There’s just something about equestrian-inspired layers that always feel timeless, a mix of tailored structure, polished details, and that effortless “put-together” look we love for fall. From crisp blazers to tall boots and soft knits, layering is key to achieving the perfect balance of strength and sophistication.
This season, I’m embracing refined, countryside-inspired textures with a modern twist, cozy knits, structured tailoring, and just the right touch of femininity. Whether you’re layering over denim or pairing a tulle skirt with riding boots, these equestrian layers make everyday outfits feel elevated and ready for any fall occasion.
And with Black Friday deals already rolling in, it’s the perfect time to take advantage of the sales and shop these looks while the best pieces are still in stock.
Each outfit is fully clickable via my LTK collages, so you can shop the exact pieces and affordable alternatives instantly.
