High five's all round to Holland Cooper and Fairfax & Favor's PR and marketing departments for the trot up domination. We're not saying it was a Holland Cooper fashion show but they were certainly dominating the runway like the British are dominating the world's top ten at the moment.

The leather trouser look was in with Caroline Powell, HiHo's winner of the best dressed lady award, and young-gun Imogen Murray opting for the super chic look.  The former Burghley winner paired the spray on trousers with black Amira over the knee boots from Fairfax & Favor, a cream zip shirt from Holland Cooper and a chunky necklace from HiHo.  But the icing on the cake was the cornflower blue Eleanor coat from Butler Stewart.  A seamless blend of the city chic with country twee.

25-year-old Imogen Murray also opted for the high fashion leather look trousers, however pairing it with the Holland Cooper Knightsbridge jacket and a simple black vest creates a completely different look.  The crowning glory on this look had to be the Keith Scarrott shoes.  Patent black leather with a striking gold and red heel set the look apart from the rest.

The style omissions...

Hats have become a big thing in the 4* trot up of late, however they were more few and far between at Burghley this year.  The standard Fedora and feathers were some what lacking, however Holland Cooper's new Panama was a style spot along with the Annabel Brocks  Bugsy hat.

The cape was seemingly on the downward trend as well.  Katie Preston this year stood out in a cape rather than blending in with the crowd.

Fur also seems to be on the decline.  One has become used to seeing our stylish equestrian ladies adorned in some sort of Racoon but this year not so much.
