What makes a rider stand out in an arena full of horses? What makes you look from afar, when you see an exhibitor, and say, “Wow?” [From a fashion standpoint] the answer is: color.
We already talked about black, red, and there is no doubt about blue being THE colour of 2018. But what about teal? Teal is spreading around fast. It’s pretty difficult to find teal base jackets and vests. You will mostly see black, grey, blue and white bases with a lot of teal accents and airbrushing. But there are more riders showing in teal button down shirts.
Teal is not one of the “classic” colors you would expect to see in the show pen. It’s a fresh, summer color that recalls sea and tropical islands. It is exotic, but not too much. It can easily liven up a black outfit and can be worn by every rider, no matter the age or the level. Black pads with teal (and purple) patterns are also a must have!
Certainly teal will be part of my Ranch Riding color palette this year, both for my pad and shirts.
I love teal, and I think we will see it a lot this show season! Do you also love it as much as I do?
