General Information Regarding Zara Phillips Clothing

By Jaclyn Hurley


Zara Anne Elizabeth Phillips, better known as Zara Phillips, is a British equestrian. This is the title given to individuals who ride or perform on horseback, and in the case of Phillips, she followed the footsteps of her parents when she took up riding. Phillips is also the second oldest grandchild of Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip, and currently fifteenth in the line of succession. In 2009, she became involved in fashion. More specifically, a Zara Phillips clothing line.

During this time it was announced that she would be designing her own line of equestrian clothing for the Musto Outdoor Clothing company. The range is called ZP176 and is named after the team number she received when she first represented her country. ZP176 was officially launched in July of 2010.

T-shirts, jackets and coats, caps and headwear, gilets, hoodies and sweatshirts, tops, trousers, base layer, jodhpurs and breeches, and other accessories are available. The items have a sporty look and are made from technical fabrics designed to keep riders protected both on and off the saddle.

Individuals can shop the products on the Musto website. They can narrow down the selection by shopping by product type, color, outerwear type, activity and technology. While these items are made with equestrians in mind, the clothing and accessories might be used by those who are not. Prices will vary based on the item.

Phillips has said that she tried and tested everything in the collection. Most of her involvement was about tweaking little things here and there to make the items more practical for wearers. She says her line is in no way about mainstream fashion but is about engineering goods that work well for training and are not bad to look at.

When it comes to function, some of these are made with materials that allow them to be breathable, water resistant, showerproof, windproof, fast drying and breathable. Likewise, there are products made specifically for event and stables, in the saddle, and competition activities. Numerous technologies are used in production of the products, such as: DWR, Coolmax, Primaloft Synergy, SPF and Primaloft.

The line was two years in the making. While functional, the pieces are still classy sportswear. They might be preferred by individuals who want to look good while training or competing, but not at the loss of functionality. The experience she has as an equestrian has helped her design items that will work best for other athletes of the sport.

Most products are available in reds, blues, grays, blacks and whites. The goods include Musto classics, such as Grooms Gilet and Snug Chaps with color, fit and design updates. Sizing for most products is x small-xxx large and 8-18. Sizes that are available will vary. Technology, reviews and features of each of the pieces is included on the site as well. Availability may differ, but many of the goods can be purchased from the official Musto site. There might be other sellers of new or gently used LP176 items around the web.
