Ariana Madix Thinks This Holiday Fashion Trend Is the Most Underrated (Exclusive)  

Ariana Madix reveals her holiday style secrets.

The Vanderpump Rules star, 39, tells PEOPLE she doesn’t want to try “a little bit of everything” when it comes to formal fashion, but there’s one look in particular she’s ready to rock (and in her opinion, it’s very understated).

“I love equestrian style… imagine going to the mall for your holiday shopping and you have your equestrian style boots and just a chic jacket. Maybe it’s the horse girl in me, but I just love the look,” says Madix, an avid rider. “It’s so classic and I feel like it never goes out of style.”

There is no doubt that it is Island of love USA The hostess will also inspire you to look with her holiday program for DSW, which features several of her favorite equestrian shoes and accessories.

“I have a couple [Kelly & Katie] the gloves I’m really, really obsessed with from this collection that are brown. They’ve got a bit of a horsey feel to them and I think that’s so chic,” she says of the winter staple, which also pairs well with the brand’s matching riding boots.

“One thing I always love about shopping at DSW is that there is so much to choose from. When I walk into a store or if I go to their website, there’s a type of shoe for every thing I want to do. “Sometimes I end up getting more than I invested,” she admits.

Whatever look Madix plans to rock this season, whether it’s her glitziest party outfit or her coziest outfit, she doesn’t want to limit where her glamorous look can take her.

“Something I learned a little later in my womanhood that I didn’t realize when I was younger is that if you see something you want to try, just try it,” she says. “It sounds like a cliché, but it really is. You can wear whatever you want. There are no rules. Don’t worry about something being “flattering”. If you see it, you like it, wear it and have fun, because life is short.”
