Whatever the occasion, when the time comes, we always find ourselves struggling with the dress-up part. You have to keep many factors in mind, such as timing, lighting, weather and the occasion. It can be even trickier if you are dressing up for a polo match because polo attracts over 5000 people over a year, as well as ace actors and style icons. As the Polo match day is fun and sporting, comfort is a big consideration, and it is also important to make sure that your outfit suits your personality.
He is the Nawab of Patuadi and an ace actor from Bollywood; he carries the pride of one of India’s most prestigious royal families and is the style icon for the younger audience. Being closely tied with Polo and a whole League of polo, the Bhopal-Pataudi Polo Cup is named after his father, Nawab Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudiand his maternal grandfather, Nawab Hamidullah Khan of Bhopal, in recognition of their enormous contribution to polo. He carries a lot of responsibilities, which he makes look very easy. He proved that he loves this sport…Polo as much as his father and grandfather did. By organising the event himself after his father’s unfortunate death and showing off his sense of dress in major polo events in India, he clearly made the statement that he is Nawab of style, too. Let’s have a look at his polo wardrobe.
1. In 2006, at the Bhopal-Pataudi Polo Cup event organised by Saif’s family at Jaipur Polo Ground, New Delhi, The Nawab of Pataudi made his presence and defined his upbeat and inspiring personality through his dressing. He managed to direct everyone’s eyeballs towards him in blue jeans and a dark blue shirt, complementing his comfy golden blazer. He has a way of dressing that radiates his uncanny personality and inspires people around him and the younger generation.
2. This 6-buttoned navy blue-breasted jacket outfit paired up with loose khaki pants explains what Saif Ali Khan is all about the rich history of his family and his life as an actor. Though he is not a polo player himself, the classic brown boots in this outfit show his enthusiasm for the legendary sport. This outfit is a great fusion of being sporty yet has a class to it.
3. This is another strong appearance by our very own Chhote Nawab. In this three-piece light grey suit paired up with a blue tie with yellow stripes on it, he is making a strong style statement. Once, he said in an interview that he likes to clean his shoes with champagne, which shows how sincere he is about his appearance, and his nicely polished black shoes are proof of it. Though he appeared with his Glamorous and style icon wife, Kareena Kapoor Khan, somehow he managed to steal the spotlight for himself. Here, he relays the message clearly about how serious he is about this sport and his never-ending love for Polo.
4. This is the most relevant and sporty outfit a Polo enthusiast can wear, that too if you are a Bollywood and a Nawab of a princely state. I guess it’s the boldest move by Saif Ali Khan with the navy blue polo tee tucked inside loose-fitted pants. He resembles a Polo player himself, and the brown boots and the gloves in his right hand complete the overall look. His family gave so much to this sport, and it’s quite clear by his distinct style. Whatever the occasion, when the time comes, we always find ourselves struggling with the dress-up part. There are many factors you have to keep in mind, such as timing, lighting, weather and obviously the occasion, and if you are dressing up for a polo match, it can be even trickier because polo attracts over 5000 people over a year and the ace actors and style icons. As the Polo match day is a fun and sporting day, comfort is a big consideration, and it is also important to make sure that your outfit suits your personality.
