Edit – after seeing the vest, I gotta say: CAPITAL F-A-I-L

The vest is very silly and it has to go asap.

Ok, just caught a glimpse of the outfit on tv. The jacket, MAYBE … but that waistcoat has GOT to go.

What I *really* think of this outfit:

On anyone else, I’d say simply “overkill”. Too catwalk, too metro, too Tom Cruise’s white uniform in “A Few Good Men”. All that AND a golden monogram.

But on Roger? It looks pretty great.

What I think about this outfit *naughty version 1*:

“Why, thank you for bringing my luggage, kid… let’s see. Mmm, how about you come back for you tip here in my room, say… around midnight?”

What I think about this outfit *naughty version 2 – In the navy*

“Who knew Switzerland had a navy!? And such a fine one. Do they take civilians in their boats? Because I surely want to be in this one…”

I love it!!!! It’s just too fashion for some traditional people. It’s fine in all. Looking forward to see it mixed up with shoes and shorts.

For example, to support my statement above, the impression that a military uniform gives is one of tradition and excellence, without being dressed considerably “old-fashioned”, even though, their uniforms haven’t changed very much over the years; and yet, no one thinks “old-fashioned” when looking at them…I hope this is clear enough…

It’s awful. I hope no one ever wears something like this again… or at least not for another 700 years.

i kinda love it….military esque.Really Awesome.Roger’s fashion sense is really gearing into another level.Fearless and Stylish and that Roger Federer could only pull off.

Sorry, I forgot to point out that in order to fit into the “Wimbledon theme”, Roger Federer does not need to dress old-fashioned to be traditional.

Thank-you…(again)

Hi! With all due respect to everyone that thinks this isn’t an “appropriate” look for Roger Federer during Wimbledon, I think you are overlooking just how fitting it actually is for him to carry such style during this tournament.

The jacket resembles a “military” style that embodies elegance, sophistacation, and yet it is very simple, which is very fitting; because, not only is he “elegance” pesonified (regardless what he wears), but most importantly, it soldierly reveals his fighting spirit that has surfaced more than ever during the French Open. Moreover, it exposes his personality as well, since it exposes perfection, strength, slickness, intelligence, solidness, and focus; very much what the members of the military organizations represent. If this doesn’t embody Roger Federer, I don’t know what does.

Equally important, the design, at the same time, is very simple, generating the approachable and traditional Roger everyone knows. What is more traditional than the military???

Roger Federer’s Wimbledon 2009 outfit, contemplates a more threatening force than anything he ever wore at the previous Wimbledon tournaments, which configures right with how relaxed he feels after winning the French Open this year, and “if the past is any guide, a relaxed Federer is the most dangerous Federer” (Wimbledon Preview, Tennis.com).

It is a very distinguished ensemble, just as Roger Federer is among the other players.

Thank-you…

He started dropshots in medium form under Jose. He took it to a new level this year, but the focus definitely started with Higueras.

It’s the little things…

p.s. I like the jacket.

Hi Natasha!

Totally agree with the short skirts! They need to rock the shorts or the classic tennis dresses. Much more flattering

I’m so with you on the shorter shorts for the guys! Roger has great legs – why not show them off?

Someday we’re going to be in charge – then watch out!!!

i’m trying to imagine him (Daddy to be), holding the new baby in this getup.
altho he looks lovely, i dont get the street clothes thing-remember Agassis cut-offs!
frankly i’d rather see these boys in the connors/mac/borg short shorts
now that would be fun, old school. And let me say while i’m at it when are the ladies going to stop wearing the crotch length dresses/skirts -their game would be different if they wore NORMAL attire SHORTS-like they do when they practice. Sorry.

I actually kinda like it, but i can see how everyone thinks its too fashion forward for a an event with such old traditions like Wimbledon.

I think it looks more sci-fi male nurse in this photo
