With a heritage steeped in prestige, the Milford NZ Polo Open is one of the premier events of the summer events season. From elegant dresses and statement headwear to sophisticated accessories and footwear that blends style with practicality, this is a summer event to showcase sartorial flair while respecting the event’s elevated atmosphere.
For a polished look, consider sophisticated yet effortless attire. Flowing dresses, tailored jumpsuits, and chic co-ords with modern silhouettes are ideal choices. Opt for breathable, natural fabrics such as cotton or linen to keep cool in the summer heat, and embrace soft pastels, muted tones, or timeless patterns like vintage stripes and delicate florals. If your style is more utilitarian, look to references like Isabel Marant to work in playful patterns or feminine trims to soften your style.
When it comes to skin exposure, we encourage you to look for balance. If you’re wearing tailored shorts or a mini dress, try and keep your top half covered with longer sleeves. Or, conversely, pair exposed arms with midi or maxi lengths skirts or wide length trousers. Not only does this emulate a more elegant finish but limits the amount of exposure to the sun’s harsh rays.
By embracing polished yet effortless style, you’ll be dressed perfectly for an unforgettable day. And once your outfit is sorted, you can focus on the real fun of the day: having a fabulous time watching the polo.

Styling tip: Polo Beauty must-haves
Light, dewy makeup and billowy blown-out hair will keep you looking fresh throughout the event. Sun protection is also essential, so apply sunscreen and seek shade when needed. Opt for multi-tasking products to keep on-the-go like a cheek/lip tint or a tinted sunscreen four touch-ups.
