The old-money pieces to wear to Wimbledon if you want to look posh this summer
For the next two weeks, you'll hear that familiar summer sound – the pop of a tennis ball hitting the ground, as Wimbledon kicks off and the world tunes in to see who is crowned champion. I have some great memories of going there over the years, including a long chinwag with Mary Berry – discovering as we said goodbye that she doesn't like hugs. Awkward! Also meeting David Beckham and his guest – his mum – and watching as several women lost all sense of decorum in the stands around him. (Mum or no mum, this was David Beckham!) Wimbledon is my favourite event for observing summer fashion, too, with many making an effort to deliver tennis-inspired looks. One of the most memorable was Sienna Miller 's 2023 linen blue-and-white striped trouser suit from Polo Ralph Lauren, which had a flattering tie waist and wide-leg cut. She styled it with a navy woven bag and platform heels, keeping her jewellery simple with a pair of Missoma silver hoop earrings. Other hero outfits have included Zendaya 's white suit with a blue-striped shirt and navy tie that she wore for last year's men's final and Julia Roberts ' Gucci tennis dress in the Royal Box. Alexa Chung always shows up in something interesting and individual, too. If you're lucky enough to be attending this year, or you just want to channel Centre Court's old-money vibes for summer, here's some style inspo... For colours that work courtside, look to dazzling whites, butter yellows, blues, greys and navy. Pinstripes and tailoring are guaranteed winners: waistcoats as tops, wide trousers with shirts or a trouser suit with heels. I'll be wearing the Ansdell jacket from The Fold and some wide-leg trousers. When it comes to easy-breezy pieces, shirt dresses look cool and classic, while a full white skirt is great teamed with a fun top. Silk, linen, crepe and organic cotton are the materials to invest in. Statement sunglasses will elevate your outfit – I'll be donning my white Celine pair. Keep other accessories, like your bag and footwear, relatively simple. Gold jewellery works brilliantly with crisp white. For extra inspiration, look to the film Challengers. Zendaya plays a tennis prodigy and her style is perfection: a mix of quiet luxury and casual athleisure. Cue tennis whites and slicked-back hair, red and white separates and a powder-blue shirt dress paired with knockout espadrilles. Game, set and match! @thestylistandthewardrobe @youmagazine GET SHIRTY Check out this season's smart shirt dresses for tennis-outfit inspiration. I love this knotted butter-yellow number – its cinched silhouette and side split are super-flattering. Mango dress LOVE ALL For tennis-appropriate jewellery, this minimalist piece from Sézane is courtside perfection.

Check back for updates. Article content The brand's Butter Leggings are a fan favourite for a reason. Super soft and stretchy, they're a go-to pant pick for many a local. While the staple hues aren't marked down, there are several colours that have been discounted. Article content Article content A perfect pick for someone whose summer calendar is full of weddings, parties or events, this Goddess Satin Dress is sure to be a reliable plus-one.

And this simple — and simply stunning — cowl-necked number is primed to RSVP 'yes' to everything. Article content This one is a bit of a personal pick for me, as I already own (and love) it. A waistcoat-inspired vest is an MVP style this year, and I love the longer length of this Juris Vest.

Article content Article content The Martine Dress has been a viral sensation for the brand. While the ruched-bodice dress is super sweet, we love the versatility of the skirt iteration.

"Defined by a fitted waist, the puff sleeves and square neckline are balanced by a flared skirt and side slit." One shopper who nabbed the outfit said: "Amazing product perfect fit." Another awarded it top ratings for both comfort and quality of product. It follows one of the latest fashion trends to emerge, the Milkmaid dress. They are frequently advertised across social media, TikTok shop, and worn by celebs. This comes as shoppers have been rushing to pick up another New Look summer dress that's flattering for all body types. 4 The £27 maxi dress is perfect for the hot weather with its airy design and stylish puffed sleeves. New Look has slashed the price by 10% ready for warm weekend, taking it down from £29.99 to £26.99.

How to find the perfect DD+ dress for summer Looking for the perfect summer dress to fit your bigger bust? Deputy Fashion Editor Abby McHale has the perfect solution. Looking for the perfect summer dress to fit your bigger bust? Deputy Fashion Editor Abby McHale has the perfect solution. Finding a dress that flatters your bigger bust can be hard, often dresses can leave your bra showing, squash your bust and just be ill fitting in general. However, there are a few things you can look out for that will make dress shopping easier. A V-neck is a really flattering neckline as it gives your chest some more space, however, don't discount a square neck also, not only is this a trendy neckline, but will also give your bust the room it needs. Empire line fits are also super flattering, you just need to make sure they fall underneath the bottom of your bra, that way your bust will sit nicely before the rest of the dress skims your body. Wrap style dresses are also a great option but just make sure to look for an added popper detail, so that you don't have to use a safety pin to hold the dress in place and stop your bra from showing. Extra shirring detail on the back will also give the dress more room for stretch around your chest. And if you're looking for a backless dress then make sure there is one with a tie detail at the back that means you can still wear a bra. If all that sounds like something you're interested in then here at Fabulous we have created a collection specifically designed for DD+ boobs that ticks all of these boxes. Check it out here at
