Our Team’s Top Picks
22nd January 2025
We’re excited to share some of our team’s favourite picks from Rufford’s! Each member has carefully chosen their go-to country lifestyle pieces to inspire your wardrobe. At Rufford’s, we celebrate individuality and unique style, and we’re fortunate to have a team whose personal tastes reflect this beautifully. Whether you prefer country chic, stylish practicality, or ultimate comfort, we have something to suit your style. We’ve curated styled looks from everyone on our team, from our store owner to our website developer, offering something to suit every taste.
Why It’s Important to Have Your Own Unique Country Style
Country style is more than just a way of dressing—it’s a reflection of your personality and how you embrace life in the countryside. Whether you’re out for a walk in the fields, attending a country fair, or simply running errands in town, having your own unique style lets you stand out while staying true to yourself. It’s all about blending practicality with personal flair, creating looks that not only work for rural living but also feel authentically you.
One of the joys of country style is how versatile it can be. It’s not just about traditional tweed jackets and wellies anymore (though they’ll always be classics!). Today, country style can mean anything from cosy knitwear layered under a gilet to tailored trousers paired with durable boots. It’s about mixing timeless pieces with modern touches, so your wardrobe works for everything from a muddy dog walk to a pub lunch.
Your unique style doesn’t just look good—it’s practical too. Living or spending time in the countryside often calls for clothing that’s tough enough to handle the outdoors but still stylish enough for when you’re socialising. Whether it’s a waterproof coat that keeps you dry in unpredictable weather or boots that are as comfortable as they are durable, choosing pieces that suit your lifestyle is key. And the best part? You can adapt these looks to reflect your personality with the right accessories, colours, and textures.
Ultimately, having your own unique country style is about confidence. It’s about wearing what makes you feel good and prepared for wherever the day takes you, from the stables to a Sunday roast. Country living comes with its own charm, and your style should reflect that—a balance of practicality, comfort, and a bit of individuality that turns heads for all the right reasons. So embrace your own take on country style—it’s as unique as the countryside itself!
