\"Estimated5 min read<\/p>\n

Every year, the world\u2019s biggest tennis stars, from Carlos Alcaraz to Coco Gauff, convene in Queens for the US Open. It has become an increasingly popular cultural event and a hub for New Yorkers, celebrities, and tennis enthusiasts from around the globe. (In 2025, attendance surpassed 1.1 million visitors, breaking the previous year\u2019s record.)<\/p>\n

The intersection between fashion and tennis<\/a> has grown steadily along with the tournament. Gucci signed an ambassadorship with two four-time Grand Slam winners and world number ones, Jannik Sinner and Aryna Sabalenka. Last year, Bottega Veneta inked a deal with Lorenzo Musetti. And Miu Miu continues its ongoing collaboration with Coco Gauff<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Historically, the Open has coincided with New York Fashion Week, requiring stylish tennis devotees to choose one or the other. But due to a shift in the fashion schedule starting in 2025, it now takes place the week before, allowing it to serve as a kind of preshow event with fashion-adjacent guests wearing their best tennis-inspired attire.<\/p>\n

What does that look like? Below, we\u2019ve shopped out 10 US Open outfits. Unlike Wimbledon<\/a>, where players adhere to a strict dress code and guests tend to follow suit in head-to-toe whites<\/a>, the Open is more flexible. While there is no dress policy, the vibe isn\u2019t casual so much as preppy and polished. And there is a limit on bag size, so we\u2019ll steer you toward sizes that are permitted.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re planning to attend this year, or want to (tickets are still available here<\/a>), here are some outfit ideas to inspire you.<\/p>\n

The Polished Day-to-Night Look <\/p>\n

If you\u2019re planning to spend a full day at the US Open, you\u2019ll need to be smart about how to weather the shifting temperature. A light, airy white dress will help you stay cool when the heat peaks in the afternoon. I love this one from Sir\u2014think of it as a blank canvas, and build the rest of your outfit around it. The sun can get oppressive, so you\u2019ll need a hat, and this raffia one from Janessa Leone is a chic alternative to a baseball cap. Transition your look into the evening when temperatures dip with Veronica Beard\u2019s double-breasted Dickey jacket<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"Suni<\/a>Janessa Leone Suni Raffia Straw Bucket Hat\"Ingrif<\/a>\"Bella<\/a>Aspinal of London Bella Satchel\"Miller<\/a>\"Yaga<\/a>Jude Yaga Leather Wedge SandalsEnd-of-Summer Vibes <\/p>\n

If you want to get more mileage out of your warm-weather clothing while summer is still here, the US Open is a good excuse to keep wearing it. Pair your raffia tote bag and slip-on slides with your favorite white jeans. To elevate the look for the occasion, try a soft cashmere sleeveless knit, like this peachy top from D\u00f4en. It\u2019s a smart buy, too; you can wear it now and later during the early days of fall.<\/p>\n

\"US<\/a>Polo Ralph Lauren US Open Reversible Bucket HatThe Classic Belted Dress <\/p>\n

For a refined daytime look, cinch a leather belt around an A-line dress. This one from Jenni Kayne is made from linen to keep you cool during hot, humid days. Keep your accessories on the minimalist side otherwise\u2014just a pair of luxe suede sneakers, simple jewelry, and a sleek leather crossbody from the Row.<\/p>\n

If a dress isn\u2019t your vibe, try a pair of long shorts <\/a>instead. This white denim pair from Toteme has a tailored look, but still offers all the comfort of jorts. Style them with a striped tee and keep your accessories otherwise sharp. I love Phoebe Philo\u2019s aviator sunglasses and DeMellier\u2019s East-West bag for an edgy touch. While traversing between Louis Armstrong and the Grandstand, wear these slip-on mules from Vince for a laid-back feel that\u2019s still considered.<\/p>\n

If you plan to hop from court to court all day, a pair of easy blue jeans will keep you comfortable. Style them with tennis-inspired greens, such as this striped button-up shirt, which is airy and light rather than constricting. As for shoes, there\u2019s no better time to wear a pair of classic Stan Smiths\u2014they\u2019re named after a tennis champion, after all.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m a firm believer that you can wear white year-round. Style your favorite white tee with a pair of breathable striped poplin pants<\/a> from J.Crew. Tie Ralph Lauren\u2019s hero flag sweater around your neck during the day and slip it on in the evening when it gets chillier. Tory Burch\u2019s field sneaker is a comfortable and easy choice for a day spent watching tennis with a Honey Deuce in hand.<\/p>\n

Kendall Jenner is a frequent attendee at the US Open, and she offers plenty of outfit inspiration. One of my all-time favorite looks is her silky, slip-like yellow dress. It looked elegant for the occasion, but still comfortable. Style a navy sweater around your neck for a preppy twist and add a white ball cap. For a minimalist \u201990s vibe, wear the look with a pair of thong sandals.<\/a><\/p>\n

\"Liv<\/a>\"Marais<\/a>\"Chino<\/a>Polo Ralph Lauren Chino Cap\"Paige<\/a>Jenny Bird Paige Puff Earrings\"Viola<\/a>A.Emery Viola Leather SandalsThe Romantic Daytime Look <\/p>\n

A white button-up shirt is key to creating a classic look. You can style it in many ways, but I love it over a lace-trimmed skirt<\/a> for a romantic feel, which is also a trend we\u2019ve been seeing all over street style<\/a>. Keep accessories simple with a crossbody saddle bag, a silver watch, and boat shoes<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"Oversize<\/a>Banana Republic Oversize Shirt\"Henrietta<\/a>Aritzia Henrietta Satin Skirt\"Mini<\/a>Polo Ralph Lauren Mini ID Leather Saddle Bag\"DolceVita<\/a>\"Slim<\/a>The Taylor Swift\u2013Inspired Look <\/p>\n

In 2024, Taylor Swift<\/a> made a surprise appearance during the men\u2019s final match with her then-boyfriend Travis Kelce. I loved her sweet red gingham dress, and this Posse version helps channel that look easily. It\u2019s also practical, since sometimes temperatures during the US Open can get really hot, reaching the 90s\u2014exactly when you\u2019re going to want a one-and-done skinny-strap dress. Style the look with Gucci\u2019s white satchel and ballet flats from Margaux.<\/p>\n

\"Lindie<\/a>Posse Lindie Gingham Cotton Mini Dress\"Russell<\/a>Madewell Russell Oval Sunglasses\"Mercato<\/a>Gucci Mercato Medium Tote\"Natasha<\/a>Jennifer Fisher Natasha Cuff\"Phoebe<\/a>The Little White Dress <\/p>\n

You can\u2019t go wrong with a white dress, and I love the structured shape of this one. Note that the event prohibits bags over 12 by 12 by 16 inches, so you might want to consider a clutch like this cherry-trimmed canvas pouch from Bottega Veneta. It\u2019s sizable enough to fit your core essentials, such as sunglasses, sunscreen, and wallet, while the intrecciato detail adds a luxurious feel. And what\u2019s a tennis look without a tennis bracelet? I love Dorsey\u2019s version, which is relatively affordable, given that it\u2019s made from white sapphires instead of diamonds, but looks just as beautiful.<\/p>\n
