Ride In Style With Zara Phillips Clothing

By Alyce Powell


Many people associate the upper classes of Britain with horses. Riding is indeed something that most members of the aristocracy enjoy. Unfortunately, the idea of a female equestrian doesn't conjure up images of a leader in the fashion stakes. It doesn't have to be this way, luckily. Zara Phillips clothing, for one, bring a sense of style to horsemanship without compromising on comfort.

Zara Phillips is technically a princess. She is the eldest granddaughter of Queen Elizabeth, the Queen of Britain. She doesn't have an official title because her father, Captain Mark Phillips, does not have a title and being descended from royalty through the maternal line doesn't grant a person the right to a title. However, even though her parents tried to give her and her brother Peter a normal childhood, there's no denying their blue blood. After all, Granny and Gramps live in a place called Buckingham Palace and Prince Charles was the one who chose her name.

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.

Princess Anne and Captain Phillips were both horse-riding champions. Captain Phillips won a gold medal at the Munich Olympics in 1972 and four years later his wife became the first royal to represent her country at an Olympic event, this time in Montreal. Their daughter kept up the family tradition by becoming a world champion and winning a silver medal at the London Olympics.

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.

In 2010, the talented royal decided to add to her accomplishments. She's now a clothes designer too. Her range does not include the frilly dresses one would associate with royalty but instead is aimed at equestrians.

The range is known as ZP176. This is the number that Zara used the first time she rode for her country. Her experience as an equestrian champion means that she knows just what riders need so her clothes focus on function, comfort and practicality. However, they're stylish too. The range includes items such as jackets, socks, caps, headbands, neck tubes and chaps.

If you'd like to own some Zara Phillips clothing, you'll find it through Musto Outdoor Clothing. The company is based in England and specializes in outdoor and sports clothing. They have shops in the UK and you can also order online.
