What is the Dress Code for Queen’s Club During the HSBC Championships 2025?

The HSBC Championships at Queen’s Club is one of the most prestigious grass-court tournaments on the ATP Tour. As a key warm-up for Wimbledon, it attracts top tennis players, celebrities and fans who appreciate the tradition, heritage and style the event is known for. If you're planning to attend the HSBC Championships 2025, dressing appropriately is important—not only to match the occasion but also to make the most of the experience. Here’s everything you need to know about the expected dress code and how to prepare for your day at Queen’s Club.

Does Queen’s Club Have a Dress Code?

Yes. The dress code at Queen’s Club is well established and varies depending on where you are attending:

• General Admission – Smart casual is recommended.
• Hospitality Areas – Smart or business casual attire is expected.
• Members’ Enclosure – Formal or business wear is required.

While the atmosphere is less strict than Wimbledon’s famous "all white" rules for players, Queen’s Club maintains a refined standard for guests, particularly those enjoying hospitality lounges or private suites.

What to Wear at the HSBC Championships 2025

For Men

• Collared shirts or smart polo shirts
• Tailored chinos, trousers, or smart shorts
• Lightweight blazers or jackets for hospitality areas
• Smart shoes or dressy loafers (avoid casual trainers or flip-flops)

A relaxed summer look is fine for general areas, but in hospitality, it's wise to err on the side of formal.

For Women

• Elegant summer dresses, tailored trousers with blouses, or smart separates
• Lightweight cardigans or blazers if needed
• Comfortable but stylish shoes (flats, smart sandals, wedges)

For hospitality areas, chic and polished outfits are preferred. Heels are optional but not recommended for walking across lawns.

What Should You Avoid Wearing?

Even though the HSBC Championships has a relatively relaxed atmosphere compared to Wimbledon, there are a few important don’ts, especially in hospitality areas:

• Ripped jeans, denim shorts, or distressed clothing
• Tracksuits, football shirts, hoodies, or athletic wear
• Casual flip-flops, sliders, or gym trainers
• Clothing with large logos, slogans, or offensive designs

Hospitality lounges such as Love Fifteen and the Roof Garden require guests to maintain a smart appearance throughout the day.

Tips for Dressing Smart at Queen’s Club

• Layer wisely: British summer weather is famously unpredictable. Bring a lightweight jacket or cardigan.
• Comfort counts: If you’ll be walking on lawns, opt for wedges or flats rather than stilettos.
• Sunglasses and hats: Stylish but functional accessories for sunny days.

Guests attending hospitality areas should plan for the weather but still maintain the event’s polished tone.

What About Colour Rules?

There’s no mandatory colour scheme at Queen’s Club (unlike Wimbledon’s strict white-on-white for players). However, many guests naturally choose elegant summer shades—think navy, beige, white, light blues and pastels—which feel right for the setting. A smart, clean outfit in light or muted tones will always look appropriate.
