blues – The Stylish Equestrian

We’re all feeling a bit down now the holidays are over. We’re facing a less than optimal bank account level, have gained a few extra pounds, are trudging through gloomy muddy cold weather and are returning back to work after some well deserved time off.

These factors all come together in a perfect storm for a single day believed to be the most depressing of the year: Blue Monday.

Beat those January blues with a super classy Blue and Lilac #rootd.

The midnight blue Vail jacket from Mountain Horse is a wonderful functional riding jacket keeping you warm and helping you ride in style on this blue Monday. The midnight blue Mountain Horse jacket and the Lilac BR Equestrian full seat silicone breeches represent one of my favourites color combo’s and I absolutely love how the Brochu Walker ombre cable knit sweater ties the whole look together. Wear it all with a pair of classic black Mountain Horse Sovereign field boots.

Mix up the colors with a midnight blue Samshield shadow mat helmet, Roeckl gloves and a pair of Hunter wellies to keep your feet dry in this wet cold weather. Keep warm with a lilac Becksondergaard crystal wool scarf and keep a pair of Finlay & co shades close by for the occasional rays of winter sunshine.

Have a stylish (Blue Monday) ride!

It’s a beautiful bright Sunday, but you’re already worrying about what to wear to the office and then lateron to the barn on Monday. You’d rather not loose too much time getting changed and would prefer to avoid looking like a barn babe in the office, right? With this look, you can go straight from the office to the barn without having to change! No More Sunday Blues!

Start off your day right with your office essentials: a Marc Jacobs laptop bag, Persol Steve McQueen sunglasses, a signature Sport Horse Lifestyle baseball cap and a Paul and Lydia Racetrack tote bag to bring along all you need for the day.

White breeches, if of high quality and cut, are a perfect alternative for the white skinny jeans. This Nara pair form Miasuki is the perfect example. Combine it with one of your sophisticated statement T’s like this organic cotton shirt from Equirex.

The blue lacquer rider accessories take the look to a whole new level of sophistication: a ManeJane gold spur buckle belt that matches perfectly with the Montar blue lacquer stable boot. You can count on Roeckl to always have a pair of gloves to go with your #rootd and One K brings you a super sleek blue Defender helmet with a touch of shine to complete your rider look.

Have a great Sunday and a stylish ride!
