There has been a major crackdown on
player flamboyant fashion at Wimbledon.
Andrew Jarrett, tournament referee,
has outlined new dress rules for Wimbledon participants.
…
Referencing back to a time of classic white / simple outfits,
players must now wear ‘predominately all white’ attire
with only a 1cm trim of colour allowed at the hem/edge of garments.
In an concentrated effort to preserve an all white clothing canvas,
white as signature colour even applies to undergarments.
(No more colour bleed from jaunty undies.)
…
Traditionally, white has been the colour to herald in the
‘chillax’ days of warmth and sunshine.
For summer 2014, white dominates as a go-to colour
on and off the Wimbledon green.

The introduction of a firm ‘Wimbledon Whites’
player dress code is reactionary.
It’s an attempt to rein in
the fashion flash of recent years
and codify expected player attire.
…
Yet, the OTT outifts of some players made for
an interesting fashion watch and
games, which were a bit more … colourful.

The top scoring aces for wearing outfits,
which made it difficult to keep your eye on the ball
are the Williams sisters: Venus and Serena.
They dared to fashion tread where others dared not.
