With the action and adrenalin on the field, guests of the Pacific Fair Magic Millions Polo want to remain cool, calm, and collected while basking in the warmth of the Gold Coast summer and enjoying the marvellous hospitality on offer.

Think light weight, breathable fabrics in cool-to-the-eye tones – linens and cottons will be especially favoured with colours that reflect the surrounds – the blues of the coastal waters, yellows that bring their own sunshine, complemented by effortlessly chic neutrals and earthy tones.

Accessories will be the order of the day for the stylish and sun smart – sunglasses and broad brim hats plus jewellery – sophisticated pearls or statement metallics will add glamour.

Cross body bags or clutches with wrist straps are perfect for keeping balance for the divot stomp and lastly, a spritz of your favourite summery scent before you leave home will keep you feeling fresh throughout the day.
