Venus Williams wears wool at US Open
Clothing label Luar has worked with merino wool promotions body The Woolmark Company to develop clothing for Venus Williams to wear in matches at the 2025 US Open.
The collection includes a black, knitted merino wool-rich mesh dress, which the partners describe as being “crafted for on-court performance”. There is also a jacket to complement the dress off court.
Luar designer Raúl López said the tennis star had chosen to wear wool at the tournament because of the fibre’s natural performance qualities. “This makes it ideal for athletes,” he said, “while its elegance translates seamlessly into fashion.”
Woolmark managing director, John Williams, commented: “Seeing Venus Williams bring this outfit to life on the court proves what we’ve always known. Merino wool doesn’t just belong in performance wear, it excels in it.”
