Quality And Style With Zara Phillips Clothing

By Marissa Velazquez


The Zara Phillips clothing range is a result of a collaboration between the daughter of Princess Ann and a brand that has existed since 1965. The Musto brand was developed by Keith Musto, an Olympic sailor and engineer. He was looking for a garment that offered protection against the elements for sailors. Princess Ann, a keen sailor, wore this brand and introduced her daughter to these garments.

The Musto brand has been around since 1965 and was developed by Olympic sailor, Keith Musto. He was also an engineer and his aim was to construct garments that could withstand the elements, keeping sailors warm and dry. The garments were well known to the daughter of Princess Ann. Her mother has always loved sailing and wore this brand of protective clothing.

Who better to collaborate with the development of a range of equestrian products than someone who had made a name for herself in this popular sport? In 2009 an announcement was made that Phillips was to be involved in producing a range of equestrian garments for Musto. These products would carry the logo ZP176, which was the team number she rode under when first representing Britain.

This accomplished rider could bring all her practical experience to bear on every aspect of production, from design to testing. She wanted designs that allowed for complete freedom of movement but were stylish at the same time. Rigorous testing was performed with regards to style and fit.

The range includes a number of jackets as well as a polo shirt and a gilet. These jackets are all about practicality in training rather than functioning at the forefront of fashion trends. The cuts are classically stylish and are perfectly acceptable for wearing in public without embarrassment. The collection even includes some caps.

The fabrics used for all of these items are technologically advanced, making them waterproof, breathable and windproof. The outer fabric has a water repellent finish, preventing rain from penetrating the garment. An inner lining forces moisture trapped inside through the garment and out, keeping the wearer warm and dry.

One can purchase this range from a number of suppliers. Going online enables one to compare garments by examining photographs and descriptions. Once a decision has been made, color and size must be selected.

The quirky features on these garments are all designed to add to their practicality, such as a hood that can be adjusted or removed, hand warmer pockets lined with micro fleece and adjustable studs. A vent at the back of the garment means that it sits well over the saddle and a double zipper in front with a pommel flap prevents bunching up.

The Zara Phillips clothing range combines the expertise acquired by the Musto brands over many years with the practical experience of this daughter of Princess Ann and very successful equestrian. The range produced is of superior quality, with designs allowing for freedom of movements and fabrics that are waterproof and breathable.
