Style Guide: What to Wear Trackside

The polo is more than just a sport-it’s an occasion. Sun-kissed afternoons, champagne in hand and an atmosphere buzzing with sophistication. With the season fast approaching, it’s the perfect time to curate your polo wardrobe.

At SODA Fashion Haus, we’ve pulled together an edit of what to wear when the ponies hit the field which feels luxe, effortless and unapologetically chic.

Dress Code Decoded

Polo style is all about refined elegance with a playful edge. Think garden-party glamour meets runway polish. While race days lean formal, polo dressing is slightly more relaxed; it’s about balancing polished sophistication with a sense of ease.

• Hemlines: Midi and maxi dresses reign supreme, offering movement, coverage and an air of effortless grace.

• Silhouettes: Floaty, tailored, or structured-the polo invites statement sleeves, cinched waists, and flowing skirts.

• Fabric: Breathable linens, silks and crepes that handle the sun while keeping you polished.

What to Wear

The Statement Dress

From Shona Joy’s sculptural silhouettes to Acler’s architectural tailoring, polo season is your moment to embrace dresses that do the talking. Look for elevated details: halter necklines, asymmetric cuts, or intricate pleating. Our edit includes:

• Rebecca Vallance midi dresses for bold, feminine polish.

• Leo Lin printed maxis for colour with movement.

• Misha sleek satins when you want contemporary sophistication.

Tailored Two-Piece

For those who prefer a modern twist, swap the dress for Acler’s suiting separates or Pasduchas co-ords. Pair with strappy heels or block-heeled mules (perfect for lawn terrain).

Accessories That Elevate

• Wide-brimmed hats or a sleek headband from Ford Millinery strike the perfect balance of practicality and polish.

• Olga Berg clutches-structured, metallic, or beaded, add just the right pop of luxe.

• Sunglasses are non-negotiable: Vieux eyewear brings that fashion-editor finish.

The Shoe Game

Ditch the stilettos. Polo fields and grass don’t mix. Instead, think block heels, wedges or even dressy flats that keep you elevated without sinking. Our boutique selection of Lana Wilkinson heels bridges comfort and chic perfectly.

Styling Notes

• Colour Palette: Polo welcomes bold hues and romantic prints. If in doubt, timeless neutrals with luxe detailing never fail.

• Layers: A lightweight blazer or elevated bomber jacket is your best friend for late-afternoon breezes.

• Finishing Touches: Minimal jewellery keeps the look refined-let your outfit be the hero.
