I’m not too savvy about the game of polo, I’ll admit, but the fashion for the matches is to die for. As most of you know, I’m a high school teacher, and we finish out the year with The Great Gatsby (my favorite book of all time), and every time I hear the word polo, I of course think of the line where Gatsby describes Tom as “the polo player.” When I think of polo matches, I picture a Gatsby-esque setting with socialites like Jordan Baker and Daisy Buchanan sitting on gorgeous lawn chairs and drinking fabulous champagne cocktails. I’m glad to see my fantasy isn’t far from the truth. Take a look at some photos from the Veuve Clicquot Polo Classic held recently at Liberty State Park in Pacific Palisades. Which looks were your favorites? Are there any polo matches in your area?
