Wimbledon Style Inspiration: Sunglasses Worn by Tennis Champions

The Wimbledon Championships return to the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club in London from 29 June to 12 July 2026, once again bringing together the world's best players for the oldest and most prestigious tournament in tennis. With its immaculate grass courts, strict all-white dress code, strawberries and cream, and Royal Box, Wimbledon remains one of Britain's most iconic sporting occasions.

 

From Wimbledon Champions to Everyday Style

While the tournament itself is steeped in tradition, today's champions continue to influence fashion long after they've left Centre Court. Away from Wimbledon, many have developed distinctive off-duty styles, choosing eyewear that reflects their personality, lifestyle, and even their partnerships with luxury brands.

Inspired by some of the most successful Wimbledon champions of recent years, here are eight eyewear looks that translate effortlessly from the tennis world into everyday life.

 

Roger Federer 🇨🇭

Wimbledon Champion: 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2009, 2012, 2017

Few athletes embody quiet luxury quite like Roger Federer. The Swiss legend has long favoured timeless tailoring, understated colours, and impeccable craftsmanship; qualities that naturally extend to his eyewear.

His longstanding collaboration with Oliver Peoples perfectly reflects that philosophy. The 2025 release Oliver Peoples Mr. Federer II OV5592S continues the partnership with refined proportions, premium materials, and an elegance that never feels overdesigned.

Rather than following seasonal trends, Federer's style is built around pieces that remain relevant year after year. If your wardrobe leans towards classic tailoring, knitwear, and neutral tones, his approach to sunglasses is one worth emulating.

 

Iga Świątek 🇵🇱

Wimbledon Champion: 2026

Iga Świątek's personal style mirrors her game: composed, practical, and refreshingly uncomplicated.

She often gravitates towards lightweight, versatile pieces that suit both training and everyday life. Recently, she was spotted wearing the Oakley Meta HSTN OW8002 on social media, highlighting another growing trend among athletes: smart eyewear.

By combining everyday sunglasses with built-in technology, smart glasses offer features such as hands-free photography, music playback, and voice assistance without sacrificing style.

For those looking to embrace modern eyewear while keeping their look understated, Świątek proves that simplicity and innovation can go hand in hand.

 

Jannik Sinner 🇮🇹

Wimbledon Champion: 2025

Italian star Jannik Sinner has quickly become one of tennis' most recognisable faces, not only through his performances but also as a Gucci ambassador. His off-court wardrobe reflects the same minimalist approach that defines his game: clean silhouettes, understated luxury, and carefully chosen accessories.

In Gucci's Holiday 2024/2025 campaign, Sinner wore the black Gucci GG1735S sunglasses, demonstrating how a simple rectangular frame can make a confident statement without feeling loud.

Fashion Eyewear still stocks the Gucci GG1735S with just one last piece available. Minimalist frames like these pair effortlessly with everything from casual knitwear to tailored jackets, making them an easy everyday choice.

 

Coco Gauff 🇺🇸

Wimbledon Champion: 2023

Coco Gauff represents a new generation of athletes whose influence stretches well beyond sport. Alongside her achievements on court, she has become an ambassador for Miu Miu x New Balance Tennis Capsule Collection, further cementing her place within the fashion world. Earlier this summer, Coco was spotted wearing an upcoming white pair of Miu Miu sunglasses.

 

She has also been seen wearing the Miu Miu SMU11W in black, a versatile style that balances sporty confidence with modern luxury.

Her approach demonstrates how performance-inspired wardrobes can comfortably sit alongside contemporary fashion, making statement eyewear feel surprisingly wearable every day.

 

Novak Djokovic 🇷🇸

Wimbledon Champion: 2011, 2014, 2015, 2018, 2019, 2021, 2022

Novak Djokovic rarely follows short-lived trends. Instead, he frequently chooses classic round-shaped frames, often paired with lightly tinted lenses that soften bright conditions while adding a relaxed feel.

During the Formula 1 Grand Prix of Barcelona-Catalunya, Djokovic was spotted wearing a pair of Moscot Militzen round sunglasses that perfectly suited his timeless aesthetic.

 

While we don't stock that exact model, the newly arrived Tom Ford Prescott-02 TF1331 captures a very similar silhouette and overall impression.

Rounded frames remain one of the easiest styles to wear, offering a softer alternative to angular sunglasses while working particularly well on square and oval face shapes.

 

Emma Raducanu 🇬🇧

Wimbledon Champion: 2024

Emma Raducanu continues to represent a fresh take on British fashion. Her wardrobe combines clean tailoring with youthful statement pieces, often incorporating bold cat-eye sunglasses that add personality without overwhelming an outfit.

If you like Emma's fashion-forward approach, the Alexander McQueen AM0299S offers a similarly confident silhouette, pairing sharp lines with contemporary styling.

It's proof that cat-eye sunglasses don't always have to feel vintage—they can be modern, versatile, and effortlessly wearable too.

 

Carlos Alcaraz 🇪🇸

Wimbledon Champion: 2023, 2024

Unlike many of his contemporaries, Carlos Alcaraz rarely wears sunglasses in public. When he does, he tends to favour understated designs rather than bold fashion statements. One round metal frame he has been spotted wearing remains unidentified, but its timeless silhouette continues to appeal.

For a similar look, the iconic Ray-Ban Round Metal RB3447 in Gunmetal offers the same effortless aesthetic.

Simple, lightweight, and endlessly versatile, it's an excellent example of why classic designs remain best sellers decade after decade.

 

Aryna Sabalenka 🇧🇾

Wimbledon Champion: 2025

Aryna Sabalenka brings confidence to everything she wears. Her fashion choices often embrace oversized silhouettes, striking shapes, and statement accessories that naturally command attention.

A perfect match for that personality is the black Gucci GG2152S, a bold frame she wore at the Australian Open 2026 that turns heads just as confidently as Sabalenka herself.

Statement sunglasses work particularly well when paired with otherwise simple outfits, allowing the eyewear to become the focal point without feeling overdone.

 

Final Thoughts

Winning Wimbledon takes talent, discipline, and years of dedication, but these champions also demonstrate that personal style extends far beyond Centre Court.

From Roger Federer's timeless quiet luxury and Jannik Sinner's Italian minimalism to Coco Gauff's fashion-forward confidence and Aryna Sabalenka's statement-making approach, each player offers a different perspective on everyday eyewear.

Whether your style is classic, sporty, bold, or contemporary, taking inspiration from Wimbledon champions is an easy way to build a sunglasses collection that feels both practical and personal—long after the final trophy has been lifted.
