TOP TIPS FOR THOSE ATTENDING THE POLO IN PORTSEA VICTORIA

 1. No thongs…. you should never wear thongs unless you’re in the back yard, at some caravan park shower block or in prison. You can do better than that. No slides either…such as crocs or leather sandals and no velcro

2. It’s good to throw colour out there but try not to match your shorts, shoes and shirt…matching shoes and belt (tick)….if you have a pin stripe detail on the shorts, don’t wear a striped shirt (vertical or horizontal).

3. Tuck the shirt in….don’t wear a business shirt and try to make it look like a casual shirt…

4. No t-shirts – not even button up V necks…especially t-shirts with prints – a classic crisp white shirt will go with any colour shorts or shoes. Roll the sleeves up…if you’re not a polo player…don’t wear Ralph Lauren Polo’s with large prints and numbers…leave it to the players

5.Check the weather and decide if you need to take a blazer or knit…think ‘Phil Collins’…..Oh and stay away from the Rugby tops.

6. Say no to denim shorts… buy some tailored shorts or throw in some chino’s and show some ankle. You don’t have to wear shorts

7. No socks with your shoes – get rid of them… by some Odour-eaters to keep those feet fresh

8. Good sun glasses – leave the wrap-around-s at home for your next trip to Calder park

9. Be a gentleman, don’t get overly wasted and start being a douche bag to the girls… (or boys)… everyone is there to have a good time… try to remember it the next day

10. Have a blast
