The Equestrian Look for Fall 2012!
The riding crop, the riding boots, the jodhpurs make up the equestrian look that’s both posh and oh so sexy! We’re not saying slip on the jodhpurs (tight-fitting trousers that end in a snug fit at the ankles) and brandish a crop to make a fall statement,we’re just labeling the new trend for fall: riding boots! But before we can put together a fall look that works around these effortlessly sexy riding boots, let’s take a look at the royal princess who inspired the strong yet fatally alluring fall trend.
- Princess Charlotte Casiraghi of Monaco, not only inherits the good genes of her mother Princess Caroline, she also shares her mother’s affinity for horses. Not only is she a strong equestrian who’s made her mark in international competition, she’s also a strong fashion presence who has gotten the attention of the high-end brand Gucci. Gucci got its auspicious start as a supplier of equestrian luxury goods and continues to design with an equestrian mold in mind. Princess Charlotte is shown here in her flawlessly tailored Gucci uniform and saddle pads.

The coat features a sleek pattern and is shaped at the waist for definitionwith a slight flare towards the hips. The hem of the coat is rounded, adding more definition at the hips, giving an equestrian (or any woman for that matter, if she wants to slip on an equestrian coat for fall) a strong yet curvy shape.

When paired with the coat, jodhpurs emphasize the sleekness and minimalism of line that an equestrian’s uniform has. The rounded hem of the coat and the sleek tightness of the jodhpurs all serve to give the feminine form curves in the right places while elongating silhouettes. So if you’re on the petite side, a fashion-friendly version of this chic uniform is definitely for you! Practically all women of different sizes will benefit much from the sleek silhouette of the equestrian form.

The best riding boots combine functionality and fashion. This means that they would have to be stiff-backed and supporting the calves but be flexible enough to allow movement. Plus, the knee-high boots have to retain the natural curves yet sleek characteristics of a footwear design that has remained virtually unchanged. There’s something we can say about fashion items that are still being worn in the present, and it is embodied in 2 words: timeless elegance.
