Style file: Kim Sears

Kim Sears may not be centre court, but she’s definitely stealing the spotlight when it comes to elegant style. With the perfect balance of preppy traditionalism and strong tailoring, Sears always looks polished yet original. Over the years, Andy Murray’s wife has grown into the established fashion icon she now is!

Back in 2005, Kim’s style was a lot less refined. However, her style always showed promise due to her laid-back, effortless approach, which so many try to emulate. The boohoo-chic babe knows her best asset are her legs, and has been emphasising them since she first came to fame.

2007 was the year Kim really came into her own, grabbing media attention at the Australian Open. Although a simplistic outfit, a white crisp shirt and khaki shorts can never go wrong, especially with that tan!

By 2011, Kim was a well-established darling of British fashion, with her looks becoming increasingly refined. Many noticed her resemblance with Kate Middleton due to their glamorous but conservative style and matching perfect blow-dry. This beautiful navy dress with crochet hem detailing is not only a statement piece, but extremely wearable – a mantra that Sears seems to abide by.

The 2013 London Olympics and the Ascot proved once again that she has serious style, going for a trusty Whistles floral dress to cheer her beau along! Although florals may seem a bit predictable, the colour palette of these dresses give the flowery prints a modern twist.

The great thing about Kim’s style is the attainability: unlike many other celebrities, she embraces the high-street, mixing designer accessories with dresses such as this Zara one. A zesty yellow dress is always on trend, especially with a timeless denim jacket and Ray Bans!

Wimbledon 2014 gave everyone serious hair envy over Kim’s perfect bouffant do, paired with a classic lace LWD from Reiss, which once again showed her down-to-earth fashion sense by picking a high-street dress over something pricier.

Arguably, Kim’s greatest style history moment was her wedding on 11^th April 2015! The Jenny Packham Swarovski crystal-embellished dress divided opinion but the overall verdict was a positive one. The look was all about the detailing, with lace sleeves and the corset capturing the eye, but it was the crystal Kalmia headdress that made her outfit all the more special.
