Polo with a View of the Alps

By: Gabriella Fasciani

Perched amongst the rolling, green hills, lies a flat valley in Saanen steps away from Gstaad, the famed jet-set destination, where the world renowned Hublot Polo Gold Cup is held annually. The international Hublot Polo Gold Cup has established itself as an unmissable summer event held in the prestigious resort in the Bernese Alps. This event captures the attention of spectators worldwide, bringing together affluent people such as Alan Roura, Tanguy Nef and Marc Ferrero in past years.

 

The Winners of the Hublot Polo Gold Cup 2022

This year four teams will compete for the grand prize of a Hublot timepiece. The teams have been announced as Team Hublot (Schroder DE, Correa ARG, Gonzalez ARG, Aguerre Jr. ARG), Team Kielder Agro Group (Schweri CH, Novaes BRA, Astelarra ARG, Menedez ARG), Team Gstaad Palace (Cromm DE, Charlton ENG, Maiquez ARG, Emlyn ENG) and Team Gstaad (Le Page FRA, Kelly ARG, Fucci ARG, Laplacette ARG).

Friday is reserved for the beautiful team parades through the streets of Gstaad. Don’t miss the VIP reservation opportunities as well.

What to Wear

THE POLO MATCH EDIT

Polo has been at the center of high society’s social calendars for centuries, bringing together the beau monde for elaborate events that include not just simply spectating, but fabulous fashion.

While there is no official dress code for the National Polo Club, there is an unspoken and understood etiquette surrounding match-appropriate attire, regardless of the club policy. This is, after all, the sport of kings.

A note on practicality: ladies should avoid heels, particularly stilettos, that sink into the turf . Opt for flats or wedges and remember to consider whether or not you will be taking part in the traditional divot stomp when choosing your fashionable footwear!

What to Wear: Polo

COOL & CAVALIER

Pair your go-to jeans or cropped khakis with a simple tee under a bouclée or boyfriend blazer. Leave it loose and laissez-faire with boyfriend trousers and a relaxed blouse or cami. Add a little je ne sais quoi to your ensemble with a statement accessory such as a silk scarf around your neck, a chunky gold link bracelet, a strand of pearls, or a broach.

What to Wear: Polo

TIMELESS & TRADITIONAL

All white (or ish).

Like many polo traditions, the white pants worn by polo players, known as jodhpurs, can be traced back to India, where the high temperatures made “white and light” essential attire for the 1800’s British nobility and army officers who were stationed there and played the sport. During that time, in most areas of the world, wearing white was a status symbol suggestive of the resources one possessed to wear such a light color without a worry. Namely, hired help and significant wardrobe options for dinner and the following day’s dress. Wearing white was just as relevant for the elite members of society who attended the matches as it was for the players.

Polo loves tradition, and a monochromatic white ensemble is always a winner on and off the field!
