Wimbledon is in full swing. Serving up— it is not something only players do on the court, but it's also a maxim that high-profile attendees swear by when it comes to their sartorial choice. Call it classy or just deference to the hallowed tradition rooted in Victorian aesthetics, you can't not dress in formal while entering the gates of SW19. The grace on the court is matched by grace off-court. For every Jannik Sinner's classic forehand, there's a David Beckham suited up in the stands.
The 2024 edition of Wimbledon pitched up the biggest battle of style on the court when Jannik Sinner faced his compatriot Matteo Berrettini. Sinner made waves last year by breaking the all-white policy of Wimbledon with his Gucci's duffle bag. He has risen up to become the biggest fashion icon of tennis. Berrettini, meanwhile, had signed a lucrative contract with Hugo Boss and is one of the hottest prospects in grass season. Before their much-anticipated showdown, Berrettini said how the world of fashion gives him a much-needed respite from work. Sinner prevailed in the clash and is going strong in the tournament. But there's very little scope for experimentation at Wimbledon, so the eyes naturally turn to high-profile celebs who add a touch of elegance to the event.
