Royal style: Max and Wax and whacky hats

[QueenOfTheAndals]

Now that the Commonwealth event is nearly over, we have another treat ahead of us. Maxima in Indonesia!

In light of what happened on the previous thread, I'm going to take a leaf out of Elizabeth SMT Holmes' book and say critique the clothes and the styling but not the physical appearances of various royal women.

Florals by Max

Kate and Wills visiting frontline staff. Seems frivolous to talk about clothes but I think this is a great choice... I like the length of the jacket & narrower trousers FTW!!

I like the suit too. Very Leti like and unexpected.

Good outfit by Kate it's modern and it suits her agree the longer jacket and narrow trousers is good for her shape. The colour suits her too.

Really like Kate in a trouser suit.

W&K really seem to be stepping up as the older members of the RF are forced into isolation

First time in a trouser suit?

Kate’s hair looks different? I like it. Love her outfit. Eminently suitable.

Pretty sure it's from M&S:

£99 blazer and £59 trousers

Only hard-hitting investigative journalism from me!

I like it, it feels more modern than what she normally wears

Kate looks great!

See, this totally fits my theory. Kate buys what she can from Kensington High St: TKMaxx, literally the nearest shop to Kensington Palace. Then, Zara, H&M (lol!), M&S and Trotters further down.

My DD1 (aged 11) is also dead impressed that her green striped M&S trainers have been worn by DoC.

I also trust that we have all seen this - extend the Queen Marguerite love

I haven't seen that @Tablefor4. I do love Queen Daisy. I think she may be my number one favorite royal after than clip.

I know @Seneca I just wish there was more. Like one of the guardsmen wearing it outside or something. It feels like just a piece

Queen Marguerite is a talented illustrator and costume designer

Kate looks great apart from the hideous shoes. William is definitely becoming very King like.

Nice interview in the guardian with Anne Glenconner here

Popping back in to say loving the trouser suit!

And with that suit I think Kate, CPV and Letizia could do a royal reboot of Charlie's Angels!

@thisenglishlife. Well spotted!

Haha @Queen eeuuwwww, no!

@thisenglishlife
Well spotted re M&S.
Another intrepid fashion detective on these threads.

Anyone for FutureLearn's history of royal fashion course? It's free and starts online on Monday.

Oh Kate you are giving me hope!! This was a great look for her today, would love to see a lot more of this Perfect trouser cut for her figure! I think maybe she had some new layers in her hair?

I agree Kate has flirted with jackets and trousers before but this is the first trouser suit I can remember and it's a good look for her I hope we will see more!

I'd love to join you queen but there will be very little down time for me for the foreseeable future! I will look forward to any nuggets those if you that do take the course share though. It's good to have some normality on these threads when I do have time to check!
