How to Dress for a Polo Tournament
The term "polo tournament" may conjure up images of men in suits and ladies in formal dresses with large hats. The days of formal polo tournaments are long gone, though, and you needn't attend a match dressed to the nines. You can now wear anything from T-shirts and jeans to more formal types of clothes. The best way to dress for a polo tournament is to wear the clothes that you're most comfortable in. Does this Spark an idea?

If you're a tailgater or just a regular Joe, you don't have to worry as much about your apparel. Men can wear dress khaki pants or jeans along with a button down shirt or polo shirt. Women can also wear pants with a nice top. Skirts are also appropriate, though you shouldn't wear something that requires heels.

Slip on comfortable shoes. You may have to do a lot of walking, some of it on grass, so you'll want to avoid high heels. If you want to participate in the divot stomping at half-time, you should wear shoes that you don't mind getting a little dirty.

Block out the sun with a hat. While you don't need a fancy, wide-brimmed hat, you may want something to keep the sun off of your face. A baseball cap or a fisherman's style cap will do the job just fine.
