Riding High and Hanging Higher - Equestrian Chic!

Didn’t you just LOVE Seabiscuit?! Okay, us neither… But we *did* love the peplum coats and form fitting outfits that are popular in the equestrian arena! It’s time for jockey fashion to make a comeback this year as MON MODE  sees many designers moving toward an equestrian aesthetic.

Coltish Collections

This outfit is full of mustang magnetism! While Binetti pants and Ariat boots give your bottom half a fresh and sporty feel, the Tommy Hilfiger jacket pulls everything together with smooth sophistication!

For something a little more down-to-earth, check out this filly fashion; Smythe wool blazer with elbow patches, Barbour vest, Hermes shirt/jodhpurs, Tommy Hilfiger scarf, and Hunter boots!

The only thing that’s missing from this look is a stylish saddle bag and MON MODE, your favorite must-have designer purse hanger!

Andalusian Accessories

With these spats (put over the above Ariat boots), Donna Karan pays homage to the equestrian influence, using two tone neutrals to bring the design to life. I wouldn’t wear these to the clubs, ladies, but they are perfect for your next Ascot or garden party!

You can’t just wear the boots and expect to get the full effect, so be creative! Pair them with this Hermes riding helmet or a set of Perrin Paris leather gloves to compliment the look, and you’re one step closer to riding high this season!

But how are you going to *ride* high if you’re not *hanging* high!? Complete this sophisticated look with a smart accessory like MON MODE compact hangers. With this chic new girl gadget there is no limit to the heights that fashion will hurdle you!
