What to Wear to a Tennis Club — The PP Natural Fabric Guide
What to wear to a tennis club — the court, the clubhouse, the spectator occasion, Wimbledon, Dubai tennis.
The tennis club — from the All England Club at Wimbledon to the Tennis Club de Monaco to the Dubai Tennis Stadium and the private clubs of the Home Counties — is an occasion with a specific and well-established dress culture. The wardrobe that carries the tennis club correctly spans the court itself and the social occasions around it: the pre-match warm-up, the post-match drink at the bar, the club lunch, and the more formally observed occasions such as club tournaments and dress-code evenings.
The court. On the court, performance clothing is standard and PP does not compete with technical sportswear for the actual match. The PP Tennis Shirt in certified Belgian linen — available in Vanille, White, Oyster, and Oatmeal — is designed for the warm-climate court context where linen's breathability provides a genuine comfort advantage over synthetic fabrics. The tonal PP monogram, the seashell buttons — the court context for a natural fabric shirt.

— Pieter Petros, founderFor the clubhouse and the bar. After the match — the club bar, the terrace, the lunch table. A PP linen shirt in white or navy with linen shorts or linen trousers and leather shoes. The post-match register of the tennis club is smart casual to casual depending on the club; the PP linen shirt carries the full range. At clubs with a smarter dress code for the bar and restaurant: a navy PP linen shirt with linen trousers and leather loafers.
For the spectator occasion. Watching at the club — the tournament, the match, the social gathering. The same PP linen wardrobe as the post-match bar context: a white or composed PP linen shirt with linen trousers and leather shoes. For Wimbledon and the most formally observed club tournaments: a PP linen shirt with linen trousers and a PP jacket (Monte Carlo or Monaco Blazer) for the Members' enclosure.
For the women's club context. A PP ladies linen set in white or oyster for the court and the terrace; a PP linen blouse with linen trousers and leather shoes for the club lunch.
