Amid fast-changing fashion trends, Wimbledon has remained a bastion of “classy” style, with players and attendees donning their finest whites at the London tennis tournament which some say is reminiscent of traditional British high society.
“This is Wimbledon! You’ve got to dress up,” Jari Hedman, 65, said with a smile.
The Finnish tennis coach had bought an Italian-made white linen suit for the occasion, paired with a navy blue jacket and a flourish of colour with an orange tie.
He had picked the “classy” attire “in honour of the tournament”, Hedman told AFP.
The Wimbledon tennis championships, which runs from June 29 to July 12 this year and is the oldest of the Grand Slam tournaments, will celebrate its 150th anniversary next year.
