I lusted after the Vintage Ladies Competition Shirt from Equus Couture for a number of months before I finally hit that purchase button. I love this shirt so much, I needed to give it a review so more of you can see exactly what your missing! It is a stunning piece of equestrian fashion and feels very couture (as you would expect from the company). It is so very different than anything else on the market and when you wear it, you feel like you’re wearing something very special…not just a simple shirt.
A sheer vintage fabric covers the top of the shirt and a more structured fabric makes up the body of the shirt, with yet a third fabric in the sleeve and button details. Beautiful vintage styled buttons accent the shirt and the pleating on the sleeve and ruffles add a very soft and feminine touch. The grey is neutral, classically elegant and unique at the same time. This shirt stands out in the crowd of the sportier shirts that are so popular right now and they don’t look like they belong in the same century, and I’m totally happy about that. I have gotten a number of compliments at shows on this shirt and if jackets are waived I have no concern going without a jacket as this shirt is so sharp. It has also translated well to street style and no one is the wiser that it is a show shirt and it draws compliments anywhere it goes.
I personally love this shirt and recommend it if you’re looking for something special to help you stand out in the show ring (or just let you feel special).
