Men's horse riding clothing has moved well beyond traditional beige breeches and basic polo shirts. Today's rider expects technical performance, a considered fit and clothing that looks as good as it feels.
The Montar men's collection brings a distinctly Scandinavian approach to equestrian wear, with clean silhouettes, understated details and technical materials across riding breeches, tops, jackets and competition clothing.
It's a complete wardrobe for the modern male rider - from a Tuesday night training session to stepping into the competition arena.
Equestrian Clothing Designed for Men
Fit matters in riding clothing, and simply adapting a women's garment isn't enough.
Men's equestrian clothing needs to account for the male body while still working with the position of a rider. Breeches need enough mobility through the seat, hips and knees without excess fabric inside the boot. Tops need room for movement through the shoulders and arms without becoming loose or bulky. Outerwear needs to work when you're seated, not just when you're standing.
Montar brings those requirements together with a streamlined European aesthetic, creating men's riding clothes that feel athletic rather than old-fashioned.
Men's Riding Breeches: The Starting Point
If you're building a riding wardrobe from scratch, start with your breeches.
A good pair should feel comfortable when your hips and knees are flexed in the saddle, remain streamlined underneath your riding boots and provide enough stretch to move naturally with your position.
Montar men's riding breeches combine a modern men's fit with technical riding fabrics and contemporary detailing. Selected styles also incorporate silicone grip for riders who prefer additional contact with the saddle.
Keep darker and more versatile colours in rotation for everyday training, then add competition-appropriate breeches if you regularly show.
Technical Riding Shirts Without the Traditional Look
Men's riding shirts don't need to look overly formal or obviously equestrian.
Montar men's riding tops take cues from modern performance and sportswear while retaining the functionality riders need. Technical shirts, polos and training tops create a cleaner alternative to ordinary cotton clothing when you're working harder in the saddle.
Depending on the individual style, technical materials can provide stretch, breathability and moisture management while maintaining a fitted, contemporary silhouette.
That versatility also makes many Montar tops easy to wear after you've left the stable.
Men's Jackets for the Stable and Everywhere Else
Outerwear is one of the easiest parts of an equestrian wardrobe to use beyond riding.
Montar men's jackets combine functional fabrics and clean Scandinavian styling without relying on an overtly equestrian look.
For riders, flexibility and considered construction make them practical around horses and in the saddle. For everyone else, they're simply technical jackets that work for an active lifestyle.
Wear them at the stable, walking the dog, travelling, heading to an event or as everyday outerwear.
What Do Men Wear for Horse Riding?
For everyday riding, the formula can be surprisingly simple.
Start with well-fitting riding breeches, add a technical top suited to the conditions and layer with a jacket when needed. Your riding boots, helmet and other safety equipment complete the functional side of the outfit.
The important difference isn't how complicated the outfit is - it's whether the individual garments have been designed to work when you're on a horse.
Purpose-designed breeches remove unnecessary bulk underneath riding boots. Technical fabrics can make active sessions more comfortable. Riding-specific fits allow your body to move through the positions required in the saddle.
A relatively small collection of well-chosen pieces can cover most everyday riding.
Building a Men's Riding Wardrobe
You don't need a different outfit for every horse or every training session.
A practical men's equestrian wardrobe might start with several pairs of breeches in versatile colours, a rotation of technical short and long sleeve tops and outerwear appropriate for the seasons in which you ride.
From there, add specialist pieces according to what you actually do.
If you compete, build a dedicated show outfit. If you ride through winter, invest more heavily in technical outerwear and layering. If most of your riding takes place in warm Australian conditions, prioritise lightweight tops and adaptable layers.
Building around your actual riding routine creates a much more useful wardrobe than simply collecting individual pieces.
Men's Competition Clothing for Dressage & Show Jumping
Competition is where the equestrian wardrobe becomes more formal.
Montar men's competition wear brings the brand's clean European aesthetic into the arena, with clothing designed to create a polished appearance without forgetting that you still need to ride in it.
For dressage, that means a refined silhouette appropriate
