Best outfit of 2008?

[vmosrafa08]

Fox sports came up with these:

Cronin: With fashion queen Maria Sharapova missing the U.S. Open and the usually daring Williams sisters dressing conservatively, it was a down year for fashion. But Bethanie Mattek pulled out an eye-popping dress during the East West Bank Classic in L.A., a blood tank top splashed with black that looked like a female's vampire cocktail dress on Halloween.

Pierce: Maria Sharapova, for seamlessly blending work and leisure through her Wimbledon warm-up jacket.

It didn't do much to help her play at the All England Club, but Sharapova's all-white business suit thing was worth a second look. It also came in handy for the many board meetings she had to attend after matches in London.

Extra points to Sharapova for sticking it to the Wimbledon organizers, who try to suppress creativity with their archaic all-white dress code rule. That's what you get for trying to stifle individuality.

and of course...

Webber: Roger Federer's unique Wimbledon ensemble.

Leave it to the stylish Swiss to look as smooth as he plays. Federer's elegant cardigan was the perfect choice for the historic All England Club. Savvy fashionistas took note of the sweater's embroidered "RF" logo and engraved buttons.

Federer had made a statement in London in the past by wearing a distinctive white blazer, but the sweater was a grand slam fashion success. Somewhere Mr. Blackwell must be smiling.

 

[Nadal_Freak]

I don't like any of those. lol

 

[vmosrafa08]

I don't like any of those. lol

Not even Federer's sweater lol?

 

[zacinnc78]

what about feds UPS style outfit oin early rounds of USO?

 

[lilycolefan]

Mattek's outfits are all ridiculously bad.

 

[gj011]

Djokovic's black and gold on TMC. I didn't like his previous outfits (green and blue/orange), but this one is very nice.

Our of these three above only Sharapova's is decent. Mattek's outfits are tacky and ugly, Federer's cardigan is pretentious and out of place.

 

[Leublu tennis]

Although I'm not a big fan of all black, including sox and shoes, Djokovic's is a lot better than his earlier ones.

 

[pound cat]

I really thought Federer would be starting a fashion trend of wearing one's pants backwards for important moments.

Way to go, Roger!!!!!!!!

Here is a related piece

2. Rafael Nadal: The world No. 1 from Majorca has a refreshingly unaffected, boyish air about him, either playing or relaxing away from the court. He has roused interest in tennis in a younger generation with his muscular physique and rambunctious style of play. His mammoth arms in his sleeveless Nike top are a sight to behold and a personal calling card. Now if only he and other players such as Juan Martin del Potro would stop wearing the bare-armed style shirt at all those indoor events. It really only belongs in the sunshine of the great outdoors.

 

[West Coast Ace]

Whatever Anna K was wearing for her WTT matches...

 

[Djokovicfan4life]

Djokovic's Miami Dolphins outfit was awesome:

 

[tacou]

I liked Gulbis' Fo attire and whatever Maria Kirilenko wore, ever.

 

[flyer]

i like this one the best as well, i also like murray's masters cup outfit

 

[Lendl and Federer Fan]

and of course...

Webber: Roger Federer's unique Wimbledon ensemble.

That sweater is awesome, where can I get one?

 

[Leublu tennis]

Try the Wimbledon clothing shop. They probably had them.

 

[vmosrafa08]

Djokovic's Miami Dolphins outfit was awesome:

That outfit is pretty cool - actually better than his Shanghai outfit in my opinion.

 

[EndLy]

Federer's madrid outfit was very nice. Black and white never fails...
but my bid goes out to Djokovic and his TMC outfit. Black and gold clothes + shoes matched the racket perfectly.

 

[miniRafa386]

federer clay court season or federer us open

 

[andrew_fernando2]

I don't like any of those. lol

wait! were you not looking for a cutt off polo shirt?!

 

[mrmo1115]

That outfit is pretty cool - actually better than his Shanghai outfit in my opinion.

I am sure that novak likes the shabghai outfit more, for some obvious reasons.

 

[jaggy]

I like Murray's Fred Perry gear and matteks makes me smile.

 

[Nadal_Freak]

Not even Federer's sweater lol?

Especially that one. He is so full of it.

 

[RCizzle65]

Federer's French Open (Summer?) Gear
Djokovic's Masters Cup outfit
Federer's Winter gear

 

[VAmazona]

Federer's cardigan is pretentious and out of place.

Really? How does that denote an air of pretentiousness? And it is far from out of place at Wimbledon. These are clothing styles that are throw backs to the earlier days.

 

[kelz]

Pierce: Maria Sharapova, for seamlessly blending work and leisure through her Wimbledon warm-up jacket.

That's the only good one so far.

Way to go, Roger!!!!!!!!

When you haul in a big one like, it doesn't matter what you wear. If Nadal were naked with nothing on in 08, Mungo, "Nadal Freak", and "Federer is boring" would still think he had the best outfit. Am I right? :wink:

 

[Lendl and Federer Fan]

Try the Wimbledon clothing shop. They probably had them.

Couldn't find it. Thanks anyway.

 

[adams_1]

I liked Gulbis' Fo attire and whatever Maria Kirilenko wore, ever.

This man speaks the truth.

Throw backs are pretentious :roll:

 

[LanceStern]

The RF logo is nice, Federer can put it anywhere he wants to. The sweater was awesome.

+ I'm a big fan of Bethanie Mattek's outfits. She says she just puts on whatever is in her closet, and they always look very nice.

+ Djokovic's Gold and Black (someone posted his picture earlier) looks extremely nice.

+ But the best goes to:

Darth Federer from the Austrailian Open (with blue).

 

[Gen]

Usually Federer's outfits are classy, but his Wimbledon cardigan made me say: Hi Granny Roger.

 

[SempreSami]

It's not really a sweater tbh, it's a cable knit cardigan with big ugly buttons.

 

[vmosrafa08]

Usually Federer's outfits are classy, but his Wimbledon cardigan made me say: Hi Granny Roger.

haha it does look like a granny sweater... although Federer can make anything look good. 200 posts FTW!

 

[Otherside]

easily Feds French Open outfit that's the best one I've ever seen on a tennis court.

 

[wta_fan]

Pierce: Maria Sharapova, for seamlessly blending work and leisure through her Wimbledon warm-up jacket.

That's the only good one so far.

Outfits that didn't even made the 4 round shouldn't count.

 

[vmosrafa08]

haha (10 char)

 

[LuckyR]

I don't know which was best (probably one of Maria's) but the worst (for lost opportunity) was Ivanovic's from Adidas.

 

[Cyan]

Djokovic's black and gold on TMC. I didn't like his previous outfits (green and blue/orange), but this one is very nice.

Our of these three above only Sharapova's is decent. Mattek's outfits are tacky and ugly, Federer's cardigan is pretentious and out of place.

He looked awesome at TMC.

i second this; it was just elitist in nature, and i do love elitist

 

[gj011]

Darth Federer is nice, but I prefer all black one from USO 2007.

 

[Emelia21]

Usually Federer's outfits are classy, but his Wimbledon cardigan made me say: Hi Granny Roger.

:shock:

I find all his outfits fit for a plonker, including his granny cardigan

 

[SempreSami]

Darth Federer is nice, but I prefer all black one from USO 2007.

It's a crap nickname though, I thought people considered him the 'good' guy in tennis.

 

[tacou]

Darth Federer is an ill nickname! He's a badass and just as skilled as Vader himself.

 

[TMCW140]

Federer's outfits were just classy-even the cardy, in a bold/random sorta way. Love the black
I thought Rafa's French was a good outfit for him-would never wear it, but suits him, and the event well.
And i guess stuff Ivanovic was wearing, but wasn't really focusing on the clothes tbh...

 

[Leublu tennis]

Pierce: Maria Sharapova, for seamlessly blending work and leisure through her Wimbledon warm-up jacket.

That's the only good one so far.

Looks very pretty but seems like a lot of work to button all those buttons.

 

[oneleggedcardinal]

I liked Federer's at this years USO and Djokovic's as well (in fact, I don't think I've read anything negative about it).

Meh, they're all looking better than me on the courts.

 

[Babolast]

 

[Nadal_Freak]

Now that is a cool look. Agassi in early 90's like. None of this dressy junk lol

 

[norbac]

Djoker's edge tee's were very nice, the ones he wore at Wimbledon, USO were cool too. And his Shanghai outfit. Man, Nole has style! Fed's polo's for most of the year were nice too and his cardigan. Rafa's Roland Garros outfit was awesome too. And Murray's FO/Master's Cup outfit.
