[quote=Anonymous][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!

Thank you! I didn’t think about the position of the sun nor navigating stairs. We will be down low so I need to look and see which side. I won’t have access to the members’ area but I think we will be in both the debenture and corporate areas. A dress is sounding like a good idea, and I’m working on a smart pants option in case the weather is grim. If it’s wet I will definitely want to work around nice looking sneakers because I hate the feeling of wet sandals or melty flats.

I love watching matches on the outside courts at the US Open and will be at Wimbledon during the early days so there will be tons of outside court action. I’m very much hoping I can shake off some of my work obligations and/or convince a handful of colleagues to haunt the outside courts early with me to maximize our tennis. I can’t wait to see the courts and players up close![/quote]
