The Polo brings the fashions to the field with inspired ‘Preppy Style’ looks keeping it relaxed with a classic clean cut/nautical vibe that sees cool light fabrics such as linens popular. For the ladies pastels shades, neutrals and crisp white colours are the go to for summer and this year incorporating a luxe ‘bum bag’, headband or boater style hat were the must haves to complete the look. The gentlemen opted for classic pieces including tailored shorts, classic polo shirts with blazers and boat style footwear completing the look with a baseball cap or fedora.

The Polo brings our best players from Australia, England, New Zealand and Argentina and is a sport to be enjoyed by both men and women as its all handicapped based.
The horses known as Polo Ponies and the players bring excitement to the day, after all without the match there is no Polo, so it’s important for the spectators to get amongst all the action and cheer them on, enjoy in the fun of the stomping of the divots and the official presentation.
