Introducing the Cici and Celine
Coming Soon: Our lightest engineered knit to date.
The CiCi top and Celine skirt introduce something entirely new for Williams Athletic Club.
Designed in our lightest signature monogrammed knit to date, the set was created to feel weightless, breathable, and effortless in motion. Athletic at its core, but elevated in the way it looks, feels, and moves through the day.
A loose-fitting waist-length top paired with an easy pull-on skirt, the CiCi and Celine take a different approach to performance dressing. Lightweight enough for the hottest summer rounds, polished enough for everything after.
There’s a shift happening in the way women dress for movement.
The old categories, activewear, golfwear, tenniswear, travelwear, feel increasingly outdated because most women are no longer dressing for a single moment in their day. They’re dressing for everything around it too.
A walk turns into coffee. Pilates turns into errands. A quick range session becomes lunch with friends. The lines continue to blur between sport, travel, social life, and everyday dressing.
The CiCi and Celine were designed with that reality in mind.
Not as another matching set, but as a more considered answer to what women are actually reaching for in warm weather.
At Williams Athletic Club, we’ve always believed performance should begin with the fabric. Not the marketing around it.
Many brands in the athletic space default to nylon or polyester because they’re associated with movement. The issue is rarely the fiber itself. It’s how it’s being used, the weight, the construction, the formulation, the finish.
For the CiCi and Celine, we developed our lightest engineered open knit to date. Breathable, moisture wicking, and incredibly lightweight, but still structured enough to feel elevated rather than overly technical.
Then we layered in the WAC monogram throughout the knit itself, allowing the fabric to do two things at once: create visual texture while also improving airflow and movement.
That balance, where engineering meets aesthetics, is where we think the best products live.
The silhouette was equally intentional.
The idea actually began by observing how women already dress today. Sports bras and shorts have become the modern uniform for everything from yoga and pilates to walking, traveling, and casual weekends. We didn’t want to fight that shift. We wanted to build around it.
So CiCi and Celine were designed as the next layer.
Something you can throw over the Isla Bra and Heather Short and instantly feel ready for wherever the rest of the day takes you.
Golf. Tennis. Pickleball. A flight to Nice. Lunch after a morning walk.
The beauty of the set is in its versatility.
The knit packs down small enough to fit into even the smallest bag and comes out ready to wear without wrinkling. It’s light enough for humid summer rounds and breathable enough for long European afternoons. The top can be worn tucked, half tucked, or loose depending on how you move.
The pleated skirt was designed to hang cleanly and flatteringly, without stiffness or volume. Even the waistband was reconsidered. A slimmer waistband with generous elasticity allows women to wear it higher or lower on the waist depending on preference, something taller women especially appreciated during fittings.
And despite the openness of the knit, the fabric sits away from the body in a way that feels effortless rather than revealing. Pair it with a tonal bra for a quieter look, or contrast it with color if that’s more your style.
What we love most about CiCi and Celine is that it doesn’t ask women to change how they already live.
It simply meets them there.
And while the two were designed to work together, they were never intended to only be worn as a set. The CiCi pairs effortlessly with denim, tailored shorts, or over activewear, while the Celine works just as well with fitted knits, polos, or an oversized button-down. Built for versatility, designed to move easily through the rest of your wardrobe.
