Beige or Fawn? How to Choose the Correct Colour Leggings

Choosing the right colour breeches or showing leggings is an important part of putting together a beautifully coordinated competition outfit.

While beige and fawn are both traditional choices, the subtle differences between them can influence the overall appearance of your turnout.

At Le Cavalier Equestrian, our two most popular showing shades are LUXE Beige and LUXE Fawn.

Both are designed to complement traditional showing attire, but which colour should you choose?

Consider the Class You’re Competing In

The first thing to consider is the type of showing class you’re entering.

Different classes have their own traditions, and certain shades have become particularly popular within specific disciplines.

For younger riders, a warmer, more canary-inspired shade is often associated with traditional showing presentation.

Our LUXE Fawn Leggings have a beautiful warm undertone, making them an excellent option for riders wanting to achieve this classic look.

Our LUXE Beige Leggings offer a more neutral shade and are particularly popular in hunter, mountain and moorland, and working hunter pony classes.

However, both shades can look equally elegant when styled correctly.

Consider Your Tweed Jacket

Your tweed jacket plays a significant role in how your competition outfit comes together.

Some tweeds feature warmer brown, green or gold tones, while others incorporate cooler colours and contrasting checks.

The beauty of our Beige and Fawn leggings is that both shades complement traditional tweed jackets exceptionally well.

Fawn creates a slightly warmer, more traditional appearance.

Beige provides a classic, neutral finish.

Rather than feeling restricted by the colour of your jacket, consider the overall look you’re trying to achieve.

Consider the Colour of Your Horse

The colour of your horse can also influence how you choose to coordinate your competition outfit.

A beautifully balanced turnout takes the entire picture into account, from your horse’s coat colour and tack to your tweed, tie and breeches.

While the colour of your horse doesn’t determine which shade you must wear, it can help guide your styling choices.

The aim is to create a harmonious, traditional appearance that complements both horse and rider.

LUXE Fawn: A Traditional Favourite

Our LUXE Fawn Leggings feature a beautiful warm, canary-inspired undertone.

They’re a particularly lovely choice for younger riders and anyone wanting to achieve a more traditional showing appearance.

Paired with a crisp white CompTech shirt, complementary tweed and a carefully chosen EasyTie, they create a timeless competition look.

LUXE Beige: Classic and Versatile

Our LUXE Beige Leggings offer an elegant, neutral colour that works beautifully across a wide range of showing disciplines.

They’re especially popular with riders competing in hunter, mountain and moorland, and working hunter pony classes.

The understated shade complements traditional tweed while creating a smart, polished finish.

So, Which Should You Choose?

Ultimately, choosing between beige and fawn comes down to your class, your horse, your tweed jacket and the traditional look you prefer.

Neither shade is universally better than the other.

For younger riders wanting a warmer, canary-inspired appearance, Fawn is a beautiful choice.

For riders seeking a classic, versatile shade particularly popular in hunter and working hunter classes, Beige is an excellent option.

Always check the rules and turnout conventions for your particular society and class.

At Le Cavalier Equestrian, both colours have been carefully selected to complement traditional showing attire while providing the comfort and performance riders expect.
