Penelope Elegance Breeches

Some breeches are made for the barn. The Elegance is made for the spotlight. Crafted from a 78% polyamide, 22% elastane outer fabric with a 95% polyester, 5% elastane inner lining, the Elegance delivers a stretch-rich, close fit with a slightly high waist that holds you in beautifully through every transition — from the warm-up ring to the final ribbon presentation.

The details are what set it apart. A row of rhinestones traces the waistband and runs along the front and back pockets, catching the light with every stride. At the center of the left thigh, a delicate Pénélope horse in rhinestones adds a signature finishing touch that’s unmistakably French. The lower leg is finished in Lycra for a smooth, adaptable fit across different leg lengths and body shapes. Non-slip reinforcements on the inside of the knees keep your leg steady and secure in the saddle. The fit is true to size — choose your usual size.

How does the Elegance compare to other Pénélope breeches?

The Hongy is the Elegance’s closest companion in personality — both embrace sparkle and feminine detail — but the Hongy channels it through large crystal-trimmed front pockets and diagonal waistband stripes for everyday riding flair. The Elegance is more refined and show-focused, with its rhinestone detailing concentrated along the seams and the iconic Pénélope horse motif.

The Rocky is the no-fuss counterpart: a 92% polyamide/8% elastane fabric, mid-rise waist, zippered front pockets, and zero embellishment. It’s the daily workhorse where the Elegance is the showstopper. Both fit true to size with a Lycra lower leg, making them easy to size across the range.

The Majestic takes a completely different approach to luxury — understated rather than embellished. Its 78% polyamide/22% elastane fabric features perforated lower legs for breathability, a seamless lower-leg finish, and a silicone Pénélope logo knee grip. Where the Elegance announces itself with rhinestones, the Majestic earns its name through construction and feel.

In short: the Elegance is for the rider who believes the ring deserves a little glamour. The Hongy brings the sparkle to everyday rides, the Rocky keeps things clean and practical, and the Majestic lets the fabric speak for itself.
