Arrow show colors

i am looking for show clothes for next summer. i was wondering if you guys could help me decide on what colors.

i am looking for show clothes colors that can go with multiple colored horses. like my lesson horse is a chestnut, but i also might ride a bay, or a grey. it depends on the location and i only have the budget for one English outfit.

i plan on showing in jumping and on the flat english.

i need a jacket and a shirt:

is dark blue or black a better color for a jacket?

and

i was looking at shirt colors and i like a light peach color, but i can't find a shirt thats light peach, only bright, does anyone know where to find a medium green or blue? do you think those would work?

I would go with either
- tan breeches, white shirt, black jacket
or
- white breeches, white, tan, or peach, black jacket

Have you looked on State Line Tack? They have lots of different colors of shirts, Devon-aire does too.

Because you ride an assortment of colored horses, I would suggest to keep it simple. I have seen riders mismatch on certain horse colors, and it doesn't look all too good.
I would stick with a navy blue jacket. Navy works on everyone, lol.
I know you would like a peach shirt, but I woudln't use it with navy. Personally, a light lilac\purple shirt looks great with navy. It goes pretty well with a bay, gray and chestnut. I have a purple shirt and navy show coat- If you want pics, pm me and I'll get you some.
I don't know any people who show in black showcoats in the hunter\eq ring. Personally, I would not buy a black coat.
Tan breeches are fine- as long as they go with your outfit. I have a greener pair and sand colored pair of tailored sportsman show breeches. They do cost a lot (100$ per pair) So if your are on a budget, stick to cotton\lycra blends.
I know where you can get a light blue, green and peach shirt. I have a wonderful blue shirt. Once again if you want pics, pm me.

Keep us posted- and if you still need help.

I have 3 Jackets - one dark blue and pinstriped, one black, one heavy winter jacket Dark blue... I have always had blood (or more red) bays, they look good in blue.

All my shirts are white (guess I'm a traditionalist... they're also cheaper and I can't match). I do have agreen striped one... but I have yet to wear it.

if you have a black velvet helmet get a black jacket. i would go with black because it will go with every colour. you can dress it up with coloured shirts.
