blue – The Stylish Equestrian

Bamboo Blue

May 10, 2017 by rachelreunis, posted in SPRING

Whenever I hear Bamboo, I immediately think of furry panda’s chilling in the sunshine munching on a branch. It is however, also a super inventive technical material that makes sportswear more durable, more breathable and super soft.

It’s really worth a try, especially when it’s incorporated into a pair of stunningly cut breeches like the Espoir Equestrian Maquette Navy Bamboo breeches. Wear them with a classic HV Polo shirt and a beige Uniqlo bomber jacket.

Add a few electric blue accessories to match the breeches like the Roeckl grip gloves and a Lacoste cap as a solution for the dreaded helmet hair situation.

Complete your look with some brown rider essentials like the Alberto Fasciani woven leather belt, a pair of Horka Tiffany croco riding boots and a custom croco KEP Italia helmet.

Have a stylish ride!

Blue skies ahead

Ahh this beautiful blue spring skies – the gentle warmth of the sun, with still just that little crisp in the air. Perfect inspiration for a spring time #rootd that will still keep you warm and looking your stylish best.

As you might know, I am quite the fan of a good denim breech, as they fit perfectly in my idea of the ideal street to stable look. This pair called Chaya grip by Cavallo is exceptionally nice thanks to its cut and color. Wear it with a baby blue criss cross sweatshirt by Athleta and a lightweight J.O.T.T. Jenna jacket.

Have you see these super sporty uniquely styled jumping boots by Alberto Fasciani? The specially developed insert gives you amazing contact with the horse: they are a must try! What makes them even better is that they come in a variety of color combinations to suit every mood. I’ve gone for the blue and black option to fit with this blue skies look. Add on a pair of dark blue Hauke Schmidt Touch of Class gloves and ride in style with the KASK Swarovski carpet blue Dogma helmet.

Add a few more touches of contemporary denim to your look with a Tommy Hilfiger belt and a Stella McCartney Falabella bag.

Enjoy the spring time blue skies and have a stylish ride!

Tropical blue

Who else is in the mood for a pop of bright blue and a hint of tropical goodness? I am!

I saw this magnificent equestrian print tote bag from Ronner design at the SPOGA trade fair this February and absolutely fell in love with it. It’s from their Tropical collection and is not only the inspiration for this tropical blue look, but also the perfect cross over accessory between equestrian functionality and exquisite tropical style.

Wear you tropical tote with a pair of classy dark blue Pikeur Lugana soft-shell breeches, a soft cream colored Hartley roll neck sweater by HV Polo and a bright blue City jacket by Asmar Equestrian.

Accessorise the tropical blue look with a customised KEP Italia dark navy blue promo T helmet, a pair of Roeckl winter gloves, a Prada Daino pebbled leather belt and a Balenciaga printed silk scarf. Keep all the small bits and coins together in your tropical tote bag with the bright blue Stella McCartney Falabella purse and finish off the look with a pair of cognac colored Cavallo Polo Novellus boots.

Have a stylish ride!
