eq – The Stylish Equestrian

Sidelines style

September 2, 2017 by rachelreunis, posted in AUTUMN, SUMMER

If, like me this weekend, you’ve got a few horses to ride, and a few friends support who are competing, but aren’t competing yourself, then this is the look for you!

Sophisticated and functional street to stable style that can take you from the stirrups to the sidelines with a simple change from boot to shoe.

I am a big lover of the denim breech as it makes any #rootd effortlessly street to stable, today I chose the Cavallo Chaya grip. Wear it with a super gilrie, yet outdoor proof pink Dubarry Chamomile country shirt and layer of a Fior da Liso beige vest with ink details for warmth and style.

While riding, accessorise the look with the stunning brown leather and blue shine Galaxy helmet by Anterès Sellier and matching Roeckl gloves. Wear my favourite antique brown Alberto Fasciani dressage boots with the belt to match and add on little equestrian themed scarf for style.

Change your boots for a pair of Ariat Henley country shoes and your ready to support from the sidelines in style!

Have a stylish ride and a great weekend!

Mid season must have

August 21, 2017 by rachelreunis, posted in SUMMER

Technically it’s still summer…. but I can already feel a little chill creeping up on us in the early mornings and late evenings…. so, best to get ready to dress for the awkward cold morning/hot day in between season weather.

The newest addition to the Uhip line-up is the perfect piece for that indecisive in-between-weather day: The Hybrid short sleeve jacket offers a mix of fabrics and insulation for warmth and weather protection where exposure is greatest and breathability where body heat needs to escape. The hybrid construction also offers a flexibility and freedom of movement for activities outdoors, like riding of course.

Stylish and functional, what’s not to love? Wear it with a pair of navy blue Ego7 Silicone full seat breeches and a white sleeveless Adidas x Stella McCartney polo (…another example of perfect functional style!).

Accessorise your look highlighting the orange and navy blue color scheme with a pair of Covalliero Gloria marine gloves, the sophisticated KEP Italia helmet, a woven orange belt and a pair of dark blue Stivaleria Secchiari boots.

Adda a few more touches of orange to take this look from stable to street with a pair of vintage Dolce & Gabbana sunglasses and Hogan sneakers.

Have a stylish ride!

Fern fabulous

Ahh the weekend! Hopefully you’ll be spending lots of time at the barn, or watching your friends competing in whatever discipline they excel at. Here’s a look that can have you looking fabulous during your ride as well as being the best dressed street to stable supporter in the crowds.

The inspiration for this look came from these mossy fern colored wedge lace-up super fashionable Sorel Joan rubber boots: THE ultimate way to look good traipsing through summer puddles and mud. I found an incredibly sophisticated light weight bomber jacket by La Perla that has both hint of fern and burgundy in it to enhance the look.

Wear them to watch you friends with an Isabel Marant Etoile basic burgundy t-shirt, a pair of Cavallo Chaya grip denim breeches, a Talbots fern green belt, Cali burgundy baseball cap and Givenchy aviators.

Heading to barn for a ride afterwards? Then swap your baseball cap for this stunning fern green KEP Italia helmet and exchange your super cute rubber boots for a pair of matching Petrie suede green customised boots and throw on a pair of HKM soft touch gloves to finish the look.

Have a great weekend and a stylish ride!

Watercolour world

A touch of aqua, a hint of deep blue: here’s a wonderful watercolour summer #rootd for you !

I came across these beautiful light aqua watercolour breeches by Fix Design and just had to find a way to style them into a contemporary street to stable look. They’re best worn with a casual GAP ombre tie front sleeveless denim shirt and navy blue rider accessories.

The pattent navy blue De Niro Ottaviano dressage boots are a perfect fit for this look, as well as the metallic blue KEP Italia helmet and matching pattent leather Mm6 by Maison Margiela navy blue belt.

I love how Magic Tack has teamed up with Hauke Schmidt to bring you to classiest gloves with just enough bling to brighten up any rider’s outfit, and these navy blue ones with a hint of aqua are absolutely divine.

Wear your summer look street style with an Oughton Limited City Lux M bag, a watercolour and white Kate Spade phone case and a pair of K Swiss clean court CMF sneakers to finish off the outfit.

Have a stylish ride!
