HORSING AROUND: STYLING EQUESTRIAN
WEAR AND JEWELRY

Fall is the perfect time to lean into equestrian wear and horse-themed trends in your clothing, accessories, and footwear. At Paparazzi Accessories, we have jewelry that will help you embrace the nostalgic themes, preppy energy, and Western flair of countryside and equestrian horseback riding. The versatility of equestrian-inspired fashion helps you transition your outfits from season to season while still rocking the latest trends.

Here are some tips for styling horse-themed apparel and accessories to help you nail the equestrian trend: 

OUTERWEAR AND FOOTWEAR

As the weather cools off, don’t be afraid to layer, layer, layer. To make your layers feel more equestrian-inspired, look for collared coats and field jackets that are tailored, padded, or quilted. These details add a touch of timeless sophistication and longevity to basic outerwear, enabling you to wear it year after year.

Top off your look in preppy, old-money style by wearing a flat cap in a tweed fabric, solid hue, or checked pattern that coordinates with the rest of your outfit. Explore Paparazzi’s fall trend, Alpine Allure, for more cozy-yet-posh outerwear inspiration!

For equestrian-inspired footwear, look for boots that are sleek, tall, and functional. Think riding boots with smooth, shiny leather or rubber boot silhouettes that will keep your feet warm and dry, no matter what the fall weather has in store. With the right boots, you’ll be walking in style, whether you’re hitting the city streets or taking a countryside stroll.

 

 

MOTIFS AND PATTERNS

Equestrian-themed apparel and accessories lean into fun, whimsical territory with motifs like horses, horseshoes, saddles, and rosettes. You might find these motifs as graphic prints on t-shirts and sweaters or as pendants or charms on necklaces and bracelets. Other places you might find horse-themed motifs include brooches, buttons, cuff links, socks, handbags, and hats. 

Bold and subtle patterns are often seen in equestrian-inspired looks. For a classic, horse-country look, try on some outerwear or everyday clothing with patterns like: 

• Tartan
• Gingham
• Plaid
• Prince of Wales checks
• Paisley
• Denim on denim

 

 

COLORS AND MATERIALS

Earthy neutrals, like rich browns, soft creams, deep greens, and sunset hues, take center stage in horse-themed ensembles. Pair these warm colors with materials like knits, fleeces, faux leathers, and pony-hair hides for a grounded, low-key look that turns heads with subtle flair. Finish your outfit with gold-toned or antiqued-silver jewelry and hardware on your handbags, belts, and other accessories.

Some other classic, country-club-inspired materials to look for include tweed and saffiano leather. These textured materials add dimension and visual interest to outfits with simple, understated color palettes. 

 

 

MAKE IT A LITTLE MORE WESTERN

For a more Western take on equestrian wear, lean into materials like denim, suede, and cowhide. Accessorize your outfits with hammered metals, antiqued details, and natural stones to make your horse-inspired outfit feel more country-chic instead of country-club. 

Look for accessories and apparel featuring horse motifs and other Western designs, like stars, spurs, stirrups, and horse bits. You could also throw on a cowboy hat, cowboy boots, or oversized belt buckle to give your outfit a little more Western edge.
