Help! Show wear is wrong!:(

[littlemare_]

I am going to my first ever showing comp this weekend! Jods came today and im not sure about the colour!!! ( i was expecting a light creamy beige) as they are yellowy. Its too late to order anymore, I would have to drive around for miles..

Please tell me if they look bad with my tweed!

Do they look bad? Are they ok for the ring?

 

[ChestnutTinker]

I don't think they look bad! PS: You have skinny legs

 

[Spotsrock]

Look fine to me I always see this colour in the show ring.

 

[Lolo]

That's a good colour! Al dyes her jods that colour

 

[showjump123]

That is the colour most people wear nowadays anyway you won't look out of place!

 

[Lambkins]

I like the jods but to me it is all a little bit miss matched :/ green jacket , navy gloves , burgandy tie , white shirt , canary jods .. Sorry ..I'm trying to help not pick holes a cream shirt would look nice and maybe navy tie ?

 

[Lambkins]

Or maybe brown gloves and cream shirt ? With the burgandy tie ? Do u have a show cane ? What colour is it ?

 

[Lilyhead]

They look perfect! I agree a yellow/cream shirt would pull the look together - stick the white one in the wash with some dusters!

 

[Amaranta]

I was always told that tan gloves were correct no matter what the colour of the jacket

The jods are fine btw but would also go with a cream shirt

 

[Lolo]

If it's not a schoolshirt, then wash it with some yellow dusters and it'll come out the perfect shade of cream I like the tie, and aree that brown gloves would be more correct but if you don't have any it won't matter. My sister resolutely stuck to wearing her skull cap with a flipped up silk for county showing, and didn't suffer for it...

Thanks guys! I usually jump/dressage so used to white and black, this is such a last minute throw together!
My hat, boots and gloves are black (i couldnt really afford new navy and brown ones as showing is rare for me)
So if i dye the shirt with dusters and change the tie would that look better? I could wear a black one to match hat ect but not sure if i have navy.

Does anyone know how to do they duster trick? do you just wash together at about 40? Sorry im a noob��

 

[Lolo]

Just chuck them in the wash as per usual We do it with all show jods to get the yellow look. I wouldn't change the tie, I think it looks smart and very correct.

 

[Lambkins]

If all your other bits r black .. Go with the cream shirt and the red wine coloured tie not a black tie ..never a black tie

 

[Lilyhead]

I think the tie looks fine - the shirt colour change will just give it a more pro look

Just chuck the shirt and dusters in the wash and voila - cream shirt!

Thanks guys! I will dye the shirt tomorrow then! I finished school this year so its okay to revamp
Thanks for your help, youve all saved me!

Jods look perfect, same colour as mine. Just change the colour of the shirt and you will be fine. If you have to use the black string you get at shows tuck the bow inside you jacket otherwise use plaiting thread it looks neater. Good luck at your show and have fun.

The jods are a nice colour I really like them definitely agree with cream shirt. I would change to brown gloves and a dark red tie. Local charity shops have some really fun ties I've found does your tweed jacket have any obvious colours running through it? I can't tell from the pick?

My tweed is just a green, there isnt a check or any thing else

Oh just checking as mine has chocolate brown, navy and canary which makes it really easy. It's a nice tweed though, I like the shade of green what colour is your horse?

Thank you
I ride lots of horses for people but for this show a piebald pony and maybe bay and palomino!

Love the jods!! Just get a lemon or cream shirt if you can, white is too stark, I would look for a burgundy tie and brown gloves. Don't forget the hairnet!! Good luck!

Oh yeah I remember you thread on the colour of your show jacket. I love doing dressage in tweed and canary you stand out in a good way

Good look for your show

Thanks guys! Going to change the shirt and go on a hunt for brown gloves! I have a burgandy tie so will go for that!
Thanks for all the help!
