What to Wear at the Morgan Auto Group Charity Polo Classic

The Morgan Auto Group Charity Polo Classic is just right around the corner! Before you wait until the day of to stress about what to wear to this kind of event, take a peek at these options that will help you nail the effortless “Who me? I just threw this on” look that everyone dies for.

           

In my opinion, you want to think “easy-chic elegant.” Polo is a very international sport and the Argentinian + European receptivity and love for being perfectly tailored, having luxurious fabrics, and simple accessories are much appreciated at these events.

1.     Ladies, steer clear of stiletto heels. Yes, this event is going to be held at the DI Polo Tour, and yes, you will be walking in grass. You will ruin the elegant overall look when you are constantly pulling your heels out of the dirt. But I have the perfect solution: a pair of eye-catching wedges or even an embellished sandal. These will make sure you keep your elegant look throughout the whole match.

2.     For a polo match, it’s all about the hat. Not only will this complete your entire look, it will save you from the hot Florida sun that we still have in February. However, this is not the Kentucky Derby, so leave your long feathered, structured, multi-tiered bonnets at home in the closet. Instead, bring out your chic panamas and your more flexible more beachy-type hats. If you’re feeling out of the ordinary—try a fantastic geometric print headscarf to portray that 1940’s glam look. Throw in a pair of the oversized, Jackie O sunnies to complete the look!

3.     Your overall look should be a combined effort of style and polished. The only thing you need to add to your fancy footwear and head accessory is a dress. We can all cross our fingers that it will be sunny so we can whip out our sundresses in the middle of February. Sundresses with a modern twist and maxi and midi dresses with a statement piece of jewelry are key when the sun is shining. However, if the clouds start to roll in bring a little jacket for an easy transition.

Men’s attire can come off as a little easier…

1.     Typically, men will wear chinos or dress pants with a dress shirt. A sport coat could add a nice and useful layer to your get up too. If you want to go the extra mile feel free to throw on a bow tie and a fedora! And for your final touch, brogues, loafers, or driving shoes are an excellent choice.
