On May 30, 2009, the second annual Veuve Clicquot Manhattan Polo Classic will take place at Governors Island. Prince Harry is playing on one of the teams captained by Nick Roldan against Black Watch captained by Nacho Figueras (the new face of Ralph Lauren’s Polo fragrance). All the money raised will be going to American Friends of Sentebale, a charity that was co-founded by Prince Harry. I’m pretty excited about this event as I’ve never watched polo live, I’ll be going as a Veuve guest and will be getting some pre-match tips from a polo expert then have lunch in the VIP picnic area with a catered lunch and of course unlimited flowing Veuve Clicquot. Polo Style: Gentlemen are kindly requested to wear a suit and ladies their most daring hat! Sounds like a nice outing, now just thinking of what to wear… In honor of the upcoming event, Veuve Clicquot is giving away one (1) Veuve Clicquot Traveler Set + Blanket to one lucky nitro:licious reader!

* 25/ Las Vegas, NV
* I would rock a vintage Stetson straw panama hat to the polo match. Huge extravagant hats are way too predictable for events like these. Id go with something a lil more sleek and tailored…plus Stetson hats always remind me of The Great Gatsby

I would wear a visor with a polo dress.
21/Columbus, OH
seersucker suit, nude wedges. love preppy summers!
29 / philadelphia, pa
I would wear any hat that could fit in my oversize head. (my head is so big that I have a hard time buying hat) a yellow visor should look good with a polo shirt

I would wear that cute little black hat that you have. IT would add sooo much interest to your outfit and give you an excuse to go and spend some time at your favorite hairdresser. I like to play on whatever attire I am requested to wear to events. I think the tiny hat will make you the talk of the day. Or Phillp Treacy for Ralph Lauren if all else fails. I mean who more understands the world of Polo than Ralph.
I would rock a Fedora. Found a great one at H&M!!

Uh I’ve been reading your blog forever. It was seriously insanity when I saw your comment. I can’t believe you just left a comment on mine. I have no readers compared to you obviously. I was sort of shocked. Your comment made my day…just cause, like I said I’ve been reading your blog FOREVER and you’re sort of like the queen bee or something.
Okay..bye.
23/Reno, NV
Perfect hat for a polo event is a straw hat, a la Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman at the polo match she accompanies Richard Gere to.
For this event I would most likely go for a Lauren Paper Straw Fedora if attending as a V.I.P
but usually I’m wearing a PINK PONY Logo Cap for polo events.
