Equestrian fashion faux pas
By |
Fashion faux pas happens at all times and all occasions, especially in the equestrian world, where neat appearance plays an important role. I have gathered some of the most important positions that you should try to avoid, not only during competitions, but also during the everyday trainings.
Avoid:
- Loose hair (use various types of updos – a pony tail, plaits, etc.)
- Excessive make-up
- Holey gloves
- Deformed show jackets (crumpled etc.)
- Battered old shoes
- Falling chaps
- Clothes made from poor-quality materials that restrain your movements
- Strappy tops
- Low necklines, tight shirts (they are supposed to be tailored)
- Dirty riding boots (especially during competitions)
- Too loose clothes (they disenable your coach from telling your hips position, hide the “hunch” etc.)
- Bra that does not control the bouncing breasts (rapid up-and-down movements decreases their appearance)
- Too long jackets, coats, show jackets that the rider sits on during riding
- Unzipped sweatshirts
- Long scarfs, neckerchiefs that might untie and scare the horse
- Bridle in saddle in two different colours
- Breeches with darker grip than the material (it makes you look fatter!)
- Too much jewellery
