Have a fun day. I'm sure you will look very smart. I look forward to hearing all about it afterwards. Is anyone going with you to get some pics?

P.S don't stress yourself out. If you enjoy it this time then you can invest in all the gear x

Whatever gloves you have. I have a white string pair and a brown leather pair, which have both been fine. See what looks best with with your brown tweed. Any colour shirt will be fine, but wear a coloured tie rather than a white showjumper's tie. If budget is an issue get a cheap school shirt...
