Tally ho! Equestrian inspired fashion is a huge trend for AW. From the high street up, there are winning interpretations of the classic riding boot to be found. The genius of this style is how utterly polished it makes any outfit.

The longer ‘over the knee’ length riding boot long is a stronger statement, play with proportions by teaming with a voluminous cape coat.
