Most embarrassing place your wear your riding clothes...

leigh1973 · Yearling

I've often gone places in my riding clothes where I've wished had a change of clothes. Usually, they are cafes, fast food resturants, or supermarkets. The most embarassing place, however, in which I wore my riding clothes was the airport (picking up a friend). Everyone was staring at me and several asked if I rode a horse to pick up my friend.

When I initially took my friend to the airport and we entered the terminal, some people thought I was going on the plane wearing my riding clothes. Who knows? Could start a new fashion trend...wear horse riding clothes for airplane rides.

Home, my boyfriend's mother thinks people who wear riding clothes look "funny" and that my boots aren't made of "real leather", and my cowboy hat is "stupid" evileye

I had to laugh, she gets LouLou fashion mag, and this seasons in look is "money bags" breeches and boots with a snaffle bit purse. Otherwise I can understand being out in public, my favorite Tim Hortons outfit is breeches with outragous boot socks and running shoes biggrin

LOL. That's awesome, sadly though as a friend of mine likes to say rather regularily..."useless without pics."

I don't give a tiny little bit of what people think about what I wear.
If I've been riding and need to go somewhere i don't think twice and go to the store or anything else in my riding clothes.
My husband always changes in something more acceptable but I can't be bothered - lol.

I pretty much wear my riding clothes everywhere! Restaurants, stores, groceries, movies... you name it! I don't really care what I look like but sometimes, when I'm at the restaurant, I feel bad for the customers around me because of the smell *ya, apparently horses smell!*. My family got use to it but it's not everybody's case biggrin

I often wear my riding clothes anywhere I might need to stop on the way to or from the barn. I can't say it embarrases me, although I probably don't smell very good on the way home. :) Once, at the drug store, a women stopped me and told me she loved my boots! I was wearing brown paddock boots and half chaps. I laughed the whole way home.

I ride and train western, so that means that I can wear my riding clothes (jeans and button up shirt) any wear with out getting too many strange looks- although I get a lot of kids that think I'm cool because of my spurs;).
I have the most fun if I ride a client's horse bareback for a good while, then go to either the library or walmart- bareback marked jeans, boots, and spurs, seem to stand out a bit.

I went once to my doctor's office for an appointment. I had no time to change and went there in t shirt, breeches and tall boots! Did leave the helmet in the car...

I take care of the morning work at my barn and that include mocking the stalls. After I really do not smell good. Even my parents try to stay away from me. They always have to go and shop after they get me. So I always end up in the clean mall in my horribly stincky barn clothes, and meet some of my friends that always want to talk until they get less than a meter from me.
Breeches and tall boots that I wear everywere and so do not care.

I get people staring at me when I go to the grocery store. And especially when a group of young girls go into Tim Hortons - people ALWAYS stare! :)

I love the grocery store stare, but my ultimate stare contest came when I wore my riding clothes to the movies. It made sense at the time...
