel Antwerp. Adding a little extra protection from the sun with its longer sleeves, this piece will nonetheless keep you lovely and cool thanks to the 100% cotton material. Tie it off with the wide fabric belt for a luscious retro look.

Frappacino maxi dress

The big bold stripes of Essentiel Antwerp’s Frappacino maxi dress make a statement like no other. You won’t want anything too tight while you’re watching the games, making this oversized fit absolutely ideal for a day out at the tennis. The mandarin collar can be worn closed or open as you prefer.

Loulou dress

The Loulou dress is one of our top picks this season, and it’s one that you’ll definitely want to be seen out and about it. A long, elegant shape is emphasised by the delicate striped pattern, while the tiered skirt adds a slight bohemian vibe. The linen-rayon mix is lovely and light while reducing the risk of creasing.
