TENNIS TIME: WHAT TO WEAR TO THE ADELAIDE INTERNATIONAL

The Adelaide International has returned, bringing six days of world-class tennis, summer weather and, as always, stylish courtside crowds. It’s the perfect excuse to lean into looks that feel effortless from day sessions through to evening matches. From elevated basics to preppy classics, here’s some outfit inspiration to keep you stylish and cool this season.

A MONOGRAM MOMENT

When it comes to courtside dressing, simplicity is key, but with intention. A logo or monogrammed tank instantly elevates any look. Whether embossed, metal-plated or subtly stitched, pair it with denim shorts or a tailored mini for an outfit that feels considered without the hassle.

GAME, CO-ORD SET, MATCH

Pressed for time, or falling victim to the after-work rush? A matching set is the ultimate shortcut to looking put-together. Polka dots are having their moment, while soft pastels and block colours remain timeless.

POP OF COLOUR

Nothing screams summer more than colour. A bright knit or lightweight cardigan draped loosely over the shoulders adds personality while serving a practical purpose once the sun dips. It’s a simple styling trick and pairs nicely with an Aperol Spritz in hand.

NOTHING BUT NEUTRAL

For a classic approach, neutrals never miss. Take notes from the tradition of ‘Wimbledon Whites’ with an all-white ensemble or lean into soft beiges and stone tones. Linen and fine merino wool are ideal for warm afternoons that turn cool by evening.

COURTSIDE IS MY RUNWAY

At SA Style, we believe there’s no such thing as overdressed – especially at the tennis. Considered one of the most fashion-forward sports in the world, tennis is the perfect moment to embrace preppy influences: striped separates, crisp collared shirts, and textured polos.
