Deconstructing the DNA of equestrian-inspired looks – your horse girl aesthetic study guide.
Riding boots are a given start when building a bona fide horse girl look. Think of the buckled Hermès Jumping Boots, and just like with the brand’s most renowned piece, the Birkin bag, these should appear visibly worn, and not seem like they are a cherished showpiece. Sleek, minimal, or slightly embellished with buckles or equestrian-style straps, the boots should be knee-high, regardless of the reigning climate of your hemisphere.

Tailored silhouettes for true equestrians mean freedom of movement. For the rest of us cosplaying off-duty showjumpers, they mean feminine accentuated silhouettes in a variety of tantalising textures. Riding jackets, jodhpurs (stylised or functionally equestrian), balloon-sleeve blouses, and waistcoats cinched at the waist all add formality and structure to the off-the-track interpretation of the look.
