Functional elegance: equestrian apparel

Breeches, boots, jacket and helmet: every piece of riding attire was born of a practical need before it became style.

Equestrian apparel is a rare example of fashion in which function and elegance go together. Almost everything in it exists for a practical reason.

Pieces with a purpose

Breeches prevent chafing and creases; boots protect the legs and keep the foot steady in the stirrup; gloves improve the grip on the reins.

Safety first

A certified helmet is the most important item of the outfit. Body protectors are also recommended in many disciplines and situations.

In the equestrian world, style is born of function.

In this section, we will follow the brands, makers and trends that keep this tradition alive in a contemporary way.
