What to wear to the French Open
When it comes to Grand Slam fashion, the French Open is the ultimate stage for effortless, sun-kissed chic. Unlike the strict all-white traditions of Wimbledon, Paris invites you to play with texture, prints and a blend of sporty functionality and high-fashion elegance. It’s about looking refined under the Parisian sun without sacrificing comfort – whether you’re courtside or soaking up the atmosphere from the stands. Below, some style inspirations

Headwear
You’ll be sitting under the midday sun for hours, making a statement hat an absolute necessity. Woven from straw, this one from Gucci is shaped with a wide brim that offers both coverage and drama, finished with a floral-print silk that nods to the house’s heritage.
For a touch of timeless, quiet luxury, opt for the Miu Miu crochet hat. This classic straw hat brings an instant old money aesthetic to the stands, elevating even the simplest outfit.
Dresses
For a more laid-back vibe, this Dôen checked cotton midi dress brings an effortless, sun-drenched cottagecore feel that’s perfect for a warm afternoon by the clay courts.
Breathable yet beautifully feminine, the Shushu/Tong bead and sequin-embellished plissé mini dress is a standout daytime choice. It features a structured sweetheart bodice that flares into a playful skirt, complete with delicate sequin dragonfly embroidery.
For elevated elegance, switch into this polka-dot silk-satin maxi dress by Dries Van Noten. The artful, flowing silhouette with its layered dots feels incredibly chic and polished – simply pair it with minimal accessories to complete the look.
Footwear
For daytime matches, stay comfortably cool in Golden Goose’s Super-Star sneakers. This specific pair features a burgundy glitter star, silver leather heel tab and leopard-print laces, adding a fun yet stylish edge to your look.
If you’d rather skip the sneakers while staying grounded, the Hermès Meli ballet flats are the perfect chic alternative. Finished with a palladium-plated buckle and the iconic Hermès boat hook pattern, they deliver effortless sophistication and all-day comfort.
For elevated glamour, elevate your ensemble with YSL’s Madeleine slingback pumps in silk taffeta. Adorned with hand-stitched couture ruffles and a sharp pointed toe, these stilettos are the epitome of Parisian elegance.
