Go Riding In Style And Comfort With Zara Phillips Clothing

By Alyce Powell


Horse-riding has always been a favorite pastime for the British upper classes. It is steeped in tradition but female riders also have a reputation for not exactly being leaders when it comes to fashion sense and style. You don't have to look drab when you're an equestrian, however. If you want to look and feel like royalty while enjoying a day out with the horses, you may want to consider investing in Zara Phillips clothing for style and comfort.

Zara Phillips is the eldest granddaughter of Queen Elizabeth of Britain. Her mother is the Princess Royal, Princess Anne, the Queen's only daughter. Her father is Captain Mark Phillips and because he never had a title in his own right, neither does she or her brother, Peter. The children's parents tried to give them a normal upbringing and while they are down to earth, their lives have never been normal. After all, normality is impossible if the person who gave you your name is your uncle, Prince Charles, and your grandparents live in 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.

Zara has never really been known for her sense of style. Sometimes her ensembles were so far off the fashion mark that the papers ridiculed her for it. She was, after all, a bit of a tomboy and was interested in things other than clothes. Lately she seems to have turned into the proverbial swan, however, and has won increasing praise for her style choices.

Since 2010, the Queen's first granddaughter has embarked on a different venture as clothing designer. However, she doesn't design little cocktail dresses that go with high-heeled shoes and handbags. Someone as sporty as her would prefer clothes for the great outdoors and her range is specifically for horse-riding.

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.
