Every season invariably has its take on equestrian fashion. Sometimes it’s a sole element, last spring’s jodhpurs as daywear for instance, other times its thematic. Those other times include summer 2011, a season for which Spanish and Western equestrian are the dominant styles and the house of Hermes’s spring 2011 collection their main instigator. Yet for all the collection’s brilliance it offered up something heavily equestrian and heavily thematic. How then to style the look for every day? This way.

Coincidentally snapped on a street of Barcelona, the brimmed hat, bought from a costume store, perfectly alludes to the trend without any of the theatrics nor the need for other equestrian pieces. The rest of the look is finished off with clothing that is anything but equestrian: the skirt is Witchery and the bag is from Esprit.

This look was snapped by Tatel Velasquez.

Late one Oxford night Daniel P Dykes set about creating a fashion publication that would go someway to being an arbiter on fashion as it appeals to the emerging power generations: those who don't remember a world without the Internet and for whom work plays second fiddle to pleasure. And so Fashionising.com was born as a publication for those who were focussed not just on fashion's trends, but on society's too, and how those trends could all go to heighten the art of living. Hence, Daniel sees a future where, for those young at heart, both fashion and style are grounded in traditional quality, but with a youthful, sensualised edge. Daniel is Fashionising.com's Editor in Chief and Chairman.
