Ace the US Open With These Outfit Ideas 

A Timeless White Dress With a Black Bag

There’s nothing more glamorous than a strapless white dress. The look above is flattering, glamorous, but also extremely simple. While the white strappy heels create a polished finish, the black handbag creates contrast, preventing the look from feeling bridal. This outfit combination is especially perfect for the tournament as you’ll remain as cool (as you can) amid the New York summer heat since the courts are outdoors. 

The relaxed fit of this Norma Kamali number makes it extremely versatile. You can dress it up with heels like the model or with flip-flops for a casual look long after the US Open.

Bags with fun shapes and textures are all the rage, and you don’t have to break the bank to hop on the trend. This look from Cos is under $200 and can be paired with dresses, denim, and even activewear when you want to spice up your Pilates uniform.

Pops of Color and Big Hair Accessories

If you’re looking for a way to add life to a white or light colored dress, consider bold pops of color like red when it comes to footwear and accessories. This can help an outfit feel cohesive while remaining balanced and calm.

Hair accessories have been having a moment this year in the form of bows, clips, and headbands—the options are endless. Adding hair accessories to your look is an easy way to make the most basic outfits stand out.

Channel your inner Blair Waldorf with this bright red headband. At the US Open, this piece would be a major serve with a white polo and a pleated skirt.

A Girly Dress With Sneakers and a Baseball Cap 

Pairing a cutesy white frock with sneakers and a baseball cap dresses down the ensemble without taking away from the look’s timelessness. Go for items that are neutral in color, that way the styling still feels aligned. Sneakers like the trendy Adidas Samba are an easy choice since the basic colorway is cloud white/core black. 

This dress feels playful and flirty. We also love it because it’s short enough to double as a shirt with distressed denim shorts.

If you haven’t already snagged this year’s “it” shoe, now’s the time. The style is comfortable, and I can personally attest to walking in them for miles. The price tag is also hard to beat.

Athleisure and Kitten Heels

Fashion should be fun—even if it doesn’t initially make sense. Styling activewear, like the Lacoste set above, with kitten heels and socks creates an outfit that is cozy, on theme, and memorable.

You don’t have to compromise when it comes to comfort when blending different style aesthetics like activewear and formalwear—especially with these plush Free People shorts, which shoppers have praised for being very “soft.”

The rise of kitten heels is one of the best things to ever happen in fashion. The style feels fancy yet low in effort—especially because they’re so easy to walk in. Plus, pairing athleisure with kitten heels makes more sense than stilettos or platforms.

A Black Dress and Flip-Flops

You can never go wrong with an LBD. They pair well with pretty much everything and work for every season. For the US Open, consider rocking one with statement detailing, like fun straps or cutouts, as this will instantly make your look feel more festive and celebratory. On your feet, opt for this summer’s hottest shoe trend: flip-flops.

The Skims Fits Everybody Slip Dress truly flatters all body types. Whenever I wear my Skims dress, I feel snatched and smooth. The look is perfect when dressed up with accessories, but can also work as an errand-running fit. So, if you’re worried about buying something you’ll only wear once, don’t be. After the US Open, fall will be upon us. Style this with a leather blazer and over-the-knee boots.

Flip-flops are back, and this style from Tory Burch is especially trendy thanks to the platform base. It feels like something Rachel from Friends would wear with a mini skirt or Joan from Girlfriends would rock with a tube top.

A Canadian Tuxedo 

I’m a big fan of denim on denim. The key to nailing the look is matching the denim shade closely, giving the illusion of a denim jumpsuit. When it comes to rocking a Canadian tuxedo for this year’s championship, opt for a button-up vest instead of a long sleeve shirt so you aren’t burning up under the sun as you watch the stars down below.

This denim vest offers a waist-cinching silhouette and a cropped construction. The medium wash is also ideal because it’ll likely pair well with a lot of different jeans, allowing you to create your Canadian tuxedo with ease.

Even if you’re not into Canadian tuxedos, a good pair of jeans like these are a must-have. This wide-leg style is great for work with a pointed-toe boot and a white T-shirt or on the weekend with sky-high platforms and a statement top.

Jorts and a Polo

If you didn’t know, jorts are back and better than ever. The cropped pants are having a major moment this summer, and I personally couldn’t be happier. While controversial, the silhouette is fun when styled the right way. I love how the above fashionista went with a cropped collared shirt and pointed-toe shoes, which added dimension to her outfit.

My younger self would be thrilled to see Abercrombie is back and better—especially when it comes to denim. Shoppers have given these shorts rave reviews, calling them “relaxed” and “figure-flattering.”

I love the pairing of a polo shirt with jorts because it blends preppy and edgy in a way that doesn’t feel forced. In addition to rocking this look at the US Open consider this for the office with a kitten heel because shorts are now work appropriate.

A Two-Piece and Flats

To me, two-pieces are the ultimate cheat code. Sets create a complete look with little to no effort. You don’t have to worry about matching or coordinating. For the US Open, go for something sleek like a button-up shirt and loose-fitting pants covered with a fun pattern. The combination looks and feels relaxed, but is also elegant and refined. Keep things calm with a pair of ballet flats or Mary Janes to emphasize a quiet luxury vibe. 

How fun and sophisticated does this H&M patterned shirt look. If you’ve been taking notes, this would pair well with bold red accessories.

The great thing about a set is that it can be broken up into separates, so really, you have multiple outfits in one. When you don’t want to pair these pants with the matching button-up shirt, go for a white T-shirt and a black blazer or a light-wash denim jacket over your shoulders.

Ballet flats are another wardrobe staple. The timeless style has been around for decades, but recently saw a resurgence after new iterations were presented on the spring/summer 2023 runways.

A White T-Shirt and a Satin Skirt

White tees are a closet staple. They’re versatile, functional, and always in style. It doesn’t take much to make a white t-shirt pop, but for the U.S. Open consider mixing aesthetics, pairing a casual white t-shirt with a dreamy satin skirt. The outfit formula screams “cool girl” and can take you from day to night. After the tournament, ditch your sneakers for a pair of kitten heels and throw on a blazer for dinner and drinks.

You can never have too many white T-shirts, and you’ll want an especially fresh one for the U.S. Open. Quince is a great retailer because their items come with an affordable price tag.

This satin skirt provides a luxe feel without the luxe cost. Shoppers say this item is “flattering” and “versatile.” The elastic waistband is another standout detail because it provides all-day comfort.
