For the record, I have never been a fan of white breeches. I have always worn tan for the dressage/SJ phases at events. However, last summer I did some recognized dressage shows. Although I probably wouldn’t have been “rung out” by the judge–I realized I might stick out like a sore thumb (or worse, an eventer! :winkgrin:) if I wore tan breeches.
So I bought those Ovations in white-with the grey full seat. For white breeches, they are the first that doesn’t make me resemble a beached whale when I am wearing them. They are comfortable. They are white though, which meant that I did need to attempt to keep them clean–which was not always a successful endeavor. I do have the darker grey Ovations and would consider those too dark to wear in the dressage phase of an event. But those light tan Ovations look pretty light in the photo—you could definitely get away with those! Unless you are really stuck on light grey.
