What To Wear To The Australian Open This Month

What to wear in the stands? Polo Ralph Lauren may be synonymous with horseback sport, but it thrives in the tennis arena too. You can’t go wrong with the brand’s breezy shirting layered over a tank top on a temperamental Melbourne day. Ralph Lauren even make the official merch so adding a pair of AO shorts, a collared polo shirt or a branded tee to your game-day look will say ‘I’m not just a fair-weather tennis fan’. As for footwear, white sneakers will ensure you’re polished yet casual enough for any eventuality. It goes without saying that good SPF, a hat and sunglasses should be your baseline for an afternoon in the sun. 

Out on the court it’s a different style game. Swap your go-to workout sets for tennis skirts and tennis dresses – a more comfortable and less fitted option in summer than our essential bike shorts.

For general training, On Running sneakers claim to give you the feeling of walking on clouds, and, if you want to nod to your love of the sport, step into the Roger Centre Court tennis shoe and pick up your tennis racquet.

If you serve sporty looks all year long, now’s the season to add a touch of tennis style to your rotation without breaking a sweat – think Coco Gauff off-duty, or for the men, a casual polo shirt brings an on-court vibe to your athleisure wardrobe.

We’ve pulled together an edit of mix and match pieces with a sporty feel, whether you choose to pick up a racquet… or not.
