Calling all tennis fans! The US Open is officially here, which means that over the next few weeks, you’ll see plenty of pleated skirts, sporty polos, branded Open hats, and maybe even a racket or two on the streets of New York—especially on the 7 train heading to Arthur Ashe Stadium. While dressing up in your preppiest outfits is always fun, it might be a bit predictable. Don’t worry, we’ve come up with another way to show your support for the game. How about this: why not wear some bright lime green, just like the fuzzy balls being hit back and forth on the court? Not only has this eye-catching color been a favorite among street style fans for a few years now (seen everywhere from Copenhagen to New York), but it’s also one of the most fashion-forward ways to stand out in the crowd. It’s definitely a surefire way to catch Alcaraz’s attention. Check out some lime green inspiration from our favorite street style shots below.
