Every January, the Australian Open tennis takes over our TV screens, office watercooler conversations and, most notably, our fashion choices.
The Australian Open’s Grand Slam tournament—which is one of four held across the year including Wimbledon, The French and The US Open—sees the world’s best tennis stars compete down under.
It’s not just die-hard fans that descend on Melbourne Park, with the sporting event attracting both the celeb and style set to its sought-after seats. In 2022, a lucky few spectators even caught a glimpse of our boyfriend, Paul Mescal.
Akin to the Formula One or Spring Racing Carnival, the Australian Open has become an event in of itself, with an array of restaurants and VIP marquees set up on site.
What Is The Dress Code For The Australian Open?
As is with any special event, the Australian Open tennis requires a special outfit, and even comes with a particular dress code: No thongs, ripped jeans, sports shorts or singlets are permitted.
Then, there’s the matter of bag restrictions as dictated by both Rod Laver Arena and the Australian Open—these will dramatically influence your accessory of choice. For spectators, handbags must be able to fit under your seat, or only be as big as an A4 piece of paper.
What To Wear To The Australian Open Tennis
Sport-luxe is a given when deciding what to don as a spectator and bonus points are always given to those who keep within the tennis theme.
There’s also the matter of the weather and climate to factor in when deciding what to wear to the sporting event, particularly given it’s mid-summer.
Think: bright whites, workout sets, tennis skirts and dresses, white sneakers, tank tops and hats. Crisp cottons, lightweight linens and loose-fitting, flowy styles are also on point.
