Zara Phillips Clothing Offers Comfort And Style

By Marissa Velazquez


The Zara Phillips clothing range is a result of a collaboration between the daughter of Princess Ann and a brand that has existed since 1965. The Musto brand was developed by Keith Musto, an Olympic sailor and engineer. He was looking for a garment that offered protection against the elements for sailors. Princess Ann, a keen sailor, wore this brand and introduced her daughter to these garments.

The development of a range of equestrian garments by Musto was just a matter of time. Like sailors, riders too are exposed to the elements and need to remain as warm and dry as possible. Phillips was a great ambassador for the brand and her collaboration in production of this range was a logical one. She is known on the world stage for her equestrian successes, including winning the Eventing World Championship in 2006 and a silver medal at the Olympics in 2012.

As an ambassador for the Musto products, it was inevitable that Phillips would collaborate with the brand to produce an equestrian range. The logo of the range is ZP176. This was the team number she wore when representing Britain for the first time.

With all her practical experience in the field, she had a great contribution to make at every stage of production. In the design stage, freedom of movement was considered to be vital and innovations were made to ensure this. She tweaked a few things such as putting in a longer cut for the jackets so the back would not be exposed when riding in the elements. She also wanted garments to be as stylish as possible, regarding the cut as important. All items were thoroughly tested to ensure that they functioned flawlessly, despite the circumstances.

The items include various jackets like one which is fleece lined, one that is suitable for training and another hooded one. There is also a gilet and a t-shirt. The range was launched in 2010 and have become so popular that a range for children has also been introduced since then.

Waterproof jackets provide reassuring protection on early morning rides, whether it is raining or not. The rain is kept out by a water repellent finish and taped seams. The fabrics used are breathable too, enabling any body moisture to be wicked out.

There are a number of suppliers selling these products and browsing online websites offers an opportunity to compare products and prices. A reputable company should be chosen and reading online reviews written by satisfied customers is one method of determining reliability. Choosing the correct size is important and sizing guides are provided. There are also a range of colors from navy and black to orange and red to select from.

These garments have developed over the years and now include many features that add to their performance. They may have well positioned pockets for warming up hands. Vents in the back help with a comfortable fit over the saddle. Studs and adjustable drawstrings can help to ensure a snug fit.

The decision to combining the expertise of the Musto brand with the practical experience of a dedicated equestrian to produce the Zara Phillips clothing range was inspirational. These garments are extremely comfortable, keeping riders dry and warm in any conditions. However, at the same time the distinctive designs allow one to look stylish at the same time.
