EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "A Chic and Practical Tropical Riding Outfit: A Fashion Statement for Society Travelers in the 1930s" In this evocative black-and-white photograph, a stylish woman is shown dressed in a tropical riding outfit, perfectly suited for the subtropical climates of East Africa and similar regions. The image, captured in 1930, offers a glimpse into the fashionable yet practical attire that was essential for society types embarking on exotic travels during the 1930s. The woman wears a riding habit, an elegant yet functional ensemble designed to keep her cool and protected from the sun. The outfit consists of a lightweight, breathable skirt and blouse, both in a vibrant, tropical print. The blouse features short sleeves and a high neckline, while the skirt falls just above the ankles, revealing a pair of sturdy, high-heeled riding boots. The focal point of the outfit, however, is the terai, a wide-brimmed felt hat with a distinctive double crown. Originally worn by travelers in subtropical regions, the terai was an essential accessory for protecting against the harsh sun and rain. Its wide brim shielded the face and neck from the sun's rays, while the double crown provided additional protection against the rain. The woman in the photograph wears her terai at a jaunty angle, giving her a confident and happy appearance. The hat adds a touch of sophistication to her outfit, making it a perfect combination of style and functionality. This photograph, available from Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a fascinating glimpse into the fashion trends of the 1930s for society travelers. The tropical riding outfit, with its practical yet chic design, represents the spirit of adventure and elegance that defined the era. Whether exploring exotic locales or simply enjoying a day at the races, this outfit was the epitome of fashionable travel attire.
