What’s Hot for 2009?
Over the years we’ve seen a number of styles and colors come and go, but we still have some standard looks that never grow old. For instance, a nice pair of black chaps….how could you go wrong? I’m not talking about cheap knock-offs or dingy, faded ones - just basic quality black chaps. This year I think we are going to see a whole lot of very vibrant looks. One aspect of an outfit that I think will be around for a very long time is the “bling“. Crystals are more popular than ever…..the more sparkle, the better. Having that extra bling doesn’t have to cost a fortune. If done tastefully, just about anyone can embellish an outfit with crystals and really make it pop in that show ring. Leather and ultrasuede accents are still very popular. We will continue to see many beautiful rail shirts and pleasure shirts with french cuffs that are adorned with wonderful accents to match the collar.
