Channeling Old Money Riding Chic with Capall Cardigans

How to Style Capall’s Sleeveless Black & Long-Sleeve Forest Green Cardigans

There’s something irresistible about the old money aesthetic—think countryside estates, tailored trousers, leather-bound everything, and that effortless polish that whispers rather than shouts. At Capall, we believe this style pairs beautifully with the heart of equestrian life: tradition, elegance, and a deep appreciation for quality craftsmanship.

This winter season, we’re spotlighting two of our most versatile staples:
🖤 Our sleeveless black cardigan and 🌲 our long-sleeve forest green cardigan.
Both timeless. Both endlessly wearable. Both made to embody quiet luxury—whether you're at the stables or in the city.

Here’s how to style them for that signature “I-ride-on-weekends” look, even when your agenda says errands or coffee—and especially when your day does include time in the saddle.


Look 1: The Old Money Riding Look (Even If You’re Not on a Horse Today)

This is where heritage meets fashion. It’s all about structure, neutral tones, and textures that tell a story.

Start with a crisp base:
A classic white button-down or a slim-fitting knit top works beautifully under both cardigans. The key is simplicity and structure.

Layer up:

  • Sleeveless black cardigan? Wear it buttoned up with a belt for shape, or open and layered under a tailored trench.

  • Forest green long-sleeve? Perfect over a collared shirt with the cuffs and hem peeking out.

Pair with:

  • Beige jodhpurs or straight-leg cream trousers for that “polo match at noon” vibe

  • Knee-high riding boots or polished Chelsea boots

  • A brown leather belt and a slim gold watch (no logos, no fuss)

Top it off with:
A low bun, tortoiseshell sunglasses, and a structured tote. If it feels like you could walk into a Cotswolds estate or a country club unnoticed, you’ve nailed it.


Look 2: In the Saddle — Practical, Polished, Perfectly Styled

We designed our Capall cardigans with riders in mind—and it shows in the little things.

Our sleeveless black cardigan is perfectly cropped above the beltline, eliminating the need for awkward tucking or constant adjusting while you ride. Throw it on after a winning round and you’re instantly clubhouse-ready. Paired with our patterned long-sleeve show shirt, the high-neck collar pops against the deep V of the cardigan—effortlessly stylish for post-show drinks or team photos by the arena.

For early morning rides, reach for our forest green long-sleeve cardigan. It layers beautifully over our everyday polo neck riding top, with the deep green providing a striking contrast to the crisp white collar. Warm enough to take the chill off without adding bulk, it’s the ultimate functional fashion for those first laps around the arena.


Look 3: Quiet Luxury for Everyday Wear

Old money style doesn’t have to live only at the stables. Here’s how to weave your Capall pieces into your daily wardrobe.

For a Coffee Run or Casual Day

  • Sleeveless black cardigan:

    • Style it over a white tee or silk cami

    • Tuck into high-waist trousers or dark jeans

    • Add pointed loafers or minimalist sneakers for ease

    • Drape it over your shoulders for an instant “editor off-duty” moment

  • Forest green long-sleeve cardigan:

    • Layer over a soft cream turtleneck or slim-fit tee

    • Pair with tailored slacks or even a midi skirt

    • Add a leather crossbody, a pair of flats, and gold hoop earrings for a polished finish

💡 Styling tip: Belt the forest green cardigan at the waist for a blazer-like silhouette that’s both flattering and refined.


Fabric, Fit & Finishing Touches

Old money styling is all about the details. Think:

  • Natural fabrics (wool, cotton, cashmere)

  • Clean lines, pressed seams, and polished shoes

  • A subtle gold earring or watch—never loud, always intentional

  • Layers that work together, not compete

Taking the time to tuck your shirt just right, to polish your boots, to lint-roll your knit—that’s the energy.


Why It Works

Both Capall cardigans are designed to blend equestrian elegance with modern versatility. Whether you're headed to the stable, the office, or brunch, these pieces ground your outfit in timeless style. They move with you, layer effortlessly, and keep you looking polished from arena to afterparty.

They’re not trend-driven—they’re legacy-built.
