As spring settles in and April unfolds, we’re turning toward the quiet quality of green—a color that feels both hopeful and grounded, much like the month itself. Think April showers giving way to soft moss and fresh shoots; from pale sage to bright emerald to deep hunter, green sets the tone this season, bringing with it a sense of renewal and understated sophistication.

Our muse for April is the ever-iconic C.Z. Guest—a woman who embodied refined ease and equestrian grace. Picture her at home at Templeton: a barn jacket casually draped over her shoulders, riding boots dusted from the morning trail, a saddle bag worn with purpose. Her world was one of discipline, beauty, and timeless taste, and it’s precisely this spirit we’re channeling now.

This month’s favorites are rooted in that same equestrian elegance. It’s the perfect backdrop for pieces that meet the moment—like the barn jacket, a spring staple that’s not too light, not too heavy, and just right for sun, showers, or rain.

We’re especially inspired this month by brands like Hermès, Ralph Lauren, Loro Piana, Brunello Cucinelli, Mark Cross, and even J.Crew—which is enjoying quite the resurgence. These heritage names offer assortments that speak to the ritual of horseback riding—not as spectacle, but as a way of being.

Spring and April are about reconnecting—with nature, with tradition, and with the quiet confidence of classic style. It’s a reminder that sometimes, the most enduring inspiration comes not from what’s new, but from what’s true.
