Try Zara Phillips Clothing For Riding In Style

By Alyce Powell


Think of the British aristocracy and you probably think of horses. It seems that you cannot be a member of the royal family if you haven't been born right there in he saddle. However, not many people think of riding as the setting for some of the great British fashion moments. Riders tend to dress in drab-looking outfits when they're out on horseback. With the range of Zara Phillips clothing, however, it's possible to look stylish without having to compromise on the comfort you need in the saddle.

Zara Phillips is a true British blue-blood. Her mother is Princess Anne, the only daughter of Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip. Because her father, Captain Mark Phillips, does not own a title, neither does Zara or her brother Peter. This doesn't mean that they're just like anyone else, though, even if their parents tried to raise them to have their feet planted firmly on the ground. After all, it was her uncle, Prince Charles, who chose her first name and a visit to Granny meant going to Buckingham Palace.

As she grew up, Princess Anne's daughter quickly showed that she was highly gifted. She did exceptionally well in school and was also great at sports. A rebellious phase made her a tabloid favorite but the qualified physiotherapist has since settled down with Mike Tindall, an English rugby player. They're currently expecting a child.

Princess Anne and her first husband Captain Mark Phillips shared a love of horse-riding. Princess Anne even represented Britain at the Olympic Games, in horse-riding events at the 1976 Montreal Olympics. The princess and Captain Phillips' daughter followed in their equestrian footsteps and became an accomplished rider in her own right. When she won a silver medal at the 2012 Olympics in London, it was her mother who presented her with her medal.

In the past, Zara wasn't usually admired for her fashion sense. Like her mother, she didn't really care for dressing up and her choices of outfit at times made her the target for very nasty comments by the tabloids. However, in recent years she's had style watchers speechless in awe at the gorgeous ensembles, fit for a princess, that she would put together.

With a growing interest in fashion, it was inevitable that the young royal would try her hand at designing clothes. Not for her, however, the dainty little dresses that one would expect from a princess. She chose instead to create sporty outfits and naturally her line, which has been available since 2010, focuses on equestrian clothing.

The team number that Zara was given when she first qualified to represent the United Kingdom at international equestrian events has inspired the name for her range. It is called ZP176 and wearing pieces from the line might bring you luck, since the designer was world champion for a while. Because she knows what works for riders, her clothes are practical and comfortable but still stylish. The range includes jackets, riding t-shirts, socks, headbands, caps, chaps and neck tubes.

If you'd like to own some Zara Phillips clothing, you'll find it through Musto Outdoor Clothing. The company is based in England and specializes in outdoor and sports clothing. They have shops in the UK and you can also order online.
