With a heritage steeped in prestige, the Lexus Urban Polo® is one of the premier events of the summer events season. This year, iconic Champagne house Veuve Clicquot, is bringing back its exclusive the Solaire VIP Terrace to the Urban Polo, creating the ultimate occasion that calls for a chic and refined summer dress code.
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.
Above all, the chic experience Veuve Clicquot is bringing to the Urban Polo is a celebration of elegance, sophistication, and social enjoyment. 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.

What to wear to the Urban Polo:
Styling tip: Don’t overlook these critical layers
Sunglasses serve both fashion and function—choose a modern silhouette that complements your facial shape. And since summer events can be unpredictable, layering with a linen blazer or lightweight trench ensures comfort if the temperature drops.
Styling tip: the dos and don’t of polo footwear
Footwear is another key consideration, as polo matches take place on grass. Flats, low-heeled sandals, or espadrille wedges offer both comfort and style. Stilettos, while tempting, are best avoided as they’ll sink into the field and make divot stomping difficult (believe us, leave the trending kitten heels at home).
Styling tip: How to nail accessorising
Accessories can elevate your outfit without overpowering it. A woven sunhat or a contemporary headpiece adds an effortlessly polished touch, while a structured clutch or a chic crossbody bag holds essentials without being cumbersome. Understated jewellery, such as a delicate necklace or statement earrings, adds a touch of refinement without being boring. This season we’re loving nautical-inspired pearls, shell details or jewellery that has dainty floral motifs.
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.
