the equestrian aesthetic is having a major moment. across new york and copenhagen fashion weeks, riding‑style boots, cinched blazers, bolo ties, and structured belts were omnipresent — a clear signal that the “horse girl” revival is not just a fad but a full stylistic charge. as glamor put it, “horse girl fall” weaves western workwear with equestrian elegance. in copenhagen, labels like the garment and mkdt studio leaned in heavily, and even baum und pferdgarten staged runway shows in stables.
in paris, hermès’s spring 2026 show leaned hard into saddle‑inspired codes. nadège vanhée reinterpreted equestrian tools — harnesses, corset leathers over jackets, quilted riding silhouettes — all in earthy tones of sand, olive, red, and black. riding boots appeared in nearly every look. leather harnesses held printed silk scarves, and structured belts redefined waistlines.

meanwhile, ralph lauren’s legacy of american equestrian chic returned, blending heritage tailoring with riding motifs. think sharply cut blazers cinched at the waist, riding pants, and bolo ties reimagined as feminine statement pieces.

for lovers of jewellery, this trend is a playground: horsebit motifs, stirrup‑inspired earrings, belt‑style bangles, and equestrian buckles in metals and leathers. layer a sculpted cuff over a leather glove, or let bolo tie chains cascade beneath a blazer.

from new york’s urban dust to copenhagen’s nordic minimalism and hermès’s luxe saddle room, the horse‑girl motif is everywhere. in 2026, the racetrack just became runway.
