The Australian Open returns to Melbourne in 2024 with two weeks of phenomenal on-court battles kicking off on the 14th of January in the iconic Melbourne Park tennis precinct. While players strive to achieve greatness on the court, spectators bring their all to game day with sophisticated, head-turning street style.
Estelle’s guide to creating the perfect outfit for attending the Australian Open is here.
First things first, what is The Australian Open’s dress code?
There is no official dress code for attending the Australian Open, but there are certain items you should avoid - ripped jeans, thongs, singlets, or sports shorts are not allowed. Beyond this, you can freely flaunt your style and dress to impress!
The intersection between style and comfort will become your best friend! Make a statement with a fresh outfit and trendy sunglasses but style them with a pair of white sneakers so you can explore the grounds in comfort.
Here are Estelle’s size-inclusive AO24 must-haves and how to style them.
Natural Beauty
This season is all about natural fibres! Whether you're dressing for the Australian Open or life in general, the linen-blend Aubrey Dress will be on high rotation.
Skirt Season
When Ariana Grande wore a tailored midi skirt to the Wimbledon World Cup, we were all taking notes! A dense midi skirt looks sophisticated, ensuring easy movement and ongoing comfort as warm days become cool evenings. Estelle’s Mahana Skirt can easily be styled with a tee or button-up skirt.
Broderie Chic
When it comes to summer styles (and Australian summer at that) you can always rely on broderie pieces to create an elevated look with a touch of coastal wearability. Reach for the Cordelia Dress to create the perfect AO24 daytime look.
Classically Cool
Fresh foliage prints are always in season. The lightweight fabric and wrap-illusion silhouette of the Tropic Leaves Dress will keep you cool on those summer afternoons while making you feel timelessly elegant.
Colour Burst
Your Australian Open style is not the time to be bashful! Bring a pop of colour to the courtside with the Wildberry Dress. Cut from a cotton-blend fabric, this midi is both breathable and stylish.
Now that you have the perfect outfit, all you have to worry about is keeping your eye on the tennis ball. We hope you have the best time at the AO24, and don't forget to tag Estelle in the fun!
