How to Stay Comfortable and Stylish in the Saddle: Top Apparel Tips for Riders
As an equestrian, you know that your riding apparel needs to do more than just look good—it has to keep you comfortable through long days of training, competitions, and barn work. At Divine Equestrian, we understand the unique demands of the equestrian lifestyle, which is why we design clothing that offers the perfect balance of style, comfort, and durability. From our sun shirts to our performance-driven leggings and breeches, here's how to stay both comfortable and stylish in the saddle.
1. Choose Breathable Fabrics for All-Day Comfort
Nothing is worse than feeling weighed down or overheated while riding. That’s why we prioritize lightweight, moisture-wicking fabrics in all of our performance tops. Our Sweet Lady Sun Shirts and Chic Athletic Shirts are made with breathable material that draws sweat away from your skin, allowing it to evaporate quickly so you stay cool and dry even during long rides or barn chores.
Both our sun shirts and athletic shirts are ideal for layering, offering flexibility in all seasons. They provide great ventilation in the heat, and when layered under a jacket, they serve as the perfect base for cooler weather.
2. Prioritize Durability in Your Riding Bottoms
Your riding bottoms are exposed to a lot—dirt, dust, mud, and the inevitable wear and tear of barn life. That’s why durable materials are key. Our Comfort Grip Leggings are made with a reinforced design that stands up to everyday use. These leggings also feature a flattering high waistband and a comfort grip system at the knees, giving you added support and security in the saddle without compromising comfort.
If you're looking for a polished, professional look, our Dignified Competition Breeches are a must. Designed with sleek lines and a tailored fit, they provide excellent stretch for movement, along with moisture-wicking fabric to keep you cool during intense competition days. The best part? They're durable enough to withstand daily wear but elegant enough for even the most formal competitions.
3. Accessorize with Functionality and Style
A great outfit doesn’t stop at tops and bottoms—accessories play a big role in completing your look and adding functionality. Our Comfort Fit Belts are a versatile option, designed with elastic to fit all sizes. These one-size-fits-all belts ensure a snug, comfortable fit without pinching or restricting movement. Plus, their sleek design makes them easy to pair with any outfit, whether you’re schooling or competing.
4. Elevate Your Saddle with Premium Pads
No rider’s outfit is complete without considering their horse’s comfort as well. Our Sovereign Saddle Pads are not just designed for aesthetics—they offer top-tier performance too. The breathable, moisture-wicking fabric helps prevent overheating, while the sleek design adds a touch of sophistication to any ride. Whether you’re schooling or showing, your horse will thank you for the added comfort.
At Divine Equestrian, we believe in creating apparel that helps you look and feel your best while ensuring top performance. Discover the perfect balance of comfort and style with our collection today!
