Wimbledon week always feels like the start of proper British summer dressing. It’s smart, but not too formal. Polished, but still practical. And, as with most summer days in this country, it’s always worth planning for sunshine, showers and a fair amount of walking.
Whether you’re heading to the grounds, watching from hospitality, or just taking inspiration from the season, Wimbledon is the perfect occasion for classic country style. Think linen shirts, shirt dresses, smart chinos, espadrilles, loafers, leather belts and useful accessories you’ll wear long after the tennis is over.
Here are two easy Wimbledon outfit ideas, one for women and one for men, using pieces from A Farley Country Attire.
Women’s Wimbledon Outfit: A Navy Shirt Dress And Summer Accessories
For women, a shirt dress is a lovely choice for Wimbledon. It feels smart enough for the occasion, but it’s still comfortable and easy to wear for a full day out.
The ARIAT Sahara Dress - Women’s - Navy Rinse is a great starting point. Navy always looks classic, and it is much more practical than white if you are travelling, sitting outside or walking around the grounds. The shape feels relaxed but still put together, which is exactly what you want for a summer event.
To give the dress a little more shape, add the DUBARRY Belmore Leather Belt - Women’s - Oyster. The lighter leather softens the navy and helps tie the outfit in with the rest of the accessories.
Shoes are worth thinking about carefully for Wimbledon. It can be a long day, so comfort matters. The Penelope Chilvers High Mary Jane Metallic Leather Espadrille Shoes - Women’s - Champagne still feel dressed up, but the espadrille wedge is far more wearable than a slim heel. They add a bit of height without feeling too formal.
For accessories, the BARBOUR Evelyn Braid Trilby Hat - Women’s - Tan is both practical and stylish if the sun comes out. Pair it with the RAY-BAN Sunglasses Jackie Ohh II - Polished Havana Frame - Brown Gradient Lens for a classic summer finish.
A cross-body bag is also ideal for a day at Wimbledon. The DUBARRY Hillsbrook Women’s Cross-Body Bag - Caramel keeps your hands free, looks smart and is easy to carry around all day. And because this is still a British summer event, it is worth packing the BARBOUR Mini Umbrella - Classic Tartan, even if the forecast looks promising.
This women’s Wimbledon outfit works because it feels polished without being overdone. It is smart enough for the occasion, but every piece is practical enough for a full day outdoors.
Men’s Wimbledon Outfit: Linen, Chinos And Loafers
For men, Wimbledon attire should feel smart but relaxed. You don’t need to be overly formal, but it is still an occasion where a well-chosen outfit makes a difference.
A linen shirt is a natural choice for the tennis. The FYNCH HATTON Pure Linen Shirt - Men’s - White is light, breathable and easy to style. A white linen shirt always feels right for summer, especially when paired with smart chinos and loafers.
For trousers, the MEYER Roma Comfort Fit Chinos – 5080 Organic Cotton Stretch – Olive are a great alternative to the usual beige or navy. The olive shade gives the outfit more of a country feel, while still looking smart enough for Wimbledon.
Finish the look with the BARKER Shoes Braunton - Classic Leather Loafers - Dark Brown Suede. Suede loafers are ideal for this sort of occasion because they sit nicely between formal shoes and casual footwear. They look polished, but they do not feel too dressy.
The PAMPEANO Leather Polo Belt - Otono adds a bit of colour and character to the outfit without taking it too far. It works well with the olive chinos and dark brown loafers, giving the whole look a smarter country finish.
For sunny spells, add the RAY-BAN Round Metal Sunglasses - Gold - Crystal Green Lens. They are classic, easy to wear and finish the outfit without making it look too styled.
This men’s Wimbledon outfit is simple, smart and comfortable, which is exactly what works best for a long summer day out.
Why Country Style Works So Well For Wimbledon
Country-inspired clothing works beautifully for Wimbledon because it has that natural balance between smart and practical. It is not too trend-led, and it does not feel overly formal. Instead, it is made up of classic pieces you can wear again for race days, garden parties, country shows, summer lunches and weekends away.
The best Wimbledon outfits are the ones that look good but still feel comfortable by the end of the day. A shirt dress with espadrilles, or a linen shirt with chinos and loafers, both give you that smart summer look without feeling impractical.
So, if you are deciding what to wear to Wimbledon this week, keep it classic. Choose breathable fabrics, comfortable shoes, useful accessories and pieces that work beyond one occasion.
