We went status-symbol spotting at the US Open. Here’s what we found.

Blue jeans are out, and white jeans are in.

Monochrome outfits are everywhere.

The simpler your Rolex, the better.

The baseball cap of choice comes from Celine.

Trader Joe’s tote bags have made their way to the US Open.

The US Open is the place to show off Patek Philippe watches.

One man wore a $71,643 World Time Flyback Chronograph timepiece with a steel dial and a brown leather bracelet.

The same goes for Vacheron Constantin timepieces.

An Overseas Chronograph in steel was spotted at the US Open. The watch, which sells for more than $37,000, had a black leather strap and a stainless steel bezel.

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.

Scarves are being worn as belts and bag accessories.

A woman at the sporting event tied a colorful scarf around the handles of her yellow Prada purse, adding a contrast of color to her tan skirt, white sweater, and red top.

Polo Ralph Lauren, one of the event’s sponsors, is also a fashion status symbol.

Attendees have been photographed wearing everything from the brand’s hats to its jackets and polo shirts. Some have even worn multiple at the same time.

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.

One attendee added large silver brooches to her cardigan to make it feel glitzier. Her hat, sunglasses, and neck scarf added to the ensemble.
