So, I thought that now would be a great time to share with you the 5 pieces that caught my eye.

This jacket was designed for the equestrian. It unzips to reveal an extended panel at the back so that you can ride outdoors comfortably. This panel allows the jacket to lay over the saddle while keeping your thighs protected. Which is very useful for those of us that like to go hacking even in questionable weather.

Other than the overall look and colours of this jacket, I also really appreciate the details. Such as the removable hood, the subtle logo, the inner cuffs and the zippable pockets. These are all details that I enjoy having in my jackets. After all, who wants their phone or keys falling out of their pockets just because they can’t be zipped closed? Not me!

I also believe that the Asmar Equestrian team chose the right colour tones for this collection. I think that most people will like them. Even I’m drawn to the pinks in this collection. And I normally stick to the blues and greens.

Just like the jacket, this vest also has zippered pockets. Allowing to keep things secure while you’re riding. The striped hem adds a touch of a sporty edge to the vest. I would also imagine that the hem is elasticated to help the vest stay in place while you ride.

Did I mention that the fabric is also anti-bacterial and has UPF 50 sun protection? Yeah, this item will be very useful in the summer months. Which, fingers crossed, arrive sooner rather than later.

The indigo colour is probably the one I would gravitate to first. But I would be apprehensive of wearing it in really warm weather just because of how dark it is in colour. I’m surprised that Asmar Equestrian didn’t make an aqua version of this shirt as well. I think that would’ve looked great and perfect for the summer.

The white version is super classic. It looks very clean and smart. Something that would be perfect to wear to a clinic or walking around the show grounds when you’re not competing. You can also easily dress it down for your lessons paired with your favourite jean breeches. The only downside with white is that it gets dirty pretty quickly around horses.

The breathable fabrics are also featured in this short-sleeved show shirt. The coloured panels of the Valette are made of a mesh material to allow for maximum airflow. Perfect for those hot competition days! Something that all riders will be greatly appreciate when standing in the sun all day.

The coloured panels also allow you to have a little fun with your style while still looking professional in the ring.

You don’t have to worry about this shirt gaping in between the buttons because there aren’t any. The Valette has a zipper instead. The collar of the shirt is also magnetic. This means that you won’t have to struggle to button up your collar when wearing it. In fact, you could easily detach the collar while still on horseback the minute you get out of the ring if you wanted to. That’s pretty handy for those of us who hate the feeling of collars wrapped around our necks.

But can I live without most of these items? Of course. Do I have to buy them? Not really. The problem is, I find myself trying to figure out how I can justify buying this shirt and adding it to my wardrobe. There’s just something special about this shirt that makes me want to take it home.

What truly draws me to this shirt are the little details. I love the ribbon of colour around the cuffs and down the back of the collar. It just makes the shirt stand out without losing its sophistication. I like to feel confident when I’m on the show grounds. I want to look like I take my riding seriously. Because I do. But I don’t want to get lost in the crowd either. As someone who likes fashion and follows fashion bloggers and vloggers, I appreciate equestrian brands that interpret fashion trends and styles into their collections. And this shirt is right up my alley.

The one negative I have for this shirt is that I find it a little logo heavy. Having the 3 logos (the badge on the back of the collar, the logo on the chest and the name printed on the back) is a bit much. I personally would’ve liked to see the logo on the chest removed. Or even printed in an off-white colour to make it more subtle.

So that’s the round up of my favourites from Asmar Equestrian's Spring/Summer collection for 2020. You can check out the whole collection here.
