Thanks for coming back for part two of "equestrian chic" - we're looking at the trend in fashion today!
The first I remember seeing this trend appear was in Christian Dior's Spring 2010 Couture show. Remember these looks?
As we all know, couture fashion inspires ready-to-wear fashion - for those of us who can't afford couture. :o)
But if you're like me at all, I can't afford ready-to-wear fashion either, so what I'm most interested in, is when it trickles down to us in the mainstream.
I love this JCrew look...
And I love finding inspiration on Polyvore...
Equestrian Inspired Blazer Outfit by xX_Vuvuzela_Xx featuring alexander wang handbags
This is probably my favorite set..
Equestrian Chic by PURE STYLE featuring metals jewelry
Righ now I am LOVING the beautiful styling in Anthropologie's September catalog...
a few items on my anthropologie wishlist right now...
Really hard to see but the white print on this dress is andalusian horses - this would be amazing to have for Derby Day!!
I have some "cognac" colored Frye riding boots I purchased a couple years ago, but really want to add a black pair this year. I'm thinking maybe these...
But I'm hopelessly attracted to the brown ones...
This look is so much fun, I had to create my own Polyvore - I would wear the look this way:

I'm a huge fan and will definitely be sporting the look this fall.
What do you think of the trend? Like? Too preppy?

Um LOVE! For those of us who are on an even tighter budget, Old Navy has some great little riding pants. I don't know if thats what they're intended to be but they have the seaming of riding pants and they are super fitted but thicker than leggings. They are so cute! I saw them on my way out the door the other day & tried to find them online but didn't see them or I would've posted a link. Anyway I plan to rock the equestrian look this season too, just on a smaller budget :)
ReplyDeleteSorry for such a long comment & I love your Polyvore set. Polyvore is soooo addicting!
Oh my goodness NEVER apologize for a long comment - all comments make our day!! Thanks so much! I will be sure to check out Old Navy this weekend! The anthropologie johdpurs are $55 I think so they're FAIRLY reasonable, but if Old Navy has them for less I will definitely go for those! The Anthropologies have like a leather patch at the knees and the beige ones are cool because the patch is tan. Maybe I can get basic black at old navy and the "unique" ones at anthro!! :o)
ReplyDeleteThat first polyvore ensemble you feature is fabulous. Loving the chic chiffon and blazer against the cream jeans and rough riding boots- makes for a dressier sort of equestrian trend that I'm on board for!
