What the Hirestreet Girls Wore to Wimbledon

Game, set, and seriously good outfits. Here's how our girls dressed for the most stylish two weeks in the British summer calendar.

Strawberries and cream. The thwack of a tennis ball on grass. And the very important question that has nothing to do with who's serving - what are you wearing?

Wimbledon is the one occasion in the British social calendar where the dress code does half the work for you. White is always a strong move. Florals are practically compulsory. And if you can pull off a straw hat without looking like you've wandered in from a countryside fête, you're already winning.

This year, our Hirestreet girls took their seats at SW19 and honestly? They looked incredible. From crisp white midis to bold florals and the kind of floaty summer dresses that were made for a day in the stands, here's every look, ranked by how much we want to steal it.

The Looks

The Classic White Midi

There is a reason this look never, ever fails at Wimbledon. Clean lines, effortless elegance, a nod to the players on court. Our girl wore a white satin midi with a subtle ruched waist - simple enough to let the occasion do the talking, but fitted enough that she looked like she'd thought about it (even if it took her approximately three minutes to get dressed). Paired with strappy tan heels and a woven bag. No notes.

The vibe: Princess of Wales energy, but make it accessible. The rental: Dress The Population Monroe Maxi in white - and yes, before you ask, it's available to hire.

The Polka Dot Moment

If 2026 has one Wimbledon print story, it's polka dots. From Ellie Goulding's Chloé capelet dress on the celebrity circuit to our own girl in a navy and white spot midi that she hired on a whim and then immediately wanted to keep — dots were everywhere this year, and rightly so. There's something about a polka dot dress and a sunny afternoon that feels inherently correct.

The vibe: French girl at a garden party. Effortless without trying. The rental: Talulah navy polka dot midi — one of the fastest-renting styles we have in the summer season, for good reason.

The Floral Power Dress

Not quiet florals. Not a subtle daisy print. We're talking a full, unapologetic, printed-from-shoulder-to-hem floral maxi that walked into Centre Court and immediately made three strangers ask where it was from. The answer, of course, was Hirestreet — hired for the week for a fraction of the retail price and returned on Monday with a very good story attached to it.

The vibe: If the Cotswolds were a dress. The rental: Pretty Lavish Hettie Asymmetric Ruffle Maxi in floral and before you scroll away, yes, we have it in multiple colourways.

The Linen Co-ord

For the girl who looked at the Wimbledon dress code and thought: I'd rather look like I've just arrived from a very chic holiday. A linen wide-leg trouser and blazer in a warm camel tone, not the obvious Wimbledon choice, but absolutely the right one. Worn with a simple white cami underneath and flat strappy sandals, this looked effortless in the way that only things you've actually thought about look effortless.

The vibe: Alexa Chung at Ralph Lauren's Wimbledon lunch, but the hire version. The rental: Nobody's Child linen co-ord - proof that you don't need to wear a dress to nail the Wimbledon brief.

The Slip Dress and Trainers

Look, not every Wimbledon attendee is in the Royal Box. Some of us are navigating the queue, hunting for a spot on Henman Hill and carrying approximately too many bags. For that girl, the slip dress and white trainer combination is the actual answer. Easy, comfortable, genuinely cool, and crucially it photographs really well when you inevitably end up on the big screen. Our girl wore a cornflower blue satin slip with fresh white Adidas and a linen blazer thrown over the top. She looked better than half the people who'd tried harder.

The vibe: Off-duty model energy. Lila Moss circa 2023. The rental: Oh Polly satin slip in blue - worn exactly like this, and it works every single time.

The Broderie Statement

White broderie anglaise is the Wimbledon formula that feels fresh every single year. There is something about the texture — the delicate cutwork, the way it moves — that feels both considered and completely effortless. Our girl wore a broderie midi with a square neck and a nipped waist, teamed with barely-there heeled sandals in nude. She looked like she belonged in a campaign. She was drinking warm Pimm's from a plastic cup. The disconnect was beautiful.

The vibe: Self-Portrait circa every great Wimbledon year. The rental: Ro&Zo broderie midi, one of those dresses that photographs better than it photographs, if that makes sense.

The Bold Colour in a Sea of White

Every year there are the rule-followers (white, florals, stripes) and then there's the one person in cobalt blue or cherry red who just goes for it and looks incredible. This year that person was ours. A cherry red peplum midi that made her look like she'd stepped out of a fashion editorial — not at all dissimilar, actually, to the Roland Mouret red dress the Princess of Wales wore to an early round this year. The lesson: sometimes the most stylish move is to not wear white at all.

The vibe: The Princess of Wales's Roland Mouret moment, democratised. The rental: Dress The Population in red, worn once, remembered forever.

How to Dress for Wimbledon (Without Overthinking It)

Wimbledon has an energy - smart, summery, a little bit special — and the good news is that you don't need to spend a fortune to nail it.

A few things worth knowing before you pack your bag:

Florals and white always work. There's a reason every celebrity who goes ends up in one or the other. They photograph well, they feel occasion-appropriate, and they keep you cool when the summer actually shows up.

The midi length is your friend. Too short feels wrong. Floor-length is a commitment on Henman Hill. The midi is exactly right for a long day on your feet.

Heels are a personal choice, not a requirement. Flat strappy sandals, block heels, even clean white trainers, all valid. The grass is uneven, the queues are long, and looking great matters more than suffering for it.

Rent, don't buy. The whole point of Wimbledon dressing is wearing something that feels special for a special occasion. You don't need to own it forever. Hire it, wear it brilliantly, return it.

Everything worn above is available to hire on Hirestreet - from the white midi to the polka dot moment, the broderie statement to the slip dress that works just as well with trainers as it does with heels. Thirty days with your dress. No dry-cleaning. Easy returns.
