What to wear to Wimbledon?

Please help me, stylish ladies!
I am lucky enough to be going to Wimbledon in the second week, we are taking guests (business) so I need to be on the smart end of smart casual, we are taking a long taxi ride (from oop north), then the day watching the tennis, nice lunch, taxi home etc so im thinking layers but any leggings, tunic, cardi combo that I've come up with doesn't look smart enough, I wore a lovely dress last time but I think the weather will probably be poor this time and am a bit stuck!

I live in Wimbledon and was just about to come on and say 'anything, we're not that judgey!'

Definitely no to leggings. Skinnies, smart top and blazer?

The Daily Mail have already answered your question

I only buy it on Saurdays. Honest!

Depending on which day you are going I think weather might be ok next week? About 20 degrees? Perfect wimbledon conditions.
Personally I like to wear a dress - don't get out much these days though so any excuse !
Depending on what sort if hospitality area you are in you will be unlikely to look overdressed but could look under.
I have found smartish dress with cardigan and pashmina type affair for layering/ extra warmth has been good previous years.
Also if you are on centre court I think the heating system when the roof is shut means you need to need to be ready for all seasons regardless of weather forecast.

Oh just realised you say it's second week - anything could be going on with the weather by then!
Plenty of time for shopping though!

Suncream! I got burnt last year Blush on a cloudy day, as there was very little cover & sat facing into sun.

Layers are the way to go, it was freezing in the evening last year. Definitely take a big scarf in your bag for later on.

I wore straight fitted white trousers, a grey tunic top and a 'boyfriend' style striped blazer, with flat loafers, big shades & jewellery. If you're comfier in leggings I really wouldn't worry (unless you're going in some swanky drinks areas) as people will only really see your top half, so wear them.

Have a lovely time!

A hat in case it is sunny. Gorgeous sunglasses. I would wear trousers (not jeans), summer top and blazer/smart cardi to cover up. Sunscreen!

Unless you're on centre court I would suggest a raincoat with a hood
