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.

Keith Musto, a British Olympic sailor, originally developed this brand, aiming for a product that could keep sailors warm and dry no matter what the weather conditions. Princess Ann was a keen sailor and so the family was familiar with this brand. Equestrian sport, like sailing, requires going out in all types of weather and it was not long before Musto was producing an equestrian range too.

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.

With all her practical experience in the field, she had a great contribution to make at every stage of production. In the design stage, freedom of movement was considered to be vital and innovations were made to ensure this. She tweaked a few things such as putting in a longer cut for the jackets so the back would not be exposed when riding in the elements. She also wanted garments to be as stylish as possible, regarding the cut as important. All items were thoroughly tested to ensure that they functioned flawlessly, despite the circumstances.

The items include various jackets like one which is fleece lined, one that is suitable for training and another hooded one. There is also a gilet and a t-shirt. The range was launched in 2010 and have become so popular that a range for children has also been introduced since then.

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.

There are a number of suppliers selling these products and browsing online websites offers an opportunity to compare products and prices. A reputable company should be chosen and reading online reviews written by satisfied customers is one method of determining reliability. Choosing the correct size is important and sizing guides are provided. There are also a range of colors from navy and black to orange and red to select from.

In recent years, the features on these garments have increased their practicality without taking away from their style. For example, fleece lined pockets may be included, well positioned for keeping hands warm. A hood may be removed and adjusted. Cuffs have adjustable studs. Vents at the rear of the garment make it fit well over the saddle. Zippers with a pommel flap in front help with fit and comfort too.

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.
