I agree that the grey cashmere jumper and nice earrings was a good look. And also that her best outfits seem to either be very glam evening wear, or very casual outfits - it's the in-between looks that defeat her. This is where I really think she could take a leaf out of Leti's book. She often wears very sharp suits for daywear, and really nails looking modern and smart, but not stuffy.

Maireas · 31/12/2021 10:26

I agree, the daywear definitely falls short. She maybe just needs to simplify it a bit and think about colour and shape.
Do we think she actually owns a pair of joggers?
I suspect only very sleek exercise leggings!

She looks good for her zoom calls. Far simpler. Wish I could look that put together on MS teams! I sadly fail every meeting.
I truly hope she is slumming it on the bottom half in comfort.

Her mother always dresses nicely, and is much less staid than Kate. I wonder why she doesn't step in.

frugalkitty · 31/12/2021 12:06

I think that quite often Kate's daywear tips over into 'fussy' which she doesn't need (the grey jumper zoom call being an excellent example of getting it right). I think she'd do well in some of the outfits that Meghan wore, although she too got things wrong at times (again, like Kate due to torso issues) she had the simple but professional look spot on. I've said this before but one of the things that irritates me about Kate is that she has the figure and bank balance to look amazing all the time, but so often she doesn't which is daft, it's not like she's making do with a dash to M&S and the horror of changing room mirrors is it Grin

Kate plays it safe. And I think tries to wear things sometimes that the average Joe could wear - she wears a fair amount of high street, certainly more than Diana ever did.

I don’t agree Kate has a torso issue at all - agree that poor Meghan does and somehow always manages to draw attention to it.

Would love to know what Sophie’s budget is these days!!

You can really see the detail on her dress in this New Year photo.
Also how delicate her eternity ring is.

Well if you view the original on Twitter you can (it did something to the resolution when I copied it)

Such a lovely photo

Beautiful.

Either William has recently bleached his teeth or that photo has been photoshopped (which probably explains why it looks so good)

You are so right! And to think how handsome he was in his twenties...(William that is, though I have no idea if Stephen K was too!)
