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.

Both Princess Anne and Captain Mark Phillips were champion riders. In fact, Princess Anne was the first member of the royal family to represent her country at the Olympic Games, in Montreal in 1976. It was inevitable that their daughter would follow in their footsteps and she was world champion in eventing for a while. She also won a silver medal at the London Olympics in 2012.

In the past, Zara wasn't usually admired for her fashion sense. Like her mother, she didn't really care for dressing up and her choices of outfit at times made her the target for very nasty comments by the tabloids. However, in recent years she's had style watchers speechless in awe at the gorgeous ensembles, fit for a princess, that she would put together.

With a growing interest in fashion, it was inevitable that the young royal would try her hand at designing clothes. Not for her, however, the dainty little dresses that one would expect from a princess. She chose instead to create sporty outfits and naturally her line, which has been available since 2010, focuses on equestrian clothing.

The ZP176 range got its name from Zara's team number, which she received upon representing Britain for the first time. Naturally an equestrian champion will know what riders would want in their clothes and her designs are functional and practical, yet she doesn't compromise on style. They include staples such as jackets, chaps, socks, neck tubes and headbands.

Zara Phillips clothing is available through Musto Outdoor Clothing. The company's ranges, including ZP176, are available online. They deliver mainly to destinations in the UK and continental Europe but next time you're in England, you can also pop into one of their stores to get your very own bit of royal luxury.
