The design of equestrian attire needn’t and shouldn’t sacrifice style for comfort or safety. The brands in WB Equiline’s range marry fashion with function.
These days, safe doesn’t mean dowdy. Over the years, equestrian attire has evolved far beyond mere functionality, so that these days it combines comfort and safety with style to meet the discerning tastes of modern riders, and not just their practical requirements. For UK horse owners, choosing the right riding gear enhances both performance and confidence, whether in the stable, the training arena or the competition ring. Today’s equestrian fashion offers sophisticated designs and technical fabrics that ensure riders look polished while staying comfortable and unhindered during long hours with their horses.
Comfort is paramount in riding clothes, as riders need flexibility and ease of movement. Breathable, stretchy materials like moisture-wicking synthetics or lightweight cotton blends allow for unrestricted motion during riding or stable work. For instance, Dada Sport makes breeches and jackets with ergonomic cuts and elastic fabrics that hug the body without restricting, perfect for dynamic activities like jumping or dressage. Similarly, Manfredi Equestrian uses innovative textiles that facilitate airflow, ensuring riders stay cool and comfortable even during intense sessions.
Practicality is equally critical. Equestrian attire must withstand mud, dust and unpredictable weather, while offering safety and grip. De Niro Boots and Alberto Fasciani excel here, producing riding boots from premium leather or waterproof synthetics that provide ankle support and stirrup traction. Their designs, like Fasciani’s elasticated training boots, balance rugged utility with sleek looks, making them ideal for both daily chores and shows. Kep Italia Hats provide a very high level of safety and look great. They use lightweight, ventilated materials to keep riders cool under pressure, with customisable fits for added security; and
style ties it all together, letting riders express their individuality. Meanwhile, Tommy Hilfiger Equestrian brings preppy elegance with tailored jackets and vibrant breeches that transition effortlessly from yard to competition. Their signature colour-blocking adds flair without sacrificing a professional appearance. Dada Sport and Manfredi infuse European chic (think subtle embroidery and metallic accents), so that what you get isn’t just equestrian attire, but high fashion. Kep Italia’s helmets, available in velvet or sparkling finishes, add a touch of glamour while meeting stringent safety standards.
By blending all these safety, comfort and style elements, brands like De Niro, Fasciani, Dada, Manfredi, Tommy Hilfiger and Kep Italia ensure equestrian attire is both functional and fashionable. For riders, this means investing in versatile pieces that enhance their riding experience while reflecting personal style, all without compromising on the practical requirements of the equestrian lifestyle.
