Bright colors in outfits

It seemed like everyone was wearing neon this year at the US Open. Some outfits worked, some didn’t, as in all the shades of bright yellow that had several screaming foul!

Even Andy Murray’s mother, Judy Murray, tweeted about another British player’s ensemble:

Many blamed Nike, who put several players in the offensive yellow. Others blamed Andre Agassi, who some said inspired the original “rebel” look among several players.

Serena Williams’ subtle approach seemed to work best, incorporating flashes of neon pink threaded throughout her skirt, complimented with black (for night) and white (for day). She may not have won the championship, but she certainly won in fashion, which makes sense since she has her own clothing line.
