Equestrian Chic has been slowly creeping up for the past few years–from when Hermes featured show jumpers in a show in 2022, and this season it has really exploded! As a rider I am always on the look out, and whether it’s an embroidered horse detail on a cardigan or an actual horse in a jewelry ad they are truly everywhere. This fall, it is time to consider embracing your inner horse girl.
Horse Imagery
It is easy to get mesmerized by the beauty of the horse, which makes them great animals to feature on clothing. From tops with horse heads clearly embroidered, to abstract patterns of running horses, you will be sure to find a piece of clothing that displays the horse in a way that suits you.

Wear Inspired
Equestrian Chic doesn’t only feature the horses, it encompasses the rider’s gear as well. From the hills out west, to the show jumping ring, we are taking inspiration from all kinds of riders outfitting. You can either layer riding-related pieces for maximum effect, or use a simple ribbon tie in your regular outfit to add a subtle nod.

Accessories
Horse-related accessories are nothing of a new concept in fashion, and it is clear why they continue to be such a staple! From Gucci’s iconic horsebit, to beautiful images of horses on Hermes scarves, horses have staked their claim in accessories for a long time and continue to do so.
