I wouldn’t call myself a tennis expert, but I’ll never forget watching Serena Williams play her last match at the U.S. Open. The energy, the history, the way the whole stadium seemed to hold its breath — it was unforgettable. Since then, I’ve always had a soft spot for the Open. It’s not just a sporting event, it’s a cultural one — where fashion, celebrity, and sport all collide.

If I had gone this year, I’d want my outfit to reflect that balance: sporty enough to nod to the game, but stylish enough to feel at home in the stands. My style is usually simple, but the U.S. Open feels like the perfect place to play a little — to mix crisp whites, tailored pieces, and statement accessories that make the look feel fresh.

Look 1: Playful & Sporty

For the moments when you want to nod to tennis more literally, a tennis-inspired skirt or dress in bright colors or stripes feels perfect. Pair it with fun sneakers and a visor, and you’re instantly giving nods to the court while keeping it your own.

ALINA PLEATED KNIT FIT AND FLARE MINI DRESS IN NAVY

Look 2: Prim & Polished

This pleated mini dress from Meshki is the perfect mix of elegance and contemporary design. I love the drop-waist detail, which flatters most shapes, and the pleated skirt at the bottom — a subtle nod to the classic tennis skirt. It’s ideal for anyone who wants to stay comfortable while still looking effortlessly put-together for a day at the tennis courts — and it easily transitions into a fun, stylish look for an evening out.
