The US Open has officially commenced in New York, and while tennis is the highlight, our attention is drawn more towards the outfits the girls are showcasing at this premier sporting event of the season. Here’s a recap of everything we observed styled on the most fashionable sidelines of summer.
1. Butter Yellow Does it Again
We can never be displeased with a butter yellow ensemble, and it appears that this sought-after color has firmly established itself in the end-of-summer sports scene. We noticed girls embracing the hue in various styles, but these three? They didn’t just wear butter yellow—they were enveloped in it. Left: Maintaining a classy vibe in monochrome, this outfit featured a flowing maxi skirt paired with a light sweater. Draped over the shoulders? A timeless striped cardigan. A standout look for enjoying the game in style. Middle: That plaid tweed blazer? We’re taking notes. A professional yet eye-catching piece that seems tailor-made for this occasion. She effortlessly paired it with cream ballet flats, and the black bubble skirt provided perfect balance from head to toe. Right: Butter yellow and stripes might just be the most enchanting combination yet. Styled with dark blue jorts, Tabi shoes (a personal favorite), and a white hobo bag, this look checks every box.
2. Refined Preparation
A button-down shirt is always a winning choice. The striking blue linen version made a bold statement at the stadium, showcasing various styling options from the girls: combined with mini shorts, crisp white tanks, and understated accessories. The vibrant splash of color certainly left an impression, wrapping up the season with flair. Left: We noticed this stylish ensemble paired with the **Diorviera Slides** and a Louis Vuitton crossbody bag, embodying subtle luxury with a bold statement. Right: The blue linen skirt elevates this outfit; however, the **Louis Vuitton Monogram Speedy Bag** truly captures attention. Both outfits exude elegance in a striking manner, featuring that signature touch of brown.
3. Shimmering Whites
As Labor Day approaches, it’s expected that many will don white while they still have the chance. We observed a range of styles from white button-down maxi dresses to sophisticated tennis onesies. The all-white ensemble continues to possess the charm of being impeccably polished, offering an effortless and timeless approach to achieving a crisp, clean, and well-coordinated look. Many embraced this classic trend. Left: Donning a low-plunge linen dress, which has become the unofficial uniform for the US Open, but it’s those suede Sambas that are generating buzz. Middle: This cream-white tennis outfit takes the sporty spotlight—a sleek blend of classic whites and athletic style. Right: A casual yet refined high-slit dress that serves as a staple for the event. She complemented it with simple white sneakers and a top-handle bag. All these styles are destined for our “What to Wear to the Open” guide.
4. Presenting a Look: Tenniscore at Its Peak
For those embracing their inner tennis-core, we observed sporty dresses styled in various ways, and from every angle, they undeniably drew attention. Scoring points both on and off the court, these outfits enhanced traditional tennis attire with striking shoe selections and accessories, reintegrating fashion into sportswear and reviving that retro-athletic vibe for 2025. Let's break it down. Left: A pleated skirt is the simplest method to make any ensemble court-appropriate, but when paired with a white button-down and accent sneakers, it instantly infuses a high-fashion flair. Middle: This outfit? Absolutely stunning. A flawless fusion of on-court and runway—the** Red Nike Tennis Skir****t** styled with coordinating red tights and heels is a powerful combination we never anticipated. Right: Integrating the signature tennis green into any outfit is a guaranteed success. This dress, styled with jelly flats (yes, jelly flats!), may just be hinting at what’s on the horizon for fall.
5. Pattern Extravaganza
A scarf pattern can significantly enhance an outfit, instantly adding a touch of sophistication. We’re thrilled it has made its glamorous comeback at the U.S. Open. Often paired with solid-colored garments, these patterns provided the perfect splash of color, particularly when complemented by a slide or kitten heel to soften the overall look. Left: An ideal harmony between a thick belted corset and a low, flowing skirt. The structured ratio here is always a winner, and with those textured details plus that necklace? Absolutely yes. Right: The butter-yellow coordination here. From the shades in the scarf to the tailored skirt, it’s a game-changer, quite literally. She completed the look with a striking pop of color: a hot pink bag that’s sure to attract attention.
6. Stripes Galore
It seems that stripes were a major trend this season. We observed this pattern in various styles and hues, ranging from traditional navy blue to vibrant, eye-catching red. Stripes dominated both sets and dresses, establishing themselves as one of the most favored designs at the event, particularly in the classic navy-and-white combination. An incredibly stylish and perpetually sophisticated option. Left: A striped collared set is always a safe bet, especially when complemented by delicate tan slingback heels. This ensemble strikes the perfect balance between sporty and chic. Middle: This **Striped Poplin Shirt Dress** is simply perfect. It offers a flattering softness to the silhouette, and that belt? Always in vogue. Right: Stripes have appeared in every shade, but a green-and-white combination at the Open? Nearly as delightful as clinching a victory.
7. Nothing to Hide: Sheer Moments Everywhere.
This was a surprise, but we are happily enamored. Sheer fabric meets athletic style. We noticed two remarkable outfits that embraced jersey-core with a daring touch of sheer elegance. Left: An exquisite soft yellow sheer dress layered over a jersey, anchored by snug-fitting jean shorts. But the true star? The **Green Adidas Sambas** that elevated this look to a memorable moment. Right: This ensemble is an absolute essential. Navy and white consistently make a winning pair in the arena, but the blend of gentle femininity with classic Adidas sportswear? It’s a must-have for courtside fashion.
8. Polka Dots Make Their Play
If you were to inquire about the most prominent trend we observed at the Open, there’s no doubt it would be polka dots. The girls showcased some of the most elaborate outfits we’ve ever encountered featuring this print, with several even daring to mix and match it with other striking patterns. Left: She maintained an effortlessly chic vibe in a t-shirt-style maxi cut-out dress. Casual style certainly goes a long way, especially with a print like this. Complemented by **Veja Campo Low Tops**, the ensemble felt both fresh and grounded. Middle: This outfit left us speechless. A cinched-waist polka-dot top paired with floral micro shorts and those **Chanel Interlocking loafers**—who could surpass this? Right: Cool yet elegant, a large-patterned polka-dot romper fulfills its purpose perfectly. She completed the look with the **Jessey Mary Jane flats**, staying on trend while ensuring comfort for a full day at the arena.
9. The Girls Are "In Check"
It seems that Dorothy Gale has made a comeback, and we are all for it. Gingham has been a summer staple, but it feels especially perfect right now. Left: The combination of red, brown, and yellow is always a winning choice in our opinion. She styled her outfit with the Chauntelle Ruched Top and a nude cargo skirt, finishing it off with a simple mixed-texture sandal. Middle: A matching set is the simplest trick for achieving an instantly polished look, and this Gingham Printed Pants Set nailed it. Completed with a white thong-heeled sandal, it’s an ideal summer sporting outfit. Right: This red gingham shirt is bringing the ten to tennis. Paired with a cream denim skort, it’s straightforward, sharp, and utterly flawless.
