Serena Williams spoke in an interview with Fashionista recently about the thought processes behind her outfits.
Williams said that from her perspective she has to think about it from a fashion and practicality perspective.
She also revealed the fate of her outfits saying that she keeps one or two but barring that, she tends to donate them to charity or even drive herself to the shelters to donate them and it is the same with jewellery and if she wins with it on, she tends to keep it on for a while.
"There are guidelines in tennis as to what you can wear.
I always say, 'OK, people probably see me the most on the tennis court. So how do I look my best while I'm sweating and running and grunting and being in dire pain at times? What have I not done?' Which is getting more narrow because I feel like I've done almost everything.
I start from that point of view. "Then, I look at different fabrics and how they perform, how they do under sweet — heat and sweat — sweet is like a mixture of those words [laughs]! I always try to keep one or two of [the outfits after I wear for a match], but the rest, I usually either donate to my charity or if I'm home, I drive it to a women's shelter.
I always pick out my jewelry [for a match] a long time in advance because I always practice in them for at least a month to make sure they're not flopping in my face or twisting on my fingers. So it's my own like testing process and then it goes from there.
Usually, if I win in something, I'll wear it for a little bit. I've always worn heart necklaces. At one point, I wore a circle. It was weird, but that was a gift. Those are pieces that are always cherished.
