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 technically a princess. She is the eldest granddaughter of Queen Elizabeth, the Queen of Britain. She doesn't have an official title because her father, Captain Mark Phillips, does not have a title and being descended from royalty through the maternal line doesn't grant a person the right to a title. However, even though her parents tried to give her and her brother Peter a normal childhood, there's no denying their blue blood. After all, Granny and Gramps live in a place called Buckingham Palace and Prince Charles was the one who chose her name.

The Queen's granddaughter did extremely well at school, going on to qualify as a physiotherapist. She's also been very sporty throughout her life and took part in various sports while at school. For a while her rebellious antics were wonderful tabloid fodder but since she's married rugby player Mike Tindall and especially now that they're expecting a child, she seems to have settled down and has become the graceful young woman that a princess should be.

Both Princess Anne and Captain Mark Phillips were champion riders. In fact, Princess Anne was the first member of the royal family to represent her country at the Olympic Games, in Montreal in 1976. It was inevitable that their daughter would follow in their footsteps and she was world champion in eventing for a while. She also won a silver medal at the London Olympics in 2012.

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.

In 2010, the talented royal decided to add to her accomplishments. She's now a clothes designer too. Her range does not include the frilly dresses one would associate with royalty but instead is aimed at equestrians.

The ZP176 range got its name from Zara's team number, which she received upon representing Britain for the first time. Naturally an equestrian champion will know what riders would want in their clothes and her designs are functional and practical, yet she doesn't compromise on style. They include staples such as jackets, chaps, socks, neck tubes and headbands.

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.
