The Olympics may be over, but there’s another major sporting event coming up to get excited about: the U.S. Open. I’m attending for the first time this year, and it’s not just the athletes and Honey Deuce drink that I’m looking forward to. The fashion at the annual tennis championships is almost as exciting to watch as the players. I’m already planning out my U.S. Open outfit, so I’ve been shopping around for inspiration, taking cues from classic tennis whites and preppy mainstays like polos and rugby styles. These are some pieces that I have my eye on from J.Crew, Lululemon, Adidas, and more popular brands. 

Even if you’re not headed to the U.S. Open, you can definitely incorporate these clothes and accessories into your everyday wardrobe. You’ll even find workout dresses and skirts that you can wear to play tennis (or pickleball) if you want to get in on the action. Shop polo shirts, layering cardigans, midi dresses, and more to get the tenniscore look below. 

What to Wear to the U.S. Open

Polo Ralph Lauren Pony Chino Baseball Cap

Bloomingdales

Keep the sun out of your eyes with this baseball cap so you don’t miss a single shot. It features the Ralph Lauren pony logo embroidered on the front and the “Polo” wordmark on the back in contrasting colors. With the sliding adjustable back strap, you can fit the cap perfectly to your head. Since it’s made of 100 percent cotton, you can even throw it in the washing machine when it needs a refresher. Whether you’re sitting in the hot sun watching a match or actually on the court yourself, the interior sweatband will wick away moisture, too.

Feeling inspired to start playing the sport? This tennis dress will take you straight from the court to the U.S. Open stands—just add some accessories and a cardigan, and you’ll be good to go. The UPF 50+, sweat-wicking material is ideal for outdoor summer activities, while the cute fit-and-flare silhouette can be easily dressed up. And there are attached shorts to keep you covered while you’re on the go. One shopper said that the “built-in shorts [are] so smart for chasing a toddler and windy days!”

Macy's

A quintessential tennis bracelet will complete your U.S. Open ensemble, and luckily you don’t have to spend thousands of dollars to get your own. This one from Macy’s is only $50, but it looks much more expensive. Plus, in addition to the classic diamond style, there are also colorful gemstones available, including light purple and a multicolored option with additional pinks and blues. (You can grab a matching tennis necklace, too.)

J.Crew Perfect-Fit Shrunken Polo Shirt

J.Crew

Polo shirts have a country club vibe that will fit in nicely at the U.S. Open. This top has a fitted silhouette that’s great for tucking into trousers, jeans, or tennis skirts, so you’ll be able to style it in multiple ways. It will transition effortlessly to fall when worn under a sweater or blazer, as well. Made of 100 percent cotton, the polo shirt comes in solid red and cream and in black and white stripes.
