Wimbledon Style: Lessons from the Best-Dressed Men

Words by Tony Wilkes

Ever since René Lacoste strode onto the court in the 1920s, tennis has laid claim to being the world’s most stylish sport. And as the Wimbledon Championships continue to prove, that style and flair extend courtside too. If you’re heading to SW19 this summer, the question arises: what should I wear? Best to look to the gents who have done it best. Ahead of the first match on 29th June, we’ve compiled three fail-safe outfits that will have you serving a sartorial ace – as proven by three of the best-dressed.

ROGER FEDERER

You can’t fail with a full suit

The record-breaking eight-time Wimbledon champion is just as impeccable in the stands as he was on the court. Aside from his sneaker collaboration with On, Roger Federer shows unbeatable fashion sense with one simple approach: keep it classic. Recreate his look with our edit of world-class suiting from the likes of TOM FORD, Brioni and Ralph Lauren Purple Label, fully complete with a shirt and tie. For a truly sharp finish, our in-house made-to-measure service is available in-store to ensure your suits have the perfect fit.

NCUTI GATWA

Blend smart and casual

‘Smart-casual’ – perhaps the most feared menswear term. It’s a wonder why, when the look simply means to style formal tailoring with casual staples. Actor Ncuti Gatwa, of Doctor Who fame, shows us how it’s done with a tone-on-tone navy blazer and polo, finished with tailored trousers and a very smart Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso. Alternatively, you could swap the polo for a T-shirt or tank top, or do away with a blazer altogether by reversing the formula – opt for a more casual jacket and elevate it with a shirt and tie instead.

TOM HOLLAND

Keep it cool and casual

Trust Tom Holland to play it cool. The actor attended Wimbledon last year in a neat pink shirt – set apart by a small embroidered pocket – and a classic pair of blue jeans. This season, the best brands offer casual staples that subtly stand out in the details. Think NN.07, Commas and Ché, plus the French brand Drôle de Monsieur – the latter now has a must-see pop-up in-store, featuring a capsule exclusive to Harrods. For the accessories, opt for a pair of sunglasses and a timeless sportswatch: simple models in stainless steel work with everything.
