While everyone else is watching the court, we’re watching the stands.

If you hadn't already guessed from the endless stream of stories taking over your feed, the U.S. Open is officially in full swing. We hit Flushing Meadows bright and early on the 31st to check out the action. While sports media agencies are locked into the match stats, we are focused on reporting back the best outfits so you can get some match-day fashion inspiration.
Since the tournament collides directly with New York Fashion Week this year, the street style is at an absolute all-time high. From fresh Ralph Lauren tennis collection sweaters to unexpected sock-and-heel combos, here are our favorite outfits of the day to copy for a afternoon of sipping on Honey Deuces.
Fashion moves in the street before it moves online, and we're there to document it. Our team has boots on the ground in the coolest places around the world, tracking what people are actually wearing. Real people, real outfits. That's what makes OOTD.com the go-to source for outfit inspiration.
You can’t talk about U.S. Open style without talking about Ralph Lauren!
Madeline leans into quintessential court style in a piece straight from the new Ralph Lauren tennis collection—styling a chunky graphic RL knit sweater over a crisp white mini skirt. Beside her, Rylee styles a white mini dress (which she cut just that morning!) with fun wedge heels, tossing a light navy Ralph Lauren knit over her shoulders and adding a mini gold Ralph Lauren purse as the final touch.
If you're looking for an outfit formula that looks high-effort without feeling stuffy, a structured button-down paired with a pleated mini skirt is the ultimate cheat code.
Sio and Rachel demonstrate how to execute tenniscore with a very NYC touch. Sio pairs an oversized light blue button-down with a white crochet mini skirt and a black Fendi purse. Rachel coordinates in a striped button-down over a black mini skirt. My favorite detail was Sio pairing ribbed baby blue leg warmers with cream kitten heels to give traditional tenniscore a fun fashion refresh.
When in doubt, a white mini dress for a day match in the sun will simply never go wrong. The secret to making it feel stylish comes down to your shoe choice.
Corinne keeps it classic in a fitted white mini dress, draping a baby pink sweater over her chest and elevating the fit with white tie-up wedge sandals and a matching pink mini purse. Eden goes the boots-in-the-summer route, styling her white mini dress with tan suede boots to give the feminine silhouette an extra flair.
For those who prefer tailored separates over sporty dresses, crisp lines and ballet flats are the way to go.
Kayla steps out in a sporty-chic look, pairing a black mini bubble skirt with a striped tee, dark sunglasses, and a bright blue tote bag. It’s the kind of outfit that seamlessly translates from taking in an afternoon match at Flushing Meadows to heading straight downtown for dinner.
Violet serves up major inspiration for a day at the courts, putting a fresh New York spin on tennis style.
She pairs low-waisted light-wash jeans with a Vivienne Westwood tee, a retro mini bag, and the perfect pair of plaid high heels that give the casual denim an unexpected, high-fashion edge. It’s playful, nostalgic, and proves that you don't need to default to traditional tennis whites to look right at home at the U.S. Open.
When stepping out in a group, coordinating clean neutral tones is always a winning strategy.
Brooke, Simone, and Chloe serve a masterclass in off-duty tournament style. Chloe wears a fitted white ruched mini dress with a dark sweater draped over her shoulders and classic white slides. Simone and Brooke coordinate in sleek sets, fun ballet flats, and oversized sunglasses.
New York Fashion Week might technically start next week, but if these outfits are any indicator, the city's fashion scene has already officially kicked off. Whether you're heading to Flushing Meadows as a die-hard fan or you're just there for Honey Deuces with the girls, getting dressed-up is a non-negotiable.
