Tis the Season of the Neon, fa-la-la-la-la…
Did Nike telephone Adidas before they designed their Spring Tennis Collection this year? Or perhaps it was the other way around…but much too our chagrin, many players are sporting glaringly-bright styles! Those of you who would ask, “How much is too much?” have obviously not seen our first-place pick for worst-dressed this year. While we love the way that Jo-Willie fills out any style he chooses to wear, this ensemble is just TOO much! One, simple change would have landed Jo-Willie at the top of our Best-Dressed List: A bright, white shirt with small, colorful details.
1st Prize!

Yeah...maybe it was Adidas taking the lead on the neon-inspired styles this year. It’s a shame we have to purchase heavy-duty sunglasses to get through the 2012 Grand Slam season! Thankfully…he went out early.

While this K-Swiss top fortunately features only a bit of the neon, the overall effect is busy – to the extreme! Are there two designers working for the company this year? We loved the Bryan brothers’ K-Swiss choice – look for them in our “Best-Dressed” feature coming soon!
5th Prize!
