Today, the 2015 French Open returns with a cadre of our favorite tennis stars and their signature sun-shielding visors. Beyond its practical purposes, the aerodynamic accessory has emerged in recent years as a personal beauty and style statement for many of the sport’s best players: Simona Halep’s architectural brim is typically accompanied by a topknot and triumphant fist clench, Ana Ivanovic’s brightly colored variation frames a slick single braid, and Venus Williams’s streamlined shape encircles a network of intricate pulled back twists.
Off the court, as the temperature starts to climb, we’d be remiss to not take a cue from the pulled-together cool of our favorite tennis powerhouses, whose hair remains resolutely neat even as they slam 100mph serves across the net. Which has us wondering: Could the everyday tennis visor offer up the season’s easiest—and most versatile—bad-hair-day fix?
Channeling the urban athleticism of the spring runways while walking the line between whimsy and utility, a low-angled visor seems made for throwing on over last night’s blowout in the city. A day of beach volleyball, on the other hand, demands slicked-back, humidity-proof hair and a monochromatic visor to match black-and-white swimwear. For evening, what could be easier than an abbreviated brim and a swingy ponytail, paired with embellished drop earrings and an expertly coordinated column dress? Here, four hair and visor pairings to take you from the court to cocktails. Game, set, match.
