Of course! I’ve been, it wouldn’t be a problem.

Ploppymoodypants · 11/07/2019 13:55

I wore white jeans

Etino · 11/07/2019 13:56

No, Megan! You’ll get torn apart in the press.

toomuchfaster · 11/07/2019 13:57

Too hot surely?

rainbowruthie · 11/07/2019 13:58

I have worn jeans to Wimbledon, no problem at all
(You wouldn't be allowed in the Royal Box though Grin)

I wouldn’t - if it’s a hot day you’ll bake. But you’re allowed to.

The dress code is only for the royal box and members areas only. If you are attending a corporate hospitality event with a nice lunch then most people will be well-dressed but the invitation will specify a dress code.
If you're going on your own ticket anything goes, it might be too hot for jeans. We all went in shorts yesterday.

I did last week, we had Centre Court tickets DH wore shorts and I had jeans and a t-shirt on. Dress for the weather and in something comfortable, unless of course you are in the Royal Box or in a members area where a dress code would apply.

If you get a chance and want a cheap memento, the used tennis balls are only £1 each or £5 for 6, all stamped Wimbledon 2019 and are the balls used that day. They are sold in a kiosk next to Centre Court (side next to court 18) maximum 6 per person but they do sell out. DH left it too late to get any.

Oh sorry I didn't realise this was one of those silly threads and I answered seriously. People who are given free tickets to attend an event with a dress code should follow it. If I can sit in the members area which has by far the best seats I am happy to sit there in a ball gown and tiara even if it hits 90 degrees.

I went to the women's final last year and wore a cute summer dress with nice flats and felt adequately dressed. There were plenty of casual jean wearers too but they must've been sweltering!!

dottiedodah · 11/07/2019 14:32

Wow lucky you.Really envious now(watching WB with the dog at home)!.I would wear a dress ,or maybe shorts with a pretty top (think Kim Sears watching hubby last W/E!Have a great time BTW!

It would have been too hot in jeans, yes. Glad I went with a summer dress.
