The new Equestrian Collection from Massimo Dutti for AW13 is perfect in its distillation of everything that is elegant, aspirational and glamorous about equestrian chic style a la Betty Draper, Jackie Onassis, Grace Kelly and her great grand-daughter and Gucci muse Charlotte Casiraghi. Working for a major equestrian apparel brand, it's interesting to see this continued adoption by mainstream fashion of a style that riding clothes have moved away from in recent years in favour of more advanced fabrics and clothing styled for athletes. As a rider I am very slowly letting go of my attachment to my traditional, made-to-measure tweed hacking jacket and considering a more sporty competition jacket and I love that the elegance of old fashioned equestrian style continues to be relevant and accesible with this collection.
