If I had a dollar for every time, I saw a comment on my social channels like “I love your Shirt” “What brand is that shirt!” “That shirt looks great on you”. Well, I would have enough dollars to purchase the entire Kastel Denmark collection! Not only are these sun shirts super stylish, they’re also my favorite to ride in for both function and fit.
I’m lucky enough to be sponsored by Kastel, but even if I wasn’t- you’d still be seeing me in their sun shirts! I couldn’t think about riding without them anymore.
If you haven’t heard of Kastel before, you’re missing out! These are my top 6 reasons why I love Kastel Shirts.
#5 – They ARE the outfit. I’m not much of a fashionista. I’m not known for my ‘matchy matchy’ skills or striking riding outfits. But with Kastel, their stylish prints are the focal point of every outfit. I can match every shirt to every pair of breeches in my closet, and it looks like a complete outfit I’ve spent hours on.
#4 – My skin can breathe…and so can those around me! I ride and teach all day long. If I’m not sweating in the saddle, I’m sweating under the sun. Kastel’s lightweight fabrics and mesh allows my skin to breath and for sweat to wick away quickly from my skin. And the anti-bacterial engineering keeps me odor-free, which my team, husband, and clients all are thankful for!!
#3 – New styles multiple times a year. I’m one of those people that isn’t super invested in fashion (see above to point #5). So, I’ll often be seen wearing the same outfits over and over again. With Kastel’s seasonal releases of new styles and patterns, I’m not longer looking like an “outfit repeater”… or at least- I’m not as BAD of an outfit repeater!
#2 – Female owned and operated. Running my own female powered business, it’s important to me to support other women entrepreneurs. Kastel founder Charlotte Jorst has done a great job fostering a positive and helpful team at Kastel. I love working with them!
#1 – Skin Protection– Living in Sunny California, the topic of skin cancer does come up more frequently that I’d like. Living here is great because it allows me to train all year round, but I am also more at risk for the most preventable type of cancer in the world: Skin Cancer. While I still wear hats, sunglasses, gloves, and sunscreen, Kastel’s UVA and UVB ray protection gives me the confidence to ride and sweat with reassurance that I have an added layer of protection in my daily life.
