[quote=Anonymous]Lucky you! You'll have a great time!
I have been to Wimbledon several times and these are my tips:
- Dress for comfort. Especially shoes. It's fun to wander around the "outside" courts where you can get really close to the action. Even getting to the show courts requires considerable walking up and down stairs. Most women there seem to wear (smart) plimsoles/trainers or wedge heels.
- Unless you are a guest in the AELTC members' area, you don't have to be super-smart. People in the Debenture or corporate pavilions also tend to be a little bit more dressed up than the general public, but anyone who looks like they made too much of an effort stands out (for the wrong reasons).
- Check out where your seats are. Some can be in full sun all day. If you're there on a sunny day you will definitely want a (straw) hat. Don't go for a really big one though - the people sitting behind won't appreciate that. 
- Alternatively, if your seat is likely to be in the shade (eg, high up towards the roof), you might find a light cardigan or jacket useful.
- Don't worry about a statement purse. A good-sized (but not too large) tote is useful to carry a water bottle, snack, program, suncream etc.
- You'll see all styles there from jeans to silk dresses. But most women wear smart casual - cotton dresses, or tailored pants. Dress as you would for a family lunch in a restaurant.

And please come back to this thread and tell us how your day was!
