With warmer weather on the horizon (just about!), it’s a great time to dust off those tennis whites and head over to your local club to brush up on your ball skills.<\/p>\n

If you prefer watching to playing, and to get you in the mood for what always promises to be a smashing tournament, we’re taking a walk down memory lane with our fave styles from Wimbledon past and present.<\/p>\n

While the British tournament has a strict all-white clothing policy for players, this hasn’t stopped the pros from finding their own styles; necessity is the mother of invention after all.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Old School<\/h2>\n

Times have changed since Maud Watson became the first Ladies’ Singles’ champion in 1881, and luckily female\u00a0players no longer have to wear full-length billowing dresses.<\/p>\n

Kudos to Maud though for achieving what she did in spite of the obstacles she faced as a pioneer for women in tennis. We rather like her hat too!<\/p>\n

Rock the retro with the slick Salvatore Ferragamo SF831S frames. Grab them below!<\/p>\n

Serena Williams<\/h2>\n

https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/BOXrNy0hSbc\/?taken-by=wimbledon&hl=en<\/p>\n

As well as being one of the greatest athletes of all time, Serena is definitely one of the most stylish too, on and off the courts.<\/p>\n

Along with her sister, Venus, she’s transformed tennis style from prim and preppy to ultra fashionable.<\/p>\n

We love her creative approach to sportswear, and this high-neck top and ruffled skirt combo from 2016 is definitely one of our faves.<\/p>\n

Give monochrome a go with the Woow Super Glam 2 frames and offset those Wimbledon whites with bold blacks for a look that’s instantly chic. Grab them below!<\/p>\n

Roger Federer<\/h2>\n

Federer has seen a welcome return to form recently, winning the Australian Open aged 35 -that’s a decade and a half older than lots of the other competitors!<\/p>\n

As well as his tennis prowess, Roger is known for his sleek style. At Wimbledon, he’s often seen in specially designed gear with his initials on, and he also has a penchant for embroidery.<\/p>\n

We love his cardigan above, with its old-school tennis charm and preppy stitch details.<\/p>\n

Rafael Nadal<\/h2>\n

Rafa is undoubtedly the best clay court player of all time.<\/p>\n

When he started out, Nadal was known for his biceps, bandana and long baggy shorts.<\/p>\n

These days, he’s a little more demure style-wise, but as long as he’s still out on the courts we don’t care.<\/p>\n

Go bold with the Bolle Bolt frames, and you’ll be the centre of attention on centre court!<\/p>\n

Best of the Rest<\/h2>\n

https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/BHpGmo_B8xV\/?taken-by=wimbledon&hl=en<\/p>\n

Wimbledon certainly attracts the great and the good; from Kate Middleton in the Royal Box, to Drake and Anna Wintour.<\/p>\n

One of our fave looks was\u00a0Beyonc\u00e9’s centre-court style in 2016.<\/p>\n

There to support Serena, Queen B looked white hot in a crochet dress, which was undoubtedly a nod to the tournament’s dress code.<\/p>\n
