Kate's Clutch Bags

I was reading a bit of a mean article in the Daily Mail (obviously) about how unstylish she was. I don't agree with all of it but i do think the wee teeny clutch bags don't help. I know she can't manage a shoulder bag but maybe something a bit bigger might look better and less buttoned up.

I also can't believe she has tights on she must be roasted!

Boots are ten years old Elspeth www.telegraph.co.uk/fashion/people/duchess-of-cambridge-wears-10-year-old-penelope-chilvers-boots-f/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter I also want them, wondering if lasting ten years justifies the price tag...

Those nude courts were a really odd choice with that outfit, I wonder if something happened to her actual pair of shoes for that outfit.

WipsGlitter · 15/04/2016 16:09

I do think she can't do an uncovered toe for etiquette reasons but the courts are dreadful.

I always heard that the British lot have very stringent rules for official events - no trousers or open shoes on women.

But that doesn't make any sense as she wore sandals in the evening and worn those dreadful jeggings many a time - it was all jeggings and trainers during the Olympics.

So it's very confusing. I think she just really REALLY likes nude shoes. At least she's finally ditched the platform ones.

ChardonnayKnickertonSmythe · 15/04/2016 16:24

She did wear open toe sandals in the evening, once or twice I think.

So it can be done.

mrsvilliers · 15/04/2016 16:40

She's wearing open toed sandals in the second set of photos today, second time in a week. Looks like the same pair as well. Maybe they have luggage limitations which explains the nude courts?! I am a fan of nude courts in general btw but they totally didn't work with that skirt.

The Queen of Bhutan was wearing a peep toe in the official photos - so I'm sure Kate could.

Or just chose something different FFS. I feel like burning those nude courts

BitOutOfPractice · 15/04/2016 16:57

She's worn these in the past - they would've looked SO much better

I know I shouldn't get sucked in to commenting on her appearance but she looks far better with a little bit of weight on her IMO. The article about the boots has this photo and her legs, to me, look bloody fantastic - toned with a bit of muscle, and her face looks softer (OK I appreciate she's 12 years youngest as well).

Younger not youngest

Cerseirys · 15/04/2016 18:02

There are certain photos where Kate's smile looks a bit like Camilla imo, anybody else noticed that?

Funny, lately I've thought that lately she's started to resemble Diana. And I know someone who met Camilla once and said it doesn't come through in photos, but she actually looks like an older version of Diana!

CallaLilli · 15/04/2016 18:02

That outfit is Sloaney hell though Margot!

BitOutOfPractice · 15/04/2016 18:10

That picture reminds me of the honeymoon pics of Diana in her tweed

Queenbean · 15/04/2016 18:55

Can someone link the photos of her in the jeans? I have seen the hike photos and thought those trousers were fine - are we talking about those?

ElspethFlashman · 15/04/2016 19:12

I think this was the one.

I prefer not to think what such tight jeans would do to the fanjoble region in the Indian heat...

Eachleechsparethumb · 15/04/2016 19:28

Bollocks to luggage restrictions -as if Grin

Pisssssedofff · 15/04/2016 19:33

Diana, Kate, camila probably all bloody related knowing them !

Must be a new-ish rule then.

I've seen shots of her at evening events wearing open toed sandals. But during the day, even if she's wearing a sundress at Wimbledon, she always dons those bloody nude LK Bennett Sledge courts.

MaidofButtermere · 15/04/2016 22:33

She's been listening to you! Tonight she's left the clutch bag behind and got her toes out.

I know!! That dress is a bit random though. Is it the equivalent of wearing one covered in shamrocks to Ireland??

ElspethFlashman · 16/04/2016 08:49

Basically, yes!

NapQueen · 16/04/2016 10:50

Im wondering if she wears such boring shoes in order to keep all the attention on her clothes? An article this morning showed that Anna Wintour basically wears the same pair of strappy sandals with everything and they are actually really hard to see - they mean all the attention is focused on the clothes. Could that be the angle she js going from?

Amazes me how she is able to run on the beach and ay crickey in such high heels, especially with two littlies. Id insist on flats forever more!

BitOutOfPractice · 16/04/2016 10:57

I think in many many cases the shoes detract from the clothes. Those big clumpy black wedge espadrilles just ruin so many outfits

WipsGlitter · 16/04/2016 13:24

Love the blue and white dress she has on at the Taj. And no clutch again! Same nude shoes but I think they look OK with this dress.
