STYLE TIPS FOR THE POLO CLASSIC, LOS ANGELES
Cameron Silver, owner of DECADES, vintage boutiques located in Los Angeles and London, lends style tips for guests attending the Veuve Clicquot Polo Classic, Los Angeles.
Also, check out his post about fashion from the 20’s and 30’s (very much inspired by the soon-to-come Veuve Clicquot Polo Classic Los Angeles and the "Daisy Buchanan-esque" dressing that will ensue) on the Decades blog.
Polo style tips for Women:
- Wear a hat and wear it proud. The bigger the better.
- Shoes need to be sensible and stylish. Go for a wedge and avoid a stiletto heel and avoid sinking into the lawn.
- Prints are your new best friend. A floral tea dress paired with a cashmere cardigan creates a great sophisticated, retro look that's very Polo-esque.
- Dress the part: Throw on a pair of jodhpurs into your riding boots with a crisp polo shirt. Don't be surprised if you end up on a horse, however!
- This isn't a night club - leave the all-black wardrobe for the after-party!
Polo style tips for Men:
- Ask yourself, "What would Cary Grant wear?" Buy a grown up suit and dress to impress.
- Step out of the box and add some color to your wardrobe. An Etro print tie or pocket square with a colorful shirt exudes a bit of English-inspired eccentrics.
- It’s polo after all: When all else fails, a fresh pique polo shirt, slim flat front khakis, a cashmere pullover, and a gold Rolex will work wonders. Top it off with a fedora and aviators for a sense of mystery.
