'polo kit?' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'princess wears jewellery husband some' is the wordplay.
'princess' becomes 'di' (Princess Diana).
'wears' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'jewellery' becomes 'ring' (ring is a kind of jewellery).
'husband some' becomes 'habit' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'di' put inside 'ring' is 'riding'.
'riding'+'habit'='RIDING-HABIT'
