Particularly noteworthy is the stitched high waistband, which gently curves to flatter the figure. The overall image of the rider is stretched and thus looks very feminine. However, a culottes skirt is not only classy, but also functional:

• The riding skirt can be worn at any time of the year.
• It offers the advantages of trousers in the look of a skirt.
• Can be combined with warm tights on cooler days or with knee socks and boots in summer.
• Due to the 3/4 length, the distance to the floor is large enough so that moisture or dirt can not harm him.
• The well thought-out material mix of the riding skirt is also dirt-resistant.
• The curved high waistband allows the pelvis to swing freely for a good fit.

The riding skirt from Picadera is available in many great colours in sizes 34-46.

History of the culottes

Trousers in the guise of a skirt came into fashion in 1900 and allowed women to wear trousers that were practical and feminine at the same time. Long hikes, cycling or even on cold days - a culottes skirt was and is always the ideal companion. Before World War 1, trousers were taboo for women and so this invention was a milestone in fashion.

From trouser skirt to the riding skirt

In the late 19th century, the "noble lady" rode in the eponymous saddle. However, the normal skirts and undergarments hindered proper riding and so the riding skirt was an excellent achievement. In addition, there was less danger of getting caught on it in the field and the woman's legs were not visible. At that time, this was an important criterion for a skirt. Back then, skirts were heavier and mostly made of wool, but today they are made of ultra-modern fabrics.

Nature and high-tech - The choice of fabrics

The riding skirt is made of 55 % polyester and 45 % wool. It thus combines the best properties of a natural material with the advantages of a high-tech material.

• Very durable and resistant to the environment
• Resistant to "shrinkage
• Crease-resistant, dimensionally stable
• Strong fibres, but still very light own weight
• Colours remain vivid, no pilling effect
• Easy care
• Quick-drying
• Pleasant feeling on the skin due to the wool content

The slightly lighter version of our riding skirt is made of 98% polyester and 2% elastane for a particularly comfortable feel. The elastane provides a slight stretch and reduces the pilling effect.
