10.  Blue Dress

Our last pick for this event is this piece by Marc Jacobs. For Polo events, it is a good idea to choose dresses with sleeves as you will be out in the open air in a large field. Ensure you keep warm as the sun sets towards the end of the day and take a shawl and jacket. Style it with nude or blue pumps to get the look.

What to Wear to a Polo Match: Be the Model Dressed Spectator

June 1st, 2011

Why What to Wear to a Polo Match is More Important Than Ever

Formerly the sole preserve of royalty and the upper echelons of society, polo, is experiencing something of an identity shift.  The ancient sport, the etymology of which, derives from the Tibetan word ‘pulu’, has over the past few decades, opened its once inaccessible doors to pretty much any Tom, Dick or Harry (and we don’t mean HRH).  This is much to some of the polo establishment’s horror.  But, this is the 21st century.

So, although pioneering polo ambassador Prince Philip (it was he afterall who got Queenie to found the Windsor-situated Guards Polo Club in 1955), might not necessarily look his most natural when mingling up alongside TOWIE wannabes, if grandson no2 can be the life and soul of the now openly public ‘Public’ party, and get down and dirty with whoever takes his fancy on the dance floor at Mahiki, and both grandson no1 and his son can get away with marrying ‘commoners’, then we say it’s high time the rest of us commoners were allowed to rub shoulders with society’s entitled.  Depending on the event, certain dress is required.

What to Wear to a Polo Match: Less Flesh is Definitely More

Getting what to wear to a polo match right, isn’t that difficult.  The main thing, is gauging the

Zimmerman silk tie singlet dress. Hire: £49. RRP: £235

formality of the specific polo event.  At the royally originated Guards Polo Club for instance, the dress code is not as stuffy as you’d think.  But while jeans might nowadays be given the go-ahead, unless you have a signet ring and a titled polo-playing boyfriend/spouse to go with them (a la Kate Middleton), it might not be a bad idea to go for an outfit that’s slightly more dressy.  In the polo world, this by no means equates to flashy. Or fleshy.

Dresses for a Polo Match That Give You the ‘X’ & Not the Chav Factor

When it comes to what to wear to a polo match, the main thing you want to avoid is having too much flesh on show.  It was her high chav factor, that saw Katie Price uninvited to the VIP enclosure at the Cartier International polo tournament in 2008.  Pictured are some dresses for the polo, the wearing of which will get you noticed for all the right reasons.  Flirty, summery, not-too-fleshy dresses for the polo are precisely the order of the day.

Team with wedges, or flats (stilettos don’t and the ever-long half-time tradition of divot stomping do not go hand in hand), a neat clutch, and a smart jacket/shrug. And don’t forget your umbrella!  Clap at all the right moments, and do as the polo-regulars do.  There’s nothing that turns an eligible polo playing bachelor off more than a girl at the polo who can’t tell the fourth chukka from the 6th or the 8th.  Oh and don’t wear a hat. It might look right at the races, but at the polo it’s deemed a faux pas of the highest order.
