Ace Your Style: 4 Ways to Dress Inspired By Wimbledon with Wilson’s Latest Sportswear Collection
Find four court-ready ways to style our newest apparel pieces, and learn about the people that inspired this timeless collection.
Wilson Sport Professionals: Modern Icons.
Wilson’s newest tennis-inspired sportswear collection is based on a time and era when boundaries were pushed and the impossible became possible. It’s a celebration of progress. We looked back to celebrate how far we have come— advancements in the game, in technology and in the human condition.
We pulled from iconic moments, timeless silhouettes and details that defined a period.
We incorporated textural elements and patterns that feel traditional and modern at the same time. The palette is classic and simple. We created Modern Icons… new, technically superior silhouettes that nod to the past— styles we know work, but reinvented.
Technology has been elegantly engineered into each garment. Features like ultra-light materials, moisture wicking fabrics ring true, while seamless pointelle construction and thoughtful tailoring are the kinds of unassuming details that make this collection worthy of the highest levels of play.
Wimbledon, the prestigious tennis tournament that exudes elegance and athleticism, is a grand stage for showcasing your style on and off the court. Wimbledon attendees often opt for smart casual, elevated athleisure looks— and this collection fits those aesthetics entirely.
To help you make a fashion statement while capturing the essence of this iconic event, here are four ways we would style our newest pieces:
Featuring: Winning Tennis Dress, Riviera Knitted Polo, Ashton Warm-Up Jacket and Wells Woven Short
1. Classic All-White Ensemble
Embrace the traditional Wimbledon dress code with a classic all-white ensemble that pays homage to the tournament's rich history.
For women, start with our Winning Tennis Dress in a clean white hue. This elegant piece combines style and functionality, featuring moisture-wicking fabric and a flattering silhouette. Pair the unlined dress with your favorite sports bra and ball shorts. And for those chillier days, layer with our Hudson Cropped Varsity Bomber to round out the look.
For men, consider pairing our Riviera Knitted Polo with the Ashton Warm-Up Jacket and Wells Woven Short for the complete, all-white aesthetic. These pieces have anti-odor and quick-drying properties to keep you cool and collected throughout the entirety of your day.
Our Riviera Knitted Polo was inspired largely by Arthur Ashe’s iconic style in the 1960's. He is remembered for donning sophisticated sweater knits and polos along with shorter inseam shorts.
Featuring: Winning Tennis Dress, Game Point Seamless Polo & Tiebreaker Tennis Short
These pieces bring you iconic, timeless style with performance-driven functionality.
2. Modern Performance Drivers
When in doubt, leave it to the professionals! Wilson’s first head-to-toe ambassador, Marta Kostyuk, recently secured her first career WTA title win. Kostyuk dominated the court in several pieces from this collection— pieces that she helped create!

These pieces are thoughtfully crafted ensuring optimum flexibility and durability.
Featuring: Retro Scoop Cami Bra & Tennis Court Tight
One notable design element in this collection is the strategic placement of breathable mesh panels. These panels enhance ventilation, keeping you cool and dry during intense workouts. And ergonomic stitching and seamless construction minimize friction and irritation, allowing for unrestricted movement and chafe prevention.
Check out the Retro Scoop Cami Bra, Tennis Court Tight and Fleece Varsity Short— these are just a few of Kostyuk’s must-haves.
Kostyuk broke down with emotion over her first-round match victory at Wimbledon— wearing our Winning Tennis Dress!
Kostyuk showed immense resilience and made a remarkable comeback after a difficult start to her first-round match at Wimbledon. After losing the opening set 6-0 against the eighth-seeded Maria Sakkari, the 21-year-old Ukrainian managed to regroup and delivered an impressive performance, ultimately defeating Sakkari 0-6, 7-5, 6-2.
This victory holds great significance for Kostyuk as it marks her first-ever win against a top-10 player in a major tournament! Be sure to look out for Kostyuk as she continues to rock some of these pieces on the iconic Grand Slam of Grass!
“Wilson… makes me feel authentic… like I’m the only one wearing something,” said Kostyuk.
“Wilson makes me feel special.”
3. Bold and Vibrant
If you prefer to make a statement with vibrant colors, bring a splash of energy to the court. Women can opt for a bold bottom— either the Pleated Court Short or Farrah Pleated Skort.
Featuring: Pleated Court Short, Square Neck Seamless Brami & Hudson Bomber Jacket
These two pieces were partly inspired by Althea Gibson. Throughout Gibson’s career we saw women step away from the traditional tennis dress and skirt attire that was required in the women’s game. Our new skorts and shorts are inspired by Althea's lead in tennis fashion. These pieces are both functional and comfortable– providing sophistication and coverage designed to be worn both on and off the court.
These pieces also nod to fashion and pop culture icons like Katherine and Aubrey Hepburn who further pushed this tomboy aesthetic in the game— forever changing what was considered acceptable as on-court attire for women.
Finish the look with a colorful Square Neck Seamless Brami or Center Court Pointelle Tee.
Men can go for a more bold look with the Game Point Seamless Polo in Vetiver along with the matching Tiebreaker Tennis Short. This outfit is soft and breathable and offers a nice pop of color with a trendy sage hue.
Featuring: Game Point Seamless Polo & Tiebreaker Tennis Short

Men can pair our Ellington Tricot Jacket (a traditional track jacket with a retro Wilson spin) with one of our Sport Graphic Tees that showcase iconic vintage Wilson advertisements. Finish the look with the matching Ellington Tricot Short. And accessorize with our All-Sport Leather Belt Bag, classic white tennis shoes or Classic Active Hat to complete the throwback style.
