Not to be left out of the fashion conversation following the Met Gala, the Nedbank International Polo returns on 17 May 2025 by stepping into its equestrian avant-garde era, where tradition meets innovation and polo meets high fashion.
Nedbank International Polo 2025: Trot Into Avant-Garde Elegance
“The 2025 Nedbank International Polo is set to redefine the polo experience, fusing the elegance of tradition with bold, avant-garde innovation to deliver an unforgettable celebration of luxury.” – Buli Ndlovu, Executive Head of Retail and Business Banking Marketing at Nedbank
Long celebrated as a space where fashion, creativity, and sport collide, the Nedbank International Polo has become a canvas for self-expression and boundary-pushing elegance. This year’s theme, Equestrian Avant-Garde, is no exception.
At the heart of the 2025 Nedbank International Polo experience is a seamless fusion of tradition and modernity. This year, the event is all about pushing the boundaries of both innovation and elegance, which speaks to Nedbank’s commitment to blending the best of both worlds. After all, they’re providing digital convenience while ensuring a personalised, human touch that reflects the premium experience the bank is known for.
Ahead of Time
Designed to ignite imagination and blur the lines between tradition and trend, the Equestrian Avant-Garde era dares guests to reimagine classic polo aesthetics through a high-fashion lens. With this year’s theme, guests will fuse timeless equestrian elegance with bold, avant-garde innovation, inviting a fresh take on tradition.
From tailored riding jackets and structured jodhpurs to glossy leathers, layered silks, and exaggerated knee-high boots, the look embraces both precision and play. Accessories such as veils, gloves, and sculptural hats punctuate the aesthetic, where minimalism meets maximalism.
