Australian Open Style: The Good, the Bad & the Weird What on Earth Is Going on With This Year's Australian Open Fits? Getty Images / Matt King Those of us working from home to the comforting background grunts of 2021's Australian Open have been treated to plenty of decent tennis this week (Kyrgios taking out Humbert in five sets, what a match!) Play aside, there's also been the usual onslaught of off-the-wall sportswear to chew over. Yohji Yamamoto stans and those who subscribe to an all-black wardrobe, look away now. Dubbed "The Happy Slam," Melbourne is a tournament where players don their brightest outfits in a nod to the country's sunny season (who can forget Andre Agassi's "Pirate" bandana? Or more recently, when Italy's Fabio Foggini looked as if he had just been served through a BAPE store?) There's a boisterous-yet-amicable atmosphere in the Rod Laver Arena that filters down to the court — like a football match with middle-income families in place of lads doing bumps in the toilet. Sartorially speaking, I've always thought that if Wimbledon is the sport's answer to Bruce Boyer — traditional, classy, timeless — then the Open is the irreverent line-rat decked to the nines in retina blinding streetwear.
