Equestrian style fashion?

Do any of you have thoughts on the 'equestrian style' fashion stuff that's been going around lately?<br><br>I'm not sure how I feel about it. It's weird to see my friend's getting tall boots and wearing them with tan pants or a navy blazer and jeans lol<br>A few months ago when I went to the store in my barn clothes I would get the WEIRDEST looks. Now, I go in my barn clothes and get "Where'd you get those boots?! They're so nice!" and "Where'd you find those leggings?!"<br><br>This was conversation I had with a lady at Starbucks when I stopped in there on my way to a show a few weeks ago:<br><br>*me, standing in line to get coffee*<br>Lady: Excuse me?<br>Me: Yes?<br>Lady: Where'd you get those boots? I just love them!<br>Me: *assuming the lady is a horse person* I got them at 'so-and-so' Tack Shop.<br>Lady: I've never heard of that. Is it in a mall around here? <br>Me: O.O no, it's an equestrian store.<br>Lady: Oh. How much were they?<br>Me: $300 I believe.<br>Lady: $300?! I would never pay that much for fake leather!<br>Me: They're show boots. I ride horses. They aren't just for walking around in.<br>Lady: Well they're still adorable, especially with your nude color leggings!<br>Me: Oh, my breeches?<br>Lady: Yeah, your leggings! <br>Me: >.> thanks...<br><br><br>No. Stop that.

  • Went through much the same thing when I was a teenager with "cowboy" look. I got strange looks wearing my boots and button up shirts when everyone else was wearing penny loafers or flats with polo shirts or sneakers with holey jeans and oversized sweaters. Then suddenly, everyone was a cowboy or at least cowboy wanna be. I think the song "I was country when country wasn't cool" came out shortly before the cowboy craze. LOL<br><br>I think Goths had the same type of fade where everyone thought they were odd and then it got popular, as did hippies, punk rockers, emo, etc. It's something that happens all the time.

  • I ride western, not english, but there is a little bit of that going around for western too! It's kinda crazy. <br>xD Wow. That conversation was...enlightening, if that's a good word for it. xD
  • Around here everyone wants to be country. Ive seen girls who are terrified of getting dirty wearing summer dresses with cowboy boots. I swear! Id love to put on of them on Rosie and see how far they got with her!
