There's something particularly special about late summer in New York – the city hums with electric energy, which is most obvious at the US Open. With the sound of tennis balls ringing throughout Arthur Ashe Stadium, the warm golden light bouncing off the bleachers, and the undeniable sense of elegance that marks the event, the US Open is as much a fashion event as it is a sporting one.
From VIP boxes to late cocktails in the city, what you wear to the US Open counts. It's an occasion that necessitates classic attire - items that mix sophistication and ease, meant to transition from courtside seats to dinner reservations seamlessly.
This season, we're redefining tennis-core chic with simple designs, sophisticated knitwear, and fluid fabrics that glide as effortlessly as the athletes themselves. Whether you're dressing for a daytime match or an after-hours soirée, we've prepared the perfect guide on what to wear to the US Open, with standout looks from our most recent collection.
The Modern Courtside Look
Tennis-inspired clothes have always had a crisp, clean aesthetic—think structured whites, sharp lines, and effortless femininity. This year, however, the emphasis is on modern simplicity. Instead of using sports insignia, the emphasis is on sleek, knit silhouettes that combine comfort and sophistication.
Start with our LIA KNIT TOP, a halter-style garment with a white bust detail and a sculpted black bodice that flatters every body type. Pair it with the KNIT CAPRI PANTS for a polished but comfortable appearance that fits right in among New York's most trendy spectators.
The knit two-piece set finds the ideal balance between casual and elevated, conveying that you understand fashion without trying too hard. Strappy sandals and big sunglasses finish off the look, and a silk scarf knotted around your neck or handbag adds a touch of retro tennis flair.
Day Matches to Dinner Plans
One of the best things about the US Open? The program frequently shifts from sunny midday contests to evening entertainment, and your attire should do the same. This is where our LIA KNIT MINI SKIRT comes in.
This knit mini skirt is sleek, sculptural, and unquestionably stylish. It pairs nicely with the LIA KNIT TOP to create a knit two-piece set that turns heads without dominating the look's simplicity. Pair it with kitten heels for an afternoon match, then switch to heeled mules and a smart jacket for dinner.
The beauty of this combination is its versatility; it can be worn for both formal occasions and informal sophistication. The basic color palette, soft fabrics, and body-hugging fit combine to produce a seamless silhouette that exemplifies what we love most about timeless clothing, which is simple elegance.
Elevated Evening Elegance
If you're going to one of the US Open's evening matches or a post-match party, the goal is amplified drama — think fluid silhouettes, elegant fabrics, and discreet statement-making. The Nora Strapless Maxi Dress and Stole Set comes in black and white.
This style exemplifies the type of special occasion gown that draws attention. The floor-length cut lengthens the figure, and the matching LONG BLACK VISCOSE STOLE gives a touch of Old Hollywood glamour.
Maxi dresses are popular this season, but the Nora Set is intended to transcend fads – a wonderful example of timeless clothes. The strapless neckline and fluid drape make it great for warm summer nights, and the accompanying stole is versatile — drape it loosely for an ethereal touch, or tie it as a silk scarf two-piece set skirt and top for a creative twist.
For accessories, opt for modest gold jewelry and a standout clutch. If you're sitting courtside for a night match, a soft shawl or stole from the Nora Set will provide just the right amount of warmth—and drama.
Comfort Meets Couture
Of course, comfort is essential at a multi-day sporting event like the US Open. However, comfort does not have to come at the expense of elegance. The smoothness of the materials, as well as the way each piece is meant to move with you, are what make our collection special.
The GIULETTA Flare Pants, for example, are made of a flexible, airy fabric that easily transitions from daylight walking to nighttime mingling. The silhouette provides a discreet styling option that looks great with both sandals and heels.
Accessorizing the Look
The accessories at the US Open are all about perfection. Wear minimal jewelry, such as slender hoops, delicate chains, or sculptural gold pieces. Add a touch of retro tennis elegance to your outfit with a silk scarf, which can be tied around your neck, wrist, or bag.
Sunglasses are necessary (and provide an opportunity to express personality). To enhance your style, opt for large forms or angular cat-eyes. If you're going to a match during the day, wear a wide-brimmed hat for sun protection and style, the kind of effortless detail that distinguishes the US Open's fashion elite.
Don't forget about your footwear: courtside attire should be elegant and simple. Wear open-toe sandals throughout the day and low-block heels or mules at night.
Our SILK ORGANZA SCRUNCHIE that comes in black and blue adds a classy touch to city elegance and pairs perfectly with any structured mini bag or soft clutch.
