OMG, can we talk about the fashion panic that hits before heading to the US Open?
Last year I was literally buried under a pile of rejected outfits the night before, wondering how I could possibly nail that perfect tennis-chic vibe!
After several visits (and a few style mishaps I can laugh about now), I’ve cracked the code on what to wear to this amazing tournament.
Here are eight outfit ideas that’ll have you looking fantastic while staying comfy through every thrilling match!
1. The Classic Tennis Whites
Tennis whites aren’t just for the players—they’re for us fashion-forward fans too!
A crisp white tennis dress or white shorts with a polo top is absolutely perfect for those sunny matches.
Add cute white sneakers and maybe a pop of color with accessories, and you’ll be serving major style points!
I wore this ensemble last year during a Gauff match and not only stayed cool in the heat, but felt perfectly in sync with the tennis tradition.
Bonus: you’ll look amazing in all your Instagram photos against the blue courts!
❤️Girl’s fashion hack #1:
Use nail polish clear coat on fraying thread ends to stop further unraveling until you can properly repair the item!
2. The Pleated Skirt Magic
There’s something so fun and flirty about a pleated skirt at the US Open!
Pair it with a simple tee or sleeveless top and you’ve got that perfect sporty-meets-stylish vibe.
The best part? This outfit actually moves with you as you bounce between courts or jump up to cheer for an amazing shot!
Go for moisture-wicking fabrics and comfy sneakers, and you’re set for hours of tennis excitement.
I love how this look can go from day to evening with just a light jacket—versatility for the win!
❤️Girl’s fashion hack #2:
Prevent button-down shirts from gapping between buttons by using double-sided fashion tape <3
If you are reading this blog post till now, there’s one thing for sure…
You have good taste! <3 If you approve of some of these looks, please kindly pin or share some of these outfits so many tasteful fashion babes can come across this outfit inspo, thanks pretty! ❤️
And…it would truly mean the world to me if you stay until the very end. ❤️
3. Suite Life Sophistication
Lucky enough to score premium seats?
Yay you! Up your fashion game with tailored shorts or a knee-length skirt paired with a crisp button-down or cute polo.
Forget the heels (trust me on this one!) and opt for chic loafers or fashionable flats instead.
A lightweight blazer in a fun color adds that perfect touch of polish. This outfit just screams “I’m here to see and be seen” while still letting you enjoy every serve and volley in comfort!
❤️Girl’s fashion hack #3:Rub clear deodorant on the inside hem of pants/skirts to prevent thigh chafing. ❤️

4. Athleisure Ace
Who says athletic wear can’t be super stylish?
Rock your favorite performance leggings or joggers with a trendy athletic top and look absolutely fabulous while staying incredibly comfortable!
Light colors are your friend here (the sun is no joke!), and a cute baseball cap adds both style and sun protection.
This is my go-to look for those action-packed days when I’m zipping between outer courts to catch all my favorite players.
Practical? Yes!
Boring? Never!
❤️Girl’s fashion hack #4:Use rolled-up magazine pages to maintain boot shape when storing – truly work wonders imo lol
❤️For my baddies who wanna spoil themselves: ❤️
For the baddies who wanna spoil themselves but don’t wanna break the bank… check out the bags babies below❤️
From my backend data, almost every 3 days someone from LTK and my email list will buy these two bags lol (Different sizes - some prefer mini some prefer the normal).
It's always so fun see from data to know what you girls prefer!
5. Day-to-Night Dazzler
Playing doubles with both day and evening sessions?
A breezy sundress is your perfect match!
Choose something in a fun print or bright color that makes you smile, then add a denim jacket or cute cardigan that can hang around your waist during sunny matches and keep you warm when the evening cools down.
This saved my life during last year’s quarterfinals when I went from sweating to shivering as the sun set.
The best part?
You’ll look effortlessly put-together the entire time!
❤️Girl’s fashion hack #5:
Stretch tight shoes by wearing them with thick socks and blowing them with a hairdryer!
6. The Fan-tastic Look
Show your tennis love with the coolest fan gear!
A vintage tournament tee or player merchandise paired with comfortable shorts or jeans is the perfect way to wear your tennis heart on your sleeve.
This outfit has started so many amazing conversations with fellow fans—it’s like an instant friend-maker!
Add trendy sneakers and a crossbody bag, and you’re ready to cheer on your favorites in style. I met my tennis bestie last year when we both showed up in retro Agassi tees!
❤️Girl’s fashion hack #6:
Quick fix – Brighten yellowed white clothing by soaking in a solution of lemon juice and hot water!
7. The One-and-Done Jumpsuit
Want the easiest, breeziest option that still looks absolutely fabulous? A lightweight jumpsuit is your answer!
One piece, zero stress, and total style!
Choose a flattering color or print that makes you happy, add a wide-brimmed hat for sun protection (and dramatic effect!), and you’re tournament-ready in minutes.
This has become my ultimate go-to for semifinals and finals—it photographs beautifully and feels like wearing pajamas.
What’s not to love?!
❤️Girl’s fashion hack #7:
Whenever I feel bloated, I’ll always use a rubber band to loop through a button hole and around the button for a temporary fix to pants that are too tight!
FINAL THOUGHTS:
Remember, the US Open is as much a fashion event as it is a tennis tournament!
The right outfit will have you feeling confident and comfortable through every ace and upset.
I’ve watched friends hobble around in uncomfortable shoes while I bounced from court to court in style—don’t let that be you!
With these outfit ideas, you’ll be ready to sip honey deuces, cheer for incredible tennis moments, and look absolutely fabulous in every selfie.
Game, set, match to your style baddie!
