Equestrian Bottoms - Breeches
Breeches
Let your personality "show" through! Getting the right fit is essential to your comfort. You can also ensure that breeches look good by choosing a color that will look flattering on you.
You can wear full seat breeches for any of the three disciplines of equestrian sport: show jumping, dressage, and eventing. Full seat breeches are best for people who want more security in their pants when they are riding cross country or want a cleaner looking appearance. In general, you should get more tailored breeches for show jumping and more relaxed breeches if you're going to be hacking around the trails on your off days.
Giovani is the star riding pants of the Dada Sport range. Giovani owes his success to his cut, fabric and details. It is comfortable, shapely and flattering for all morphologies.
DESIGNER SPOTLIGHT: White House Black Market / WHBM
This classic ivory pant has smoothing technology to hold, lift, and shape. White House Black Market’s Comfort Stretch Pant continues to be one of their best-selling and long-loved styles. Check out the new darts at the back waist to create a lifted and contoured look. The result? A flattering effect from every angle!
There are so many great gifts out there for equestrians. Equestrians need warm weather gear to look good when they ride in the arena, especially if they have a hunt club membership, or go trail riding. When it comes to apparel, you want to make sure that quality is not sacrificed because it has a fall pattern on it.
I hope you enjoyed some of my favorites. “Always dress your best — you never know who you might meet.” This quote is true for all walks of life. Whether it is a business meeting, an important social occasion, or just out to dinner at a casual restaurant. Always put your best foot forward and make sure to look good enough to eat! Now, we know that no one likes getting dressed up for everything they do. But, if you want to make a great impression, dressing like a “million bucks” is the way to go.
