One way to make a statement in the August heat at Arthur Ashe Stadium during the U.S. Open is to accessorize with fuzzy shearling.
Most attendees of the event opt for breezy blouses and linen separates, with the competitors wearing standard athletic apparel. Venus Williams, 45, who boasts seven Grand Slam titles, made a far bolder statement when she walked onto the court to face Karolína Muchová on Monday. It wasn’t with her outfit — a white short-sleeve polo and matching pleated skirt — but with her racket bag, which was covered in an almost yellow, fuzzy shearling, instead of the standard polyester or nylon.
