Classic Spectator Style: What to Wear to the US Open
The US Open runs from August 23 through September 13 and overlaps with the start of NY Fashion Week, which means we’re talking about some of the hottest—and most stylish—times of the year. So while dressing for the Open is certainly about looking good, it’s also about dressing for the heat and potentially spending several hours walking around the grounds.
Here are some of The Get’s picks for both him and her.
For Him
The polo. The Lacoste Original Polo is still the gold standard.
A striped tee for the days you want something more relaxed. The Ralph Lauren Striped Lisle Tee has that easy, put-together look without trying too hard.
Linen, because it’s hot out there. The Ralph Lauren Lightweight Linen Shirt is breathable, breezy, and looks stylish buttoned over a tee or worn open.
On his feet: Adidas Stan Smiths — perforated stripes, green heel tab, done.
For Her
The shirtdress that does it all. The Ralph Lauren Cotton A-Line Shirtdress is polished, cool in the heat, and doesn’t need much beyond a great pair of sunglasses to finish it.
For something effortless for night: The Anthropologie Somerset Strapless Maxi Dress is easy, breezy, perfect.
And if a sporty skirt is more your speed: The Wilson Midtown Tennis Skirt is the real deal—actually made for the court and just as cute off it. Pair it with a boxy T-shirt or tank.
On her feet: The Birkenstock x Proenza Schouler collab if you want a fashionable yet comfortable all-day-into-night sandal; the classic Adidas Stan Smith; the Nike LD-1000; or a stylish A.Emery sandal for an elevated yet minimal look.
The Accessories That Matter
Hats: The OG US Open Cap for the traditionalists, the Polo Sport Chino Baseball Hat for easy prep, and the Janessa Leoné Felix Bucket Hat if you want your hat to double as the outfit during the day.
Sunglasses: Ray-Ban Original Wayfarers — timeless, unisex, and they go with literally everything above.
A tote: The Indego Africa Raffia Tote is beautiful and gives back. Indego Africa works with artisans in Rwanda and Ghana. Or go with a small-sized L.L.Bean Boat and Tote if you want the classic of classics.
A portable fan: This one on Amazon is small enough to toss in your tote and is great at keeping you cool.
SPF that won’t melt off by set three: EltaMD UV Sheer SPF 50 — lightweight and no white cast.
See you courtside. xx
