History of the ladies sports jacket
The first ladies riding jacket was born out of the late 1700's. The era was one of lavish designs and impractical fashions. Indulgence was a high society affair showcasing wealth through elaborate designs and exotic fabrics was a very important practise for the aristocracy.
The American revolution brought a new wave of simplicity to tailoring and following the French revolution British tailoring was at the forefront of design. By 1795 the art of British tailoring circulated and became apparent in women's wear. Ladies jackets fit for riding where available but where still to be worn with a waistcoat and petticoat. A formal high-necked shirt was also introduced.
As most tailoring was predominantly performed by men, the style of the garments reflected masculinity, failing to flatter the female silhouette.
The redingote was also a popular design within that period. Consisting of fitted sleeves connecting to a floor length jacket dress. Predominantly made from wool this design later developed to be worn as an over coat.
Modern day
The modern ladies sports coat is a classic affair. The slim fit blazer accentuates the waist and can should be worn along side a crisp white shirt and slim fit trousers. Still incorporating the true British heritage of the attire, the modern day blazer has developed into a rather practical yet endearing fashion.
