The 1970s brought more to the tennis world than oversized collars and incredibly short shorts. When Billie Jean King won her Wimbledon Title in 1975, she was wearing a white outfit with a blue floral pattern on the bottom. The matching sweater brings the entire outfit together.

King’s most famous match came against one of the boys. Eager to prove that women were just as good as men she played a match against Bobby Riggs and won. Her victory was immortalized in the movie Battle of the Sexes with Emma Stone playing her.
