ride into hamptons polo in the perfect outfit

Dressing for the Mercedes Benz Polo Challenge (an annual Hamptons event that involves champagne, air kissing, and oh yes, horses, and takes place on six consecutive summer Saturdays) can often seem like one daunting task. You want to be able to compete with Hamptons fashionistas, wear shoes that won’t sink into the grass and be chic enough to head to Nello’s or your next party after the event. The way to go is to wear a dress with a bright pop of color (fuchsia, tangerine or lemon), basic and chic accessories and a piece of bold jewelry. Here is my foolproof outfit for the season opener which is taking place this Saturday, July 24th, in Bridgehampton. Head to Smartpolo.com for more information on the event.
