How A Fashion Editor Styles Tennis Outfits For US Open

Ever since I dyed my hair copper, green has been my favorite color to wear, and it has quickly filled up my wardrobe. From Kelly green and emerald to lime and chartreuse, my closet was made for a tennis match. Inspired by the shades of tennis balls and courts, I went all out with a green striped skirt, bold sunglasses, crossbody bag, and printed silk scarf. And because I had the US Open during the day and a Havaianas party at night, I had to slip into Brazilian flag-colored flip-flops for it all.

For sporting events, crossbody bags are definitely the way to go, and a convertible one that can also be worn as a top-handle, shoulder, or belt bag is a major win. I cannot tell you how surprisingly versatile my chartreuse Kate Spade Duo bag actually is (or just how many compliments it got at the matches). To complement it, I tied my sold-out Old Navy x Christopher John Rogers polka dot-printed scarf around the strap. And if you want the same look, there are tons of green polka dot or tennis ball print alternatives online. And while I accessorized with sleek silver jewelry, including my Bulova watch, you just know I would’ve worn a green-faced watch if I owned one to go green to the max.
