What To Wear To The Polo

Polo in the City is back for another year, which also means it’s time to start thinking about your on-field fashion.

Navigating the wide world of dress codes can be confusing at the best of times, but throw in some unpredictable weather, and grass underfoot, and it can become even more difficult to decide on your game day style.

But not to worry, as seasoned Polo-goers, we’ve rounded up the best trackside tips to help you nail the Polo in the City fashion brief.

What Is The Polo Dress Code?

Polo in the City is all about taking the traditional country game of Polo and bringing it into an urban environment, which means your outfit needs to represent the contemporary setting.

According to the Polo in the City website, taking a leaf out of the ‘urban chic’ style book will keep you comfortable and stylish – a must-have combination when it comes to dressing for the demands of the field.

What About The Accessories?

Forget formal fascinators and strict dress codes – with no hard and fast fashion rules to follow, polo style is all about letting your personality shine.

Think weather-appropriate attire like seasonal dresses or stylish separates in light fabrics to keep you cool during the heat of the day, as well as sun safe accessories like a good pair of sunglasses and, of course, your hat of choice to top it all off.

When it comes to the shoes, flats, wedge heels or block heeled sandals are acceptable choices for the polo, but keep in mind you’re likely to be walking over grass for most of the day, so a supportive style is a must.

Looking for some inspiration? Scroll on for our guide to nailing the Polo in the City fashion brief.
