Meet Nacho Figueras: Quite Possibly The World’s Hottest And Most Altruistic Polo Player

Meet Nacho Figueras, a man who is (almost) as delicious as his nickname. Nacho is a professional polo player who also, appropriately enough, models for Ralph Lauren Polo fragrances and Ralph Lauren Black Label. Luckily for us you plebes, Nacho is always willing to share style and etiquette tips so that you will not be left looking like a graceless clod when falling off your polo pony and into a pile of money. 

Says Nacho:

Polo is about whatever you feel comfortable with. It’s very inviting. It’s great to bring kids and your family.

There’s no special etiquette required unless you’re told differently. Polo is for everyone. . . . Polo can be a bridge between different classes. It’s everyone at the same place at the same time.

We have always been under the impression that people who use the phrase “bridge between different classes” are the type of people who believe themselves to be upper class. Guillaume de Lesquen, President of Ralph Lauren Fragrances, drives the point home:

Nacho personifies The World of Polo by living the lifestyle represented by each of the fragrance. When he isn’t playing polo in the world’s most prestigious tournaments and promoting its heritage as an ambassador, he is sailing with his young family off the coast of Punta del Este, Uruguay and breeding horses on his ranch outside of Buenos Aires.

We, on the other hand, personify The World of Strawberry by paying for Happy Meals in mostly nickels and shouting “THE KILLER IS BEHIND YOU, YOU STUPID HEIFER!” at the screen during matinee showings of scary movies in Queens. (5 bucks!)

Since you were already planning to be at this weekend’s polo match between Nacho and Prince Harry at the Veuve Clicquot Manhattan Polo Classic on Governor’s Island, do say hello to El Cheesy One for us, won’t you? And try to work in this phrase when you address him, if possible:

“Quite frankly I think he will be cream-crackered and will want a good night’s kip,” said the prince’s private secretary, Jamie Lowther-Pinkerton.

Love it.
