How to Look Cute at Wimbledon with ZARA Summer Dresses
Even though I'm a professional dancer, the only thing that motivates me more than nailing my double turns on a good day is curating cute outfits. Wimbledon is no different. Fashion on the courts is watched as much as the fashion in the stands, and I love every moment of it. Scoring Wimbledon tickets isn't easy – it's almost like winning the lottery. People joke that it’s a once-in-a-lifetime affair, and some even camp out overnight in hopes of snagging a ticket. But whether you're lucky enough to get seats or just catching the matches from a grassy spot in Canary Wharf, dressing the part is half the fun. Here’s how to look effortlessly chic at Wimbledon with some fabulous picks from ZARA, MANGO, and a few cheeky premium selections.
1. All-White Athleisurewear: Casual Meets Tennis-Inspired Fun
First up, let's talk about the all-white athleisurewear. Wimbledon is all about that pristine white, and ZARA's collection offers a delightful range that’s perfect for this iconic event. Think of white dresses that blend casual elegance with tennis-inspired flair. These pieces transition smoothly from the courts to any summer occasion. As a professional dancer, I appreciate outfits that move with you and look great from all angles. Plus, the athleisure trend is blurring the lines between sportswear and everyday casual wear, making tennis skirts and sporty dresses chic again.
2. Cute Functional Accessories
Next, add a touch of charm with cute yet functional accessories. Picture this: a ribbon in your hair, a butterfly clip, or a floral decor on your summer hat. These little touches can make a big difference. And for those brave enough to camp out for tickets, flowers in your hair can keep things whimsical even if the queue feels eternal.
3. Elegant Arm and Neck Charms
No outfit is complete without a bit of sparkle. Opt for elegant jewelry that spells classic sophistication. Rose gold hardware and rose quartz gemstones, or the timeless appeal of pearls and gold, can elevate your look. Monica Vinader’s pieces are perfect for this. After all, the real game isn’t just on the court – it’s in the stands, where we’re all cheering on with style.
4. Wimbledon-Spirited Outfits
Tennis-inspired fashion is having a moment this season, and I'm here for it.
ZARA’s tennis dresses or sporty tops paired with a chic skirt or shorts make for an outfit that says, "I’m a tennis fan, but I also look cute and casual." Whether you’re watching the women’s final or a lunchtime match on your laptop in Canary Wharf, these pieces are perfect.
5. Statement Bag and Shoes
Finally, complete your look with a statement bag and shoes. A bold handbag or a pair of striking shoes can really make your outfit pop. Choose vibrant colours or unique designs to stand out. Remember, it's all about those details that show you’ve thought of everything, even if you’d trade heels for sneakers any day, just like me.
Sustainable Capsule Wardrobe Tips for Travellers
For those turning their Wimbledon trip into a broader weekend/overnight adventure, a sustainable flexible capsule wardrobe is key. Pack essentials that can be layered and mixed. Here are three foundational pieces to include:
- A classic trenchcoat – perfect for those unexpected showers. Shop MANGO Classic Trenchcoat/ Hobbs Double-breated classic Trench/ NA-KD white classic Trench Coat
- A merino wool cardigan/ wool coat– warm, lightweight, and versatile. Shop MANGO wool blend cardigarn/ MANGO wool coat
- A lightweight linen dress/wrap dress or cotton button-down shirt – ideal for layering over dresses or under cardigans. Shop Nobody's child linen dress /& other stories' linen blend maxi dress/ & other stories' A-line Midi Dress
Add a satin skirt for a touch of elegance that’s easy to dress up or down. These pieces are not only stylish but also sustainable, ensuring your fashion footprint remains light.

Debatably appropriate for Wimbledon but I had to give these a stage here.
5 Accessory Pieces that stay classic in style from spring to summer
[01] Olivia Burton's Gold Watch
Gold watches are the ultimate timeless pieces that all at once can send messages of I'm classy, elegant and have good sense of timing.
Depending on what's on the face of the watch, it can be very cute or very edgy. I've found drawn to the botanical, whimsical yet elegant English Garden-inspired designs of Olivia Burtons.
I still wear mine from 2 and 3 years ago , the Gold hardware has held up really well and the intricate designs never go out of style.
My current obsessions are with the 30mm Abstract Florals White & Rose Gold Mesh Watch & the summer season's English Analogue Quartz Watch with Rose gold colored Stainless Steel bracelet favourite Bee Motif ones, I basically alternate between the 2 since one is slightly fancier for a bolder look.
