Top 8 moments in Tennis Fashion
| |
| |
8.
1987- Chris Evert stopped her match in the US Open when her diamond bracelet fell off- giving the name "Tennis Bracelet" to the now popular item and caused an immediate jewelry craze & shopping frenzy.
7.
2005 to 2006- Ralph Lauren becomes apparel sponsor of US Open, designs new uniforms for Wimbledon officials, ball boys and ball girls.
6.
Bjorn Borg wears short shorts and color matches entire outfits- headband & socks included. The look is championed throughout the 80's and by competitors (like John McEnroe).
5.
1890's- wearing all white in Wimbledon became commonplace (rumor has it to conceal sweat stains).
4.
1920's - Lili De Alvarez wore the first "Skort"- custom made by designer Elsa Schiaparelli.
3.
2000's- Venus & Serena Williams capture attention (and titles) with their frequent daring fashion, sometimes shocking, always unique court fashion - especially Serena's 2002 US Open leather-ish catsuit.
2.
1990's- Andre Agassi brings neon, his signature mullet and spandex to the court and influences a decade of athletic wear- on and off the court.
1.
1949- Gertrud Moran wore lace-trimmed panties under her white dress to Wimbledon, designed by Ted Tinling. Scandal ensues. He then introduced a color trimmed dress, which caused further scandal, forcing Wimbledon to impose the all-white rule for good, and banned Tinling's creation of a gold panty for Karol Fagero from being worn in the tournament. |

A HUGE Thank You
to the volunteers of Open Closet Night at Perspectives Family Center
Your donations of time or product made a difference!
On Weds., May 16th, a pop-up boutique was created (in one day!) at Perspectives Family Center from generous donations of clothes, accessories and shoes. The women involved in the recovery program received outfits, styling assistance and "shopped" the boutique created by the wardrobe experts of styledlook, employees of STYLEDLIFE and special volunteers.
Tim Creagan shared this touching moment:
"I was standing at the mirror, with one of our guests from Perspectives. She was wearing an amazing outfit donated by a friend of STYLEDLIFE. The woman started to cry and told me that these clothes make her look like the person she now knows she is. She said that she is going home and throwing away all the clothes that made her look like the woman she used to be."

Men's Summer of Color
It's never been easier to work in new colors to a man's wardrobe like it will be for this summer season. Show off your personality by choosing accessories with color or texture that may be out of your comfort zone and enjoy the compliments you'll soon be receiving.
The important color for men? It's Green. Green goes beautifully with brown, feels fresh and appropriate for spring and comes from the blue family- the most popular color for men. Go prep with bright hues of green or keep it edgy with dark tones, like forest green.
 
Blue is still a favorite go-to color for men because it looks handsome on everyone. Positive and calming, blue is the easiest to accentuate with other colors- like yellow, orange, green or pink. Go with pastel hues in summer for a clean and fresh look to this well-liked shade.
Khaki, camel, burlap, tan, or bark - whatever hue you choose, it implies adventure. Rugged yet comfortable, it's easy to accent with colors in the carnelian family- from pale orange to brick red. Wearing this classic color lets you be serious without taking yourself too seriously. Very much like STYLEDLIFE.
