STYLE: Updated equestrian

RANCH

hile the word “equestrian” might bring to mind royals and heiresses, this look is not just for the blue bloods.W Here are the four staple items for channeling your inner horseback rider: 1. A button-down Oxford. This one’s a nobrainer and is probably already in your closet.

Keep it simple with a solid color or soften the overall look with a floral pattern. If you're feeling a little extra, pintucking, smocking, or pleats can also add some zhuzh. 2. Skinny pants. Denim, leather, or stretch are the top opts. 3. An oversized blazer. Try a corduroy or twill. For the more adventurous, look for a long sleeveless vest or gilet, as your fellow horsewomen would call it. 4. Knee-high boots. Not the showy stiletto kind – the functional kind with chunky heels, preferably in leather or suede. Want to add a little Western flair? Go for a good ole cowboy boot. Styling the equestrian look is easy: Keep the lines clean, the accessories to a minimum, and the palette to warm hues of blue, carame,l and charcoal. Together, the tailored casualness of these pieces are fit for royalty but on a budget that won’t knock you off your saddle.W
