Trendy Bags for Wimbledon
At Wimbledon, fashion and tradition are inseparable. British summer style comes into its own here, clean tailoring, crisp shirting, pleated skirts, and always, a statement bag. From Princess Diana’s pared-back clutches to Serena Williams’s monogrammed totes, bags have long held their place courtside. This year, top-handle designs feel especially relevant, confident, purposeful, and perfectly in step with the setting.
Wimbledon guests dress with precision. Bags spotted around the grounds are expressive and deliberately chosen, from grained and embossed leathers to woven textures and vivid colour. Each one makes its presence known.
Natural Details
Handbags in woven taupe, embossed leather and soft-grained calfskin bring an added dimension to day dressing. Each one adds interest to an otherwise pared-back palette.

Style Notes for Wimbledon
Whether you’re seated centre court or catching coverage from a private terrace, the right bag pulls everything together. Here’s how to wear these standout top-handle pieces.
- Keep fabrics breezy but smart. Linen suiting, cotton poplin, and clean knit sets all pair seamlessly with top-handle bags. Balance the look with a loafer or minimal sandal, trainers are strictly for the players.
- Don’t underestimate the role of colour. A vermillion or persimmon leather bag works surprisingly well with soft whites, creams, or navy. Keep the rest of the look pared back and let the bag lead.
- Black doesn’t mean basic. If you’re going for a black handbag, think in terms of finish and mood. Satin, glossed or grained leather add dimension. Use it to ground a look built from pastels, pinstripes, or even muted florals.
- Texture tells a story. Woven totes, embossed leathers, and ribbed knits read fresh at Wimbledon. These work especially well with simpler styles, shirt dresses or A-line midi skirts.
- Sunglasses and jewellery should support, not compete. Stick to clean gold or silver details and classic frames.
