I wanna play tennis, too!

Look how awesome Maria Sharapova looks in her tennis outfit! Looking at her really makes me want to start playing tennis again. I really should take advantage of the tennis court by my house. If I had her dress, I'd be really motivated to play I'm sure, lol. She looks like a beautiful white butterfly.

So on August 27, the men’s and women’s first rounds of the U.S. Open commence, you know people will be paying as much attention to what the tennis players wear as to how they play. The New York Observer has tips for fans on what to wear to the games and look fashionable like the stars.

For the ladies, “Traditional country club rules always apply across the board,” Ms. Schelter suggested for women spectators. “It is different than, say, a football game because of its civil nature … history … and general aura of etiquette.”

She later offered that female fans would be well-served by wearing a classic button-down or polo shirt, long shorts hemmed just above the knee, loose pants, a nice miniskirt—which is like a tennis skirt but has a lower hem—and “perhaps a sweater thrown oh-so-perfectly over the shoulder.”

Since heels, running shoes and flip-flops are out, according to Ms. Schelter, the “eco-chic fashionista” might be interested in “soft, loosely fitting, comfortable” shoes, like the ones made by TOMS, which sends aid to children living in impoverished countries.
