Over the years, Wimbledon has seen its fair share of fashion statements from its players, despite its famously strict dress code. As the American actress Katharine Hepburn once said:
"If you obey all the rules, you miss all the fun."
From Gussie Moran's lace-trimmed knickers in 1949 to Anne White's Lycra catsuit in 1985, there have been plenty of memorable moments.
In 2016, the fashion talking point was a Nike dress nicknamed the "nightie" by tennis fans, which some players were reported to find tricky to play in.
Amid all the wardrobe talk, the players' hairstyles stayed practical and stylish. Whether you go for a neat bandeau or a plait secured with hair grips, taking hairstyle inspiration from the Wimbledon players is a lovely way to stay neat on court, and who knows, it may even improve your tennis game.
Our French Handmade range is made from lightweight, flexible cellulose acetate, making it comfortable for everyday wear and for staying active. Choose a natural tone to blend in with your hair colour, or opt for something brighter or more sparkly for special occasions.
