If you've managed to secure a ticket to Wimbledon this year, the likelihood is you're mentally mapping out your outfit already. The world-famous tennis tournament, which starts on 30th June, promises to be a key highlight of the summer season.

There may not be a formal dress code for Wimbledon as there is for other events like Ascot, but there's undoubtedly a certain aesthetic. Think white, preppy separates, poker dots and sharp pinstripe tailoring. You'll also see a lot of blue and white and racing green.

My go-to is a white dress, oversized blazer and wedges to navigate the inevitable rain, but I've rounded up a few other fail-safe looks I've worn over the years.
