In the run up to Cartier Polo event there is of course another must-go-to occasion in the social events calendar; The Duke of Essex Polo Cup.Located in the Gaynes Park, Essex, this celeb-led day will see various activities such as Show Jumping, a Fashion Show, 4 course luncheons created by Masterchef judge Gregg Wallace, and of course the Duke of International High Goal Polo match.
Perhaps to some not as fanciable as the Cartier Polo tournament this event will still pack a fashion-punch with ladies adorning a variety of attire, which should hopefully include the same dress code as the Cartier Polo.
As noted women should wear dresses to knee length and where possible include a pashmina, shawl or jacket when required to cover up if the weather turns. I
f you are not sure about adorning a dress then why not opt for a classic chiffon blouse and pencil skirt combination.
Accessorize with a bright bold-coloured belt and clutch bag or heels adding a dash of colour.
Opt for lightweight materials so not to become too hot if the sun should shine; fabrics such as linen, cotton and lightweight silk should do the trick along with this years biggest accessory trend fringing, which if worn correctly can give off a 70s vibe (in order to obtain this look wear a vintage dress and tasselled bag).
Hair and make up should be well groomed and chic, if any this is not the best time to try out the latest burnt orange lipstick, but to keep a minimalist dewy glow for make-up, and soft curls or sleek straight hair if worn down.
If you choose to wear hair up with a hat or fascinator then opt for a chignon bun in order to bring attention to your accessory instead of your hair.
Celebrity guests in the past have included Rod Stewart and Penny Lancaster, singer Pixie Lott and TV presenter Nick Knowles.
