Debrett's Style Tips: Queen's Cup Polo
What is your partnership with Bicester Village and why does it work so well?
Debrett's and Bicester are both champions of British style; Debrett's as the authority on etiquette, British tradition and formal events, and Bicester through the exceptional partner brands it supports and showcases. For this reason we have collaborated to create the Guide To British Style, exploring all things sartorial with a focus on the comprehensive rules of dressing throughout the Season.
What is the 'Guide To British Style'?
It is a beautiful pocket guide to style and the Season, deciphering dress codes and exploring the surprising origins of some Britain's most cherished and iconic items of clothing. It reveals everything that remains central to the British notion of style, from its heritage to both its craft and creativity – qualities that Debrett's has championed throughout its nearly 250-year history.
Why would you advise Lady readers to visit Bicester Village when looking for an outfit for these summer events?
Bicester Village plays host to more than 130 boutiques, which makes dressing for a special summer occasion both convenient and affordable. Less than an hour from London, a visit to Bicester means you can find your dress, shoes, hat and accessories all in one place – and with up to 60% off.

What is the dress code for gentlemen?
A smart casual dress code applies at Guards Polo Club, with stricter rules in place in particular areas. Men must wear collared shirts and ties, lounge suits, or trousers with a blazer or jacket in the Royal Box.
How can ladies balance comfort with looking smart?
The Queen's Cup takes place in late June, so it is likely to be warm - cool fabrics are therefore advisable for a stylish, summery look.
How can gentlemen balance comfort with looking smart?
Lighter linen blazers may be more comfortable in warm weather than a heavy jacket or lounge suit.
