Why tenniscore is my go-to for all-weather-wear for Wimbledon & other summer occasions, says fashion pro
WITH Wimbledon just around the corner, tenniscore has made a triumphant comeback on and off the court. And as the pros prepare for the prestigious tournament next week, spectators are turning their attention to what to wear. Advertisement 4 For looks that serve this summer, try tenniscore This year, hot weather is on the cards, with temperatures expected to hit 33 degrees on the opening day. So choosing what to wear is more important than ever - and comfort is key. But from The Fabulous fashion team has pulled together a range of different styles that'll keep you cool and stylish, so whatever the occasion this summer, you will look ace! Advertisement read more fashion stories Emily Regan, 25, Fashion Assistant 4 Emily is hitting the trend out of the park Credit: Bag, £130, Parfois - Skirt, £119, Boden - Polo shirt, £12.99, H&M - Jacket, £37.99, H&M - Bag charm, £12, Caroline Gardner - Shoes, £38, River Island - When it comes to big events, I love dressing for a theme. This tennis-racket printed skirt is a great option from Boden - it gives a nod to the I've leaned into the Wimbledon whites trend and paired it with this light knit polo top and white denim jacket from H&M, both of which I'll be able to wear again throughout the year. Advertisement Most read in Fabulous This jute bag is extra large so it will fit in all my essentials for the day, and will double up as a great beach bag, too. I've finished off the look with a pair of white heels and a cute tennis bag charm, but I'll definitely be taking sandals with me for the commute. Abby McHale, 30, Deputy Fashion Editor 4 Wear a flattering frock like Abby in grass green Credit: Bag, £155, Rixo - Dress, £35.99, New Look - Necklace, £24, River Island - Sunglasses, £12.99, H&M - Shoes, £10, George at Asda - While I'd love to dress in an all-white Wimbledon-inspired outfit, I'm a liability as my whites don't stay white for very long. Advertisement Instead, I've opted for this green striped dress, a nod to the Wimbledon lawn colours - and with the puff sleeve and square neckline, it's the perfect throw-on I couldn't believe how cute this woven bag from Rixo was when I first saw it and it complements the dress perfectly. A pair of sensible ballet flats, sunglasses and some jewellery, and I'm all (game) set (and match). Tracey Lea Sayer, 53, Fashion Director 4 Battle the unreliable weather with light layering like Tracey Credit: Advertisement Hat, £47, H&M - Bag, £199, Zara - Trousers, £79.99, Mango - Top, £75, COS - Sunglasses, £65, Le Specs at Selfridges - Shoes, £87, Arket - Comfort is always my go-to these days, especially if I will be outside all day. Let's face it, the weather might be chilly and overcast one minute and boiling hot the next. A lightweight knit is always my go-to for all-weather wear, so this short-sleeved polo knit from COS is just perfect, plus I have opted for white wide-leg trousers because white expels the heat and if it turns into a scorcher, I won't get sunburned. A raffia hat, statement Advertisement What's the best style that suits everyone? ACCORDING to the fashion pros at Fabulous, there's a new style of dress that suits all body shapes. Low-slung, dropped-waist silhouette styles have surged, thanks to the Noughties fashion trend that has swept the catwalks, social media and, of course, the high street. First seen on the runways of luxury labels Molly Goddard and Jil Sander, the style typically cinches around the hip and pelvic area rather than the waist. Now a plethora of more affordable options of the dress that suits a number of body shapes have dropped just as the sun starts to come out. Clemmie Fieldsend, Fashion Editor, said: "There's something so stylish about these dresses, and I love them. "The simplicity of the top half teamed with the full skirt is like a sleeker and more grown-up tutu. "I have a short torso so the dropped waist makes my body look longer, but, thankfully, the long skirt means your legs don't look shorter. "Plus it means I can tap into the low-waist trend without baring all in a pair of low-slung jeans. "I know I'll be living in mine all summer, paired with black sandals and sunnies, but for now all I need is a blazer slipped over the top and a closed-toe shoe and I'm ready to go." Meanwhile, Fashion Director, Tracey Lea Sayer, added: "I remember dropped-waist dresses from the 80s. I loved them then and I still love them again now! "Forty years on from when they were first popular and I am not so sure they will be quite as flattering around my middle, because two kids and middle-aged spread later, my waist doesn't exist any more. "With a dress like this I can disguise my middle bit and still feel on trend for summer."

Known as Penneys branched into the UK in 1973 with its first store opening in Derby. The UK now has 191 Primark stores in total. However, the Penneys name could not travel to Britain as the American retailer JC Penney had the right to use the name in the region. And in 2006, the expansion into Europe began with an opening in Spain, followed by the Netherlands, Portugal, Germany, Belgium, Austria, France and Italy. Primark went Stateside for the first time in September 2015, with the opening of a store in Boston. There are now 27 stores in America with branches in Florida, Brooklyn, Pennsylvania and New Jersey. The retailer's opened its largest store in Birmingham in 2019. It spans five floors and features Primark's biggest beauty studio to date, a barbers and three restaurants.
