Stay Cool and Composed Under the Bright Lights

There’s nothing quite like the pressure of a summer show day, but the heat shouldn't be what breaks your focus. The Shires Aubrion Optima Vx Show Shirt is engineered specifically for those long days in the ring where looking your best is just as important as staying cool under your coat. From the first warm-up to the final victory lap, this shirt keeps you feeling as sharp as you look.

This isn't just another white show shirt; it’s a high-performance piece of gear designed for the active competitor. The Shires Aubrion Optima Vx blends traditional show ring aesthetics with modern athletic technology, featuring sophisticated lace paneling that provides essential ventilation when the temperature rises. It’s built for the long haul of a multi-day circuit, ensuring you stay dry, protected, and professional.

Key Benefits

• Maximum Airflow: Strategically placed lace front and back panels allow for superior ventilation, keeping you significantly cooler when layered under a show jacket.
• Superior Sun Protection: Built-in UPF 50+ fabric shields your skin from harmful UV rays during those long afternoons at the showgrounds.
• Advanced Moisture Wicking: The technical quick-dry fabric pulls sweat away from the skin, preventing that heavy, damp feeling and ensuring you stay comfortable through every round.
• Show-Ring Professionalism: A high, crisp white collar and elegant pearlized button placket provide a polished, formal look that meets requirements for Dressage, Jumping, and Eventing.
• Tailored Athletic Fit: Designed with a sleek silhouette that stays tucked in and layers perfectly under tailored show coats without bunching or adding unnecessary bulk.

Best For

The competitive rider looking for a high-performance, breathable show shirt that maintains a traditional, formal look in the Dressage, Show Jumping, or Eventing ring.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How do I find the right fit for the Shires Aubrion Optima Vx Show Shirt?

This shirt follows UK sizing and is based on chest measurements (for example, a Small typically fits a 34" chest). While it is generally true to size for a sleek, athletic fit, we recommend sizing up if you are between sizes to ensure there is no pulling across the chest when you're in the saddle.

Q: Is this shirt appropriate for "jacket-off" classes in the summer?

Yes! While the Shires Aubrion Optima Vx looks like a traditional formal shirt under a coat, the beautiful lace detailing and short sleeves make it a favorite for hot summer days when jackets are waived but a polished appearance is still required.

Q: Does the lace paneling make the shirt fragile?

Not at all. Shires designed this shirt for the rigors of barn life and competition. The lace is durable enough for regular wear and machine washing, though we always recommend a gentle cycle to keep your show gear in peak condition.
