What’s Your Equestrian Competition Style?

What’s Your Equestrian Competition Style?

Girly, Classic, or Old Money – which one are you?

When it comes to show day, your outfit speaks before you even enter the ring. Whether you’re all about bows and sparkle, quiet countryside elegance, or timeless luxury, your competition style is a reflection of your personality in the saddle. At Capall, we believe equestrian wear should be as expressive as it is functional—so we’ve created three signature looks that celebrate the riders who dress with intention.

Not sure where you fall? Let’s break down the three signature Capall styles: Girly, Classic, and Old Money. From glitter sleeves to silk bows and crisp cardigans, discover which competition style fits you best—and how to own it like a champion.

The Girly Style Rider

You ride in your feminine power—graceful, confident, and unapologetically stylish. From sparkles to soft textures, you love pieces that let your elegance shine. For you, looking polished is part of the performance—because winning feels even better in bows and glitter.

Your Signature Look Includes:

  • Glitter sleeves with structured cufflink detailing

  • A soft, feminine competition shirt with lace, ruffles, or a high frill collar

  • Diamanté accents on your jodhpurs, boots, gloves, and crop

  • The Capall Victory Sash – exaggerated feminine silhouette 

  • Hair bows in your braid or bun (bonus points for matching your saddle pad)

  • Soft pink, blush, or cream base layers with subtle shimmer

  • Pearl or hoop earrings under your helmet

  • Velvet or satin scrunchies for warm-ups or casual rides

  • A statement belt with gold hardware or delicate stitching

  • Crystal-studded spurs or spur straps for a feminine edge

  • Decorative pins or brooches on your lapel or cardigan

  • White or pastel gloves 

  • A clutch or mini leather handbag for around the showgrounds

  • A satin saddle pad or subtle shimmer bonnet

  • Riding crop crystal finish at the handle

💬 Your vibe: “Elegance with a sparkle.”
💖 Your motto: “Ride with style. Win with grace.”

The Classic Rider

You gravitate toward timeless elegance and the quiet confidence of English countryside style. High necklines, quality knits, and classic colours like forest green, navy, cream, and charcoal fill your wardrobe. Your style is subtle but intentional—letting refined textures and thoughtful details do the talking. You favour tailored silhouettes and luxurious simplicity over loud statements.

Your Signature Style:

  • High-neck shirts with discreet structure and clean lines

  • Capall’s patterned show shirt layered under a sleek sleeveless black cardigan

  • Rich knitwear that feels as good as it looks—often in cable, rib, or fine merino textures

  • Muted tones that speak to heritage: forest green, navy, ivory, taupe, charcoal

  • A plain leather belt with understated hardware—worn cinched or simply tucked

  • Silver or pewter jewellery – minimalist studs, slim chains, or engraved signet-style rings

  • Leather gloves, reins, bridlework, and accessories—soft, durable, and timeless

  • Neutral-toned riding socks, possibly ribbed or subtly patterned

  • Structured tote bag or satchel in waxed canvas or saddle leather

  • Brushed cotton or wool scarf, perfect for layering at early-morning warmups

  • Classic saddle pad in navy, grey or cream—unbranded or delicately piped
  • Hair neatly tucked, tied with a small tortoiseshell clip or neutral scrunchie

  • Minimalist water bottle, notebook or grooming kit in tonal shades—nothing flashy, all quality

🌿 Your vibe: Understated. Cultured. Confident without needing to try.
🐎 Your motto: “Refinement is never out of style.”

The Old Money Rider

You have a taste for the finer things in life—and it shows. Luxury is your language, and you seek it in every detail: from the horse you ride to the stitching on your cardigan. Your style doesn’t shout—it whispers: through timeless cuts, classic tailoring, and impeccable fabrics like silk, cashmere, and structured knits. You're drawn to heritage design, neutral palettes, and the kind of finish only the discerning truly notice.

Your Signature Style Includes:

  • Soft silk show shirts, lace accents, and polo necks layered with ease

  • Capall’s bow-line shirt under the forest green cardigan—a refined nod to tradition

  • Muted tones like ivory, taupe, olive, navy, charcoal, and bone

  • Monochrome or tonal layering, finished with gold stitching or piping

  • Structured cardigans and luxury knitwear that drape just right

  • Fine leather belts with gold-plated or vintage brass buckles

  • Gold accents in hardware, buttons, stirrups, and minimalist jewellery

  • Mesh and lace inserts for breathability and refinement

  • Capall silk scarves, either knotted at the neck, tied to belt loops, or placed in the hair

  • Pearl or signet-style earrings, subtly worn beneath a classic helmet

  • Fragrance sachets or pressed linen handkerchiefs tucked into a tack bag

  • Wool-blend socks in earthy, sophisticated tones (deep green, burgundy, bone)

  • Vintage-inspired grooming brushes or brass-trimmed tack care tools

  • Slim, leather riding notebooks or embossed competition planners

  • Classic monogrammed raincoat or trench for pre-ring strolls

🍂 Your vibe: Polished. Reserved. Effortlessly prestigious.
🐎 Your motto: “Quiet confidence, timeless taste.”
