How to wear white this season – inspired by Wimbledon

With Wimbledon well and truly underway, some of the best-dressed celebs are taking their cues from the iconic summer sporting event.

Whether in the royal box or your garden, sporting Wimbledon whites is a classic and easy style to hack this summer. Here’s how to pull off the look – without looking like you’ve forgotten your racket.

1. A canvas to make a statement

If you’re wanting to break up the white, using it as your base tone is the best way forward, creating a statement with an understated canvas.

2. Waistcoat and wide-legged whites

The waistcoat renaissance has certainly been a welcome one – and doesn’t look to be disappearing any time soon. Perfect for all occasions, a polished waistcoat-and-trousers co-ord offers a cool alternative to a dress for any events this summer.

Stars including Sofia Richie Grainge has sported the all-white waistcoat look in linen recently, whilst model Rosie Huntington-Whiteley has kept it smart with a tailored cotton trouser.

3. All white everything

If you’re feeling bold – and particularly accident-resistant – opting for an all white look from head-to-toe is an elegant and eye-catching way to style monochrome.

5. The strappy sundress

When crafting an all-white look, it’s best to go back to the basics – and there is nothing more foundational in a capsule wardrobe than a plain but perfect white sundress.
