HOW TO LOOK YOUR BEST IN BREECHES & JODHPURS

POINTERS FOR EVERYONE

*Don’t underestimate the power of a tucked-in shirt. Regardless of your unique body shape, an untucked shirt will make you appear shabby.

*Pay attention to the fabric. Breeches and jodhpurs made from good quality material will help hide imperfections and provide a more structured silhouette.

*Wear a belt. Always.

*If wearing full-seat breeches or jodhpurs, ensure the seat is a darker colour than the pant. This has a magical slimming effect.

TOP-HEAVEY RIDERS

*It can be a struggle to find well-fitting breeches if you have thinner legs and a larger waist. Try pull-on breeches and jodhpurs. The extra stretch in the waistband will allow the pants to fit your midsection without being baggy in the legs.

*Denim breeches and riding jeans are a great alternative. The material provides structure and shape, keeping everything where it should be.

*Try Peter Williams Ladies Denim Breeches - Roses.

BOTTOM-HEAVY RIDERS

*Purchase breeches and jodhpurs with a side seam. The long, vertical line of a side seam make legs appear thinner and longer.

*Splurge on more expensive breeches and jodhpurs, as cheaper brands tend to stretch out of shape and go saggy.

*Go for contrasting full seat breeches as they’re more slimming than knee-patch breeches.

*Avoid low-rise waists which are prone to sag. Instead, go for a mid-rise fit. These breeches draw the eye upwards.

*Brighter colours on larger sizes can look amazing.

UP-&-DOWN RIDERS

*Breeches and jodhpurs with pockets add more shape to your seat.

*You may find pull-on tights are a great alternative.

*High-waisted breeches will create the illusion of curves.

*Try Peter Williams Dressage Breeches.
