What to wear for a tennis match... it depends on the season, the tournament (Wimbledon is more buttoned up, for example) and of course, the city. As the US Open happens in NYC, overlapping with the rev up for fall and fashion month during the tail end of August and early September, it offers a great opportunity to flex some of your dressing know-how. In other words: the art of looking elevated but unfussy; photo-ready, but temperature appropriate.

As a lifelong attendee of the Open, and a style editor, I consider myself a bit of a pro, so I've pulled together 6 celebrity outfits from the early tournament this year, along with a few favorites from 2023, and the perfect pieces and styling tips to achieve each look. Read on to get the looks.

The Prep

Classic style courtesy of Ralph Lauren. The navy button down keeps the look from feeling too high summer and too daytime, and the camel accessories pull everything toward polish.

The Knit Dress

The easiest way to look elevated but still feel comfortable is with a knit dress. All you need are sophisticated accessories to do the talking; for example: a block heeled sandal, or a shoe with a square buckle.

Belle Vivier Colorblock Slingback Pumps

Ribbed Cotton-Blend Polo Dress

Women's Bowie Ankle Strap Heeled Sandals

The Viscose Knit Polo Midi Dress

The Soho Sandal

The Mini

Much like the shorts ensemble, a miniskirt is a great weather-appropriate style. The key to keeping things mature? A tailored but not too oversized button down, and a sporty hat. Pro tip: wear sleek sneakers—maybe in a suede—for a little something extra.

The Strapless Dress

I love a strapless dress for the balance it offers. Sure, the shoulders are bare, but you can wear a good pair of fall boots to create contrast. All around, a great transitional dressing staple.

Argyle Excellence

The argyle sweater, worn here by our September cover star Katie Holmes, is a preppy classic for a reason. It's colorful, interesting, and can be worn day to night. All you need to complement it is a pair of really good jeans.

All About the Jacket

The barn jacket is having a major moment. Make it evening appropriate with feminine, sculptural accessories.
