Hot stuff: Wimbledon fashion

The strict dressing code of highly traditional tournament of Wimbledon, where outfits must be white in a 90%, gives little space for the designers to present innovative and outstanding designs. But this year two players have got some attention due to their outfits. In fact not only for their tennis outfits, but also for their warm-up clothes. Nike was behind both designs.
The outfit of Maria Sharapova was widely commented even before the tournament had started for three reasons: the shorts, the blouse, combining transparences with a front with buttons, and the jacket for the warm-up. A very original and innovative design that left no one indifferent.

But if the jacket of Sharapova was widely commented, also was the coat that Serena Williams wore during warm-up. It doesn't seem very confortable to play, but surely it doesn't go unnoticed. And her dress was very nice too, well complemented with a head band and earrings.

But Nike also produced good designs for their other players. In particular semifinalist Jie Zheng looked extremely cute in her t-shirt and skirt. On the other hand Adidas was almost unnoticed due to their little innovative (and a bit boring) designs and to the bad results of their players, with none of them reaching the quarter-finals. Only Reebok got some attention with the dress worn by Nicole Vaidisova, with little touches of blue, although almost everything looks good on this girl.

Finally Venus Williams brand Eleven worths a comment. The dress with the crossed shoulder straps was really original and looked great on her (the same as for Vaidisova, every outfit seems to fit her). And this time she got another player to wear her designs, Russian Nadia Petrova, who looked well on a t-shirt and skirt outfit, and this player is not that easy to fit.
