The story behind the look

Lavender patterning runs around the collar and shoulders of a loose white polo. Plain white shorts keep the rest of the outfit restrained, with small sponsor marks adding the only other colour. The clothing brand has not been confirmed.

At 37, Navratilova reached the Wimbledon singles final for the last time. The reference photograph records her backhand against Conchita Martínez on 2 July 1994; Martínez won in three sets.
