Game, set, slay

By Bianca Licina | 17th January 2025

If you’ve got tickets to the Australian Open, you’re probably wondering what to wear. With tennis WAGs like Paige Lorenze and Morgan Riddle absolutely serving up iconic courtside looks, it’s clear that they’ve raised the fashion bar for our humble Melbourne tournament. Gone are the days of throwing on just anything sporty – this is a stage where casual elegance meets trending, cool-girl vibes.

Of course, since we’re talking Melbourne and not Wimbledon, your outfit should balance effortless chic with practicality (it’s January, after all!). Think breathable fabrics, pops of colour, and accessories that elevate without weighing you down.

Whether you’re sitting under the summer sun or enjoying a match under the evening lights, there’s no reason you can’t look as fabulous as the stars on the court.

LOOK 1 – Trendy, cool-girl casual

This look says, “I’m just here for the vibes, but I’m doing it in style.” Nothing captures sporty chic quite like Bermuda shorts. Pair them with a sleek, neutral-toned structured vest and oversized, chunky sunnies, and you’ll effortlessly radiate cool-girl energy that turns heads courtside.

LOOK 3 – Say it with a set

There’s no better way to say “I’m put together ASF” than with a perfectly styled set – especially when it’s a silk set this cute. Light, breezy, and effortlessly comfortable, a silk set is a game-changer for a day at the courts. Wear it buttoned up for a polished vibe, or throw on a white or brown singlet underneath to add that extra flair. Pair with a playful cap (this Jacquemus one is absolutely to die for) and your go-to summer sandals, and voila – you’ve just elevated your look to a whole new level. You’re welcome.

Look 4 – Tennis-core meets WAG glam

Hoping to catch the eye of a player? This look will do just that. We’re calling it WAG glam – understated yet completely glamorous. The tennis-inspired mini skirt screams “I belong here,” while the wrap-around glasses add that sporty-chic edge. And for those who believe heels should always make an appearance, a wedge is the perfect way to bring some height into a casual setting. Chef’s kiss!

To elevate the look, add some chunky jewellery, a polished belt, and finish it off with sneakers or sandals. Effortlessly chic and ready for the courts – this look has you covered.
