Today for What to Wear Wednesday we are shifting gears and going for a more comfortable and casual equestrian look from Jenn from Just Caballo.
Jen has been riding since she was 3 years old, and always has had a passion for horses, and of course fashion! Jenn has an Equestrian Fashion blog that brings together the latest styles for “like-minded crazy horse ladies” just like herself. “From the everyday amateur rider to the top competitors out there I hope to show that if I can put an outfit together then I am sure many others can to!”
Jenn aims is to build a great community of supportive equestrians and to showcase new equestrian brands and encourage new businesses to emerge..oh my gosh, this makes my heart so happy because that is a HUGE part of why I started to do What to Wear Wednesday blog features and Small Business Saturday posts.
Jenn shares her inspiration for her comfortable equestrian look.
“I spend such a large amount of my time round the horses and at the yard that I want to feel comfortable as well as to look good. If I look good I tend to feel better, it lifts my spirits and the horses usually prefer me when I am in a happier mood!!
When I am putting together an outfit I will usually base it around some comfy breeches or jeans. I love the Horze full seat silicone in Navy. I am loving blues right now and for the casual, comfy yet chic equine look it is a great colour. I have added a plain black long sleeve tee which everyone has one of these lying about and chucked my favourite NY Yankees NewEra Cap on, great for when the rain showers arrive! I also live in my Roeckl Gloves (Madrid in Black/Gold) they are lightweight and work with a touchscreen phone – a must have for capturing those photos!
A woman needs a great pair of boots in her life too – mine are my Ariat Bromont H20’s. I love the simple lace up look on these, not too much detail for the everyday boot but gives you enough to look great.
With the blue theme which I adore, I have picked out some great items that fit my comfort/casual and chic style.
To start with I picked out the new legging range from Fillies Equestrian, the Navy and White Cross effect is eye catching. Comfy and easily wearable when popping to the shops or for a quick workout. Aztec Diamond Equestrian have a great range of base layers and this stunning white top is versatile so a definite must have for the wardrobe. It can be used for this casual look but also for a show/competition. I love a good sweater or hoody and the Moin sweat from Inselpferd (inselpferd.de) Grey is a great colour to accompany blues and the simplicity of the detail with this top works well. Add a splash of colour with the Soft Shell Jacket from Horse Gloss in Royal Blue. A soft shell jacket is great for being around the horses when you are busy working away but want to avoid the sharp winter winds.
Complete the look with the Vitality bracelet in grey from Pegasus Jewellery. A favourite of mine as it does wonders for the body as well as the outfit.
Get the look:
Fillies Equestrian – Navy Cross Tech Leggings
Aztec Diamond Equestrian – White Technical Stretch Base Layer
Horse Gloss – Softshell Jacket in Royal Blue
Inselpferd – Moin Sweat in Grey
Pegasus Jewellery – Vitality Bracelet in Grey
My tips for putting together a great look is to find a colour that works well for you, one you love and that you can match other items to. I tend to pick the same colours a lot of the time, but I think it can work well as I know I have outfits I can mix and match.
Go for comfort! Being comfortable doesn’t mean you can’t be stylish.
Wear something that makes you feel confident – this is a must, if you don’t feel great in something it will show.
Wear what makes you happy!”
