WHAT TO WEAR: WIMBLEDON EDITION

What to wear to Wimbledon - The Oldstrom style guide.

Chic, stylish, smart, effortlessly cool- this is the vibe we would want to give off if we were fortunate enough to be court-side next week.

If you have managed to snag yourself a ticket and you want to be the best-dressed spectator this Wimbledon season, then you will definitely want to take a look at the Oldstrom style guide below.

Although there is no specific dress code for women at Wimbledon, smart dress is encouraged meaning a suit would be a go-to choice. We would also recommend sticking to a light and airy colour palette.

This Dea Kudibal combination: Zinsa jacket, Carita trousers and Cristana shirt is smart, clean and crisp with a subtle and cool twist.

Hopefully, we will continue to be blessed with gorgeous sunny weather for the event, in which case you will need to plan your outfit accordingly.

A linen jumpsuit, dress or set will be light and comfortable for a day outside in the heat, while a big pair of sunglasses can double up as a sun protector and as a style statement.

A blazer is always recommended for any event in the UK, just in case the temperature drops… and no one does classic blazers better than Sand Copenhagen!

Complete your look with fun, summery accessories like the Ocean Pearl Earrings from the Caroline Svedbom Resort collection, along with a big stack of matching bracelets of course.

THE AW24 SEASON WRAPPED

Here are our key takeaways after completing another busy selling season. This is Autumn/ Winter 2024 wrapped!

THE KEY COLOURS:

Across all of our brands’ collections, we noticed a repeating theme of rich tones of chocolate brown- an easy colour to style and a bit more interesting and elegant than navy or black, we are happy to see that brown is back.

After rising in popularity at the end of 2023, it also seems that the pop of red is here to stay! This season the tone of red is more rusty and very Autumn / Fall appropriate.

Finally, we started to see some playful pops of pastel within all the dark wintery tones. Mint being a big player, as well as cool tones of blue, yellow and pink. We believe this will help the collections to seamlessly transition into the SS25 season.

THE DESIGN FEATURES:

In the Autumn/ Winter collections the bow continues to reign supreme and if you ask Mei MeiJ then they would say the bigger the better! We love this super cute trend and we are glad to see it featured in new and interesting ways.

But if bows aren’t your thing then maybe corsages and big, fabric flowers are. You can find variations of this design feature in the AW24 collections from Dea Kudibal, Mei MeiJ and Bitte Kai Rand.

These little design accessories are a great add-on to all the skirts and tailoring that seem to be the most popular styles of clothing across the collections.

THE BESTSELLERS:

Accessories in general were a strong category for us this season. This is an area that we have focussed in on recently- finding new, premium brands that we know our customers will love. In AW24 we added GLAS Eyewear and Edblad Jewellery to our Oldstrom portfolio and due to great margins and unique, reactive product offerings, these new brands seem to have been a big hit!

In the world of footwear, the ballet pump continues to be a winning style. We loved how Kennel & Schmenger took this trend and continued to play with it in interesting ways: from animal print and tweed variations, to stud embellishments and pointed toes.

Finally, we couldn’t round up an Autumn/ Winter season without speaking about the outerwear. Due to warmer climates and rainy forecasts becoming the norm, customers are opting for lighter jackets rather than heavy, padded winter coats. The Monsun from BRGN continues to be our most popular shape- a stylish, flattering option that will also keep you happy and dry no matter the weather.
