Eventing Season Style Guide

Eeeeeeeeeeeeeek, it's FINALLY springtime, and that means one thing..... the eventing season has well and truly begun!

Now this year has had a bit of a disastrous start unfortunately, due to the horrendous weather many events have sadly had to cancel :-(

But this weekend is one of my favourite events, Badminton!

Apart from the horses, the excitement of the event itself and the amazing shopping that's always on offer, eventing is also a great time to showcase some fab outfits, as well as there being a fashion focus on the 'Trot up' nowadays, with a 'Best Dressed' award for the best turned out rider.

I've put together a few different looks inspired by the season ahead, a few may well surprise you.

I've really focussed on being comfortable, yet stylish, whilst still being totally practical for the event itself. I cannot stress enough how important comfortable shoes/boots are. I always pack my Fairfax & Favor boots (naturally) and a pair of welly boots, because like a good girl guide you should always be prepared and especially for the course walk- you need to be comfy, I also love a pair of trainers or converse too if the ground is dry enough!

Layers- Needless to say, you cannot predict the weather, especially this time of year, so you do have to cover every eventuality. I usually tend to opt for a nice jacket, with a roll neck underneath and a vest or cami, which means that if it's cold I'm well layered or if it's hot, I can strip off and still look smart. Another essential is a good waterproof, and I always turn to Welligogs, who have some fab waterproof and wax jackets, which not only keep you warm and dry, they are super stylish too.

Here are some of the looks I've put together for the upcoming season, including a couple of more casual outfits (Trainers-weather permitting!)
