Women welcome change to all-white Wimbledon dress code... [View all]
... in bid to lessen anxiety for players on their period
Players have been required to wear white at the event since 1877, and the dress code rules are extremely strict.
Off-white and cream are not allowed, and "a single trim of colour" — no more than a centimetre — is permitted on the neckline or sleeve cuff.
But from now on, women will be able to make a subtle departure from the Wimbledon whites.
In a change announced late last year, female players now have the option of wearing dark-coloured undershorts, provided they are no longer than their shorts or skirt.
