Game, set, match. As the
Wimbledon tennis tournament winds down, let’s take a moment to reflect on the
2014 victors… both on and off the court. Pros Novak Djocovic and Petra Kvitova
received praise after taking home this year’s men’s and women’s title. With
long, grueling matches, Wimbledon tennis did not fail to impress. And in
regards to its spectators—they were no exception. Celebs Ellie Goulding, Pippa
Middleton, and actress Pixie Lott were among many who brought their fashion “A-game”
to Centre Court. Yet, who could omit the Duchess of Cambridge herself? Kate
Middleton certainly set the style agenda for the 2014 games. The itinerary? Trousers
were nixed to make way for the knee-length dress. This trend took a modest
approach, swapping spaghetti straps for capped and long sleeve ensembles. Pippa
Middleton’s monochromatic Carolina Herrera dress, for example, was paired with
a structured blazer for ultimate tailored perfection.
In addition to length and
fit, the color white has remained a chief trend and tradition since the
tournament’s existence. Yet, for the more daring, block pastels and neon
accents appeared all over the grid. While Wimbledon has taught us a thing or
two about style and class, it has too made us consider the “must haves” while attending
a sporting event…(no matter if you actually understand the game, or not):
Sunglasses
are the world’s savior. Not only do they eliminate the dreaded squint-eyes, but
also effortlessly sharpen any look.
Stay clear
of fabrics that crease, like linen. Instead, opt for jersey/clothing with high
thread counts that are adequate for long periods of sitting.
