Equestrian chic has galloped onto the scene for autumn! From Carolina Herrera's runway to Equus on Broadway to Carla Bruni Sarkozy on the cover of Vanity Fair... It's all about stallions and jodhpurs.

i've always been way too scared to actually get on a horse, but i'll all about equestrian-inspired pieces for fall, especially capelets and riding boots.
i've always loved this look. mixed in with basics it's super chic.
the boots are oh so lovely.
gucci, yes please!
Oh my...you've just reminded me how very, very much I want a pair of riding boots this season.
Holaaa a mi esto de los caballos me gusta más o menos pero la verdad es que de las primeras fotos, el último vestido es genial.
Un besote!
Oh, I'm totally loving the horsies! That galactic horse tee is really cool!
Hi there-I adore the Gucci silver necklace and the Gucci boots-oh yes please!!
Horseback riding is fun but can't say I am much good at it. I almost ordered a pair of custom made riding boots from hermes years ago but luckily I had enough good sense to stop me!
I loved that boots! and the pink horse.... amazing!
I cannot believe how many times I just said "I want that", wow, what a fabulous collection. In particular I'll take the Smythe jacket, crane stationery and the pink horse (for starters).
lovely post always, always love the pictures, quite inspiring--love the smythe jacket and strutt rider pant.
Gosh! i have been eyeing those Gucci riding boots--wish it could just show up in my closet lol!
yay to gucci!
:)

Go down the page, there's one called summoning the storm which certainly inspired MM- it's from I think 1998, by David Penfound.
Thanks for telling me about this post:)
funny how many clothes and accessories which are inspired by horses! i liked a lot of the outfits ( and i'm not even very fond of horses, they are a bit scary!), and especially the Gucci leather knee high boots! Love them! And i wouldn't say no to the saddle bag from Woodland!
It's official... Giselle couldn't be hotter!! I love equestrian boots and cardigans.
Hi there!

You would never get me on a horse (scary!)but those boots are great! And I love the little illustration!
in LOVE with the grey blazer and the gucci boots...oh, the love. great post, as usual :)
scarves are as horsey as a horse like me can get ;)
Love the beige buttoned pants and the last pic of the boot!
;)!!!
I love the equestrian look! I purchased a black equestrian hat last year and wore it with a blazer and riding boots for a complete look.
I've never ridden a horse before, though, although I would really really like to.
That Gucci necklace is very glamourous. My fave..
Wooo, I love horses, they're one of my fav animals indeed *.*
That Comfort Station silver leaf horse pendant is so awesome!! love it(L)
Thanks for your comment :)
Byee

Brilliant finds...this is really funny, I was mentally composing a horse post last night...
I wish I looked that great back when I used to practice horseback riding! :D
I especially love the boots. And I know this wasn't mentioned, but I adore cowboy hats - what's with me and the cowboy obsession?
Rock on!

Ponies are the best, aren't they?
I love the Brooks Brothers scarf it's so chic and I must get my hands on a galactic stallion tee hehe it's so cool! I've never been a horse person, but I do love a bit of equestrian chic that's for sure!
my stepmom has an hermes scarf tht looks like the brooks brothers' one!
personally, my favorite equestrian-inspired piece is jodphurs.
Thanks for all the wonderful comments! we should do a link exchange!
I always appreciated riding clothes when I rode. I never wore the look outside the barn; it wasn't comfortable for me. It looks nice on the Gucci models, though.
Love the ecquestrian jacket!
pink ponies, this is the best! I love the equestrian look, I think it's so sexy on women. The boots and the jodhpurs especially! And of course the whip and the hat!
Equestrian is amazing. I love the boots, and I definitely want a pair of riding pants to match!
Love horses, and wild horses, OMG they're so beautiful.
But I'm so afraid of them, they really scare me.
But the equestrian look is very cool.
Great work CC
xoxo
I'm salivating over a whole bunch of your finds here.
That grey jacket is amazing!

LOVE the Hermes ad! It's so chic it hurts! Loved the netting and I simply adored that Lady Luck Rules dress! It's so cute!

Ooo! I just did a piece about equestrian inspired clothes. Love it!
