When  Ariat offered me the opportunity to showcase their Two24 collection, I’ll admit I was a bit hesitant at first.  Ariat is an authentic horsemanship brand featuring serious riding boots for serious riders.  I haven’t been on a horse in nearly four decades.  How could I do justice to this company?  But you know me – I’ll try just about anything once.  I was thrilled to give it a go.

First off, I found my initial perception was just a small part of this multi-faceted apparel company.  Yes, Ariat is known for high quality (and highly comfortable) boots catering to both English and Western riding styles.  But they also feature among others things, casual shoes, an athletic line and a really pretty collection of clothing for festival season.

I chose a classic English riding boot because I wanted to show its versatility: a lacey tunic and white pants aren’t “riding attire” but they look great with my Pamplona Ariats in Bay Brown.  So do skinny jeans and leggings.  I’m sure they’ll be great with a long skirt as well.  The clean lines of the Pamplona make it adaptable to so many looks.  I love the extra buckle, but it’s removable if you’d like a more streamlined look.

I really love my new Ariats, which proves you don’t have to ride horses to appreciate the brand.

Thank you Ariat for sponsoring this post.
