Royal style: forget all your stresses as we talk royal dresses

[QueenOfTheAndals]

Previous thread

Now. A request. Can we please keep this to critiquing the clothes rather than the wearer?

So if you want to talk about what Meghan's wearing then fine, go ahead. I'm not even saying you have to like everything she wears. This applies to all royal women - if you don't like an outfit then do feel free to say so.

But if you want to talk about "Megxit" then please go to one of the many many other MN threads about it and leave us to our clothes chatter!

Please don't call St Patrick's Day St. Pat's Day its like the aberration that is St Patti's Day.
Otherwise you'll have the wrath of all the Irish Royal Style watchers on these threads down on top of you and there seems to be loads of us.

I think she is definitely wearing very fine, very expensive tights.

Very fine sheer tights act the same a a tinted moisturiser does for the face, a delicate bit of coverage.

Sorry @beanaseireann ( I was only copying and pasting)

I think what she wore today was fine for a "working visit". I'd probably have added boots and a scarf or gloves but I doubt they were outside for very long.

Max looks fab.

K&W look engaged & interested.

@SenecaFalls I sold my Lottie bag as I found it very uncomfortable to use with the chain strap, but I have no such problem with my Chanel 2.55.

I adore Kate's earrings and I'm a fan of the coat, I think the collarless, military style is more interesting than a basic wool coat.

Agree about the weird flaps on the bust area.

It was an ok outift, a bit dull just like William's ensemble.

If I were Kate, I would have just wanted to get through today really with the least drama possible.

Meghan looked beautiful in her barbour yesterday. Although that faux fur trim on her hood will end up manky looking if she wears it in the snow/wet.

@DreamingofSunshine That's good to know about the Lottie bag, although it is so pretty that I am still tempted. (I need to stop watching YouTube videos about handbags.)

I think Meghan looked beautiful yesterday, she wears casual much better than formal I think.

Kate looked 'fine' today but I suppose she just wanted to get back to business and this is exactly what her outfit said.

I would like to see this winter look on Kate again.

You're forgiven

If Kate is wearing tights they must be made to her exact proportions there is no sag or line anywhere!

I like Kate in red, it's been said before on these threads but Kate suits the warm jewelled tone colours. Even if you look at her range of green coats the warmer tones look much better in my opinion.

(There are some duplicates and I don't think this is all the green coats either)

Who’s job is it to buy all the clothes and manage the wardrobe space?

How can one women’s be characterised as frugal with that many green coats?

I’m full of questions this evening.

That's her Ming the Merciless belt Betty. Nice coat though. And agree the boots look better than sheer tights (or not) and heels in Mid-jan

I love the green coat from the 6th of March that @itswinetime posted.

Because people will believe anything if it's printed enough times in the press @AppleKatie!

Queen Margrethe's 80th birthday portrait

She looks like a bit like an art teacher which, given her interests, is not surprising!

lovely elegant birthday portrait.

And too true @QueenOfTheAndals in between my last post and seeing yours FB ‘ suggested’ I might like an article about how cheap Kate’s dress was today....

It's not as bad but blue and red probably have their own wardrobes too. But I agree with @QueenOfTheAndals it's all about what the press want to portray and today is the perfect example there was loads on twitter about Kate's bargain Zara dress. Not so much about her new McQueen coat when every coat she owns would have gone with black and white 🤷🏻‍♀️

We will see I imagine tomorrow's headlines will be picking up on a comment Kate made about no more Cambridge babies to one of the crowd today. Apparently William is the hold out.

Great portrait of Margrethe. Love the red fingernails.

What is the "royal secret" that allows them to wear shoes bare foot without shredding their feet? All shoes rub the skin off the back of my heel if I try to go sockless / tightless I have to wear something with almost all shoes. Is it because I wear cheap shoes or because I have peasant skin?

There are various types of socks which don't show, like court shoe liners, invisible socks or no show socks.

I guess when you put these coats all together they look a lot , but are they not accumulated over the years?. Probably a portion of these are tight/loose or she is just not into them anymore.

Kate is not thrifty, she likes tailored well made clothes and these are not cheap.
But I think she is the first royal to be seen in high street clothes And that image just stayed on.

The photo of Margrethe lets her personality shine through. I'd love to look like her when I'm 80.
