What to wear to Wimbledon 2019 - is there a dress code and should visitors wear white to the All Eng

WIMBLEDON 2019 is now coming to a close this weekend - so if you are going to SW19 to watch the matches it is best to adhere to any clothing regulations.

Here's all you need to know when it comes to dressing for the world's most prestigious tennis competition.

What should you wear to Wimbledon 2019 and do you have to wear white?

The championship celebrates its 142nd anniversary this year.

Both players and spectators are expected to dress to impress when attending the tournament.

But, while players are required to adhere to a strict all-white dress code, ticket holders are not.

Spectators at Centre and Number One Courts, however, are expected to be smartly turned out - but there are no specific guidelines.

Does Wimbledon have a dress code?

Spectators are expected to dress smart casual for the annual Grand Slam event.

Clothes with large branding and political slogans are forbidden.

If you're honoured with an invite to the royal box you must stick to a strict dress code.

This includes a demure dress for ladies and a jacket, tie and proper shoes for men.

Wimbledon Player Dress Code

  • White must be worn. Off-white or cream is not acceptable
  • Colour trims are permitted - no wider than 1cm
  • Patterns are allowed but any solid mass of colour must be no wider than 1cm
  • Spectators are encouraged to dress smartly
  • Shoes must be white - no large brand logos
  • Undergarments must be white

Wimbledon Spectator Dress Code (Guidelines)

Torn jeans, running vests, dirty trainers and sports shorts are outright banned for Debenture ticket holders.

Tailored shorts are permissible.

Some hospitality areas prohibit jeans and trainers and the dress code is also stricter within the Members Enclosure - where men must wear a lounge suit or tailored jacket, shirt, and tie.

Women should avoid anything too tight or short - simple, classic looks are encouraged.

In general, ticket holders should aim for a smart casual look – but you are likely to see plenty of white outfits inspired by the players.
