Tennis fans are serving at this year's US Open. We're talking about their fashion, of course.

Attendees have been photographed walking throughout the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in New York for the past two weeks, wearing standout ensembles and luxury timepieces.

Here are the best fashion looks we spotted on the ground.

Neutral shades and baby blue are having a moment.

Tan sets are especially popular right now. One man wore his with a white T-shirt and a brown belt. You might also spot tons of baby-blue polos. A woman sported a tiered version of the top over a ruffled skirt.

Both attendees completed their looks with dark sunglasses and sneakers.

Tiny Hermès belts are making big statements.

The $735 belts are often extremely thin with delicate, gold H-shaped buckles — so you might miss them. One attendee wore hers with a black skirt, white tank top, tan flats, and a plum-colored sweater tied around her shoulders.

Some attendees have added Polo sweaters over their shoulders to elevate their looks.

A sweater on the shoulders adds a preppy twist to a US Open look. One group chose Polo sweaters with green-trimmed sleeves, adding a pop of color to their looks.

Accessories are also taking sweaters to the next level.
