What to wear to Wimbledon

With the world-famous tennis tournament starting in a couple of weeks, those who were lucky enough to get their hands on tickets for the event will need to consider what they'll be wearing.

The weather could well be a washout, given its current form, but you can still dazzle the crowds dressed in gorgeous women's designer clothing.

Think Kate Middleton's appearance at The Championships last year, when the Duchess of Cambridge donned a flirty white pleated number by Alice Temperley, one of her favourite designers.

The Moraiah dress was the perfect choice for the occasion as it set off Kate's tan beautifully and showed that sports luxe is a trend anyone can wear, both on and off the court.

But while we can't all have access to the Duchess's wardrobe and style advisers, we can certainly take some fashion tips from her.

White is the ideal shade for summer and has been seen all over the S/S 2012 catwalk shows, but if you don't suit such a stark hue, choose accessories in bright colours to jazz up your outfit. A flash of turquoise from your bag or earrings looks clean and chic, while yellow wedge heels will bring out the sunshine on Centre Court.

Did you know that this year the all-white dress code has been relaxed? Wimbledon is going all patriotic for the Olympics later on in the summer, so show your true colours in red, white and blue.

Venus Williams, three-time Olympic gold medallist and a finalist at Wimbledon more times than you can shake a tennis racket at, said she is looking forward to being able to wear something different at the All England Club.

"It's the Olympics and so at that point it won't be Wimbledon, so that's what makes it different," she said.

"We'll be wearing team colours. Red, white and blue all the way - and hopefully gold."
