Late fall always brings to mind more British and Equestrian style looks for me. The leaves are glowing in a vibrant array of colors and boots become a wardrobe staple. When I think of preppy equestrian and British countryside are what come to mind for me. Afterall, the whole preppy style vibe derived from wealth and educational status and what screams that more than a fox hunt or horseback ride through the English countryside?
As mentioned before, many of these preppy styles do overlap each other but I thought Equestrian and British Countryside were most similar to each other. With equestrian think jodhpurs with riding boots and horse bit accents in many pieces... whereas British Countryside is more tweed (though also in Equestrian pieces) with nods to local wildlife such as pheasant feathers being accented.
Equestrian Style incorporates staple horse-riding pieces with details in the styling such as horse bit accents and bridle designs. Brands that include this look would be Ralph Lauren and Holland Cooper, along with Fairfax and Favor and the details of the less affordable Hermes staple accessories. Ariat is also a great American brand carrying many great pieces that could work into this style, just be careful to not veer too far into the Western wear side.
Staples for both looks include: plaids, tweed, riding boots, argyle, and cable knits. Typically, outfits are in darker fall hues as well such as hunter greens, browns, and deep plums and blues.
Here are some looks that would fit this aesthetic. The outfit below incorporates jodhpurs with some other wardrobe basics such as a warm tone cashmere pullover top and a jean jacket with accessories such as an Hermes twilly scarf and two-toned riding boots.
