Equestrian Chic

The equestrian look is not for everyone, but this equestrian look is classic and chic. Not only are riding boots big this fall, but this look is appropriate for so many functions. For example Alicia wore this outfit out to a bar but she could easily wear this to most work environments, dinner date or shopping with the girls. Let me break it down why I like this outfit. First and foremost all of the pieces Alicia is wearing are great basics that can easily be transitioned into other outfits. Like the tweed skirt could be worn dressed down with a jean jacket or dressed up with a button up blouse. Also, the blazer Alicia is wearing could be dressed down with skinny jeans and flats or dressed up dress slacks and heels. But back to the outfit being shown, another reason I really like Alicia’s outfit is she picked an asset to show off (her legs) and kept everything else covered up. Too many times you see girls showing arms, cleavage and legs; it’s all just TOO MUCH! Honey he’s not buying the cow if he can get the milk for free. In addition Alicia’s added the best accessories pearl earrings (a girl’s best friend) and a watch. These accessories are perfect because there is already a lot of interest towards her face with the v of the blazer front and the neck tie of the turtle neck a necklace would just be too much. Also, these accessories really speak to the tone of the equestrian look without making her outfit look like a costume. In the end this look isn’t everyone’s cup of tea but those who do attempt the look it’s all about mixing classic and current, so keep it fresh.
