Check out the Fashion at this years Vueve Clicquot Polo Classic at Will Rogers State Park in Los Angeles CA. (Fashion Re-cap)
We all know the famous Pretty Women polo match scene, where Edward Lewis (Richard Gere) takes Vivian (Julia Roberts) to her very first polo match. In the movie Vivian wears a classy brown and white polka dot dress (see photo here), with a matching straw hat and white gloves. But actually, after doing a little bit of research as to what one wears to a polo match, it is usually a very casual event. A casual dress or even jeans and a blouse, or even a t-shirt, is suitable (see how the Duchess of Cambridge, Kate Middleton, wears a simple tee and jeans). Although with such events like the Vueve Clicquot Polo Classic, where there’s lot of champagne and a little bit of celebrity, we celebrate a bit more and dress up a bit more too. See the trends from the event below:
1. The Vueve Clicquot websites stated that Women were “encouraged to wear dresses and their most daring hats.” Check out those who participate in the dresses and Hats dress code:

2. We have to say, many of those we snapped at the event were actually not in lovely sundresses but in Jumpsuits! Yes I was surprised at the amount of ladies wearing jumpsuits. We suppose it’s just a bit easier to picnic in a jumpsuit than in a dress. See the styles below:

3. Gentlemen were recommended to wear “linen suits”. We couldn’t tell the fabric… linen or not, they were fun and better than what we expected. Rarely did you see anyone in dark blacks and blues. Most were in light or colored pants, chukka style boots or lace ups, brown framed sunglasses, and lots of fun bow ties/accessories. See the styles below:
See Similar Navy Blazer styles here by Ted Baker London Slim Fit Jersey Blazer & Di Milano Uomo Trim Fit Cotton Blazer. And Pink Blazer style DSQUARED2 two button blazer .

HAPPY SHOPPING!
