Royal Style: Gucci and Chanel for the win, coat dresses for the bin!

[Maireas]

Royal style continues!
Thanks to Deftly for the thread title. Let's hope there's more Gucci and Chanel.....fewer coat dresses..,.

It's a nice style, I think I have an aversion to brown coloured clothing (I haven't recovered from the 70s)

I remember my parents having orange and brown swirly carpets and floral curtains in the 70’s. I can cope with some brown, but never with the orange 😳

You have described my parents' home, plus every home I went into in my formative years. I spent my teen years in brown polyester, with highlights of orange. I've been recovering ever since! Anyway, Leti looks gorgeous, I love her hair, the shoe colour and the eye make up. I'll look forward to her return to bright red, though!

Here's the dress from the Massimo Dutti website - I actually like it better with the belt and boots.

I like it with the boots and belt more too

I like the styling on the website, it's the sort of thing I used to wear to work back in the olden days when we actually went places.

I can imagine Kate in it too.

Love that Massimo Dutti dress and boots!

If you haven't had enough of Mary, settle in and enjoy this interview. I really enjoyed it and there is lots of fashion in it as it shows her watching highlights from her life.

I think these dropped waist dresses work quite well on her. She really does seem remarkable for her age.

Leti is back in red! I love this colour. Hugo Boss sweater and wide legged cropped trousers. I like this look, but am not sure about the style of shoes with it? I know they're her signature style, but maybe something lower or with a block heel?.

Max looking fabulous in a green leather skirt and zany earrings!

I like HM's dress, @MotherofPearl, the colour and pattern, also the pleating detail at the bottom.

Max looking good! The blouse looks interesting.

I love that red outfit of Leti's. I know what you mean about the shoes but she seems about as likely to give up skyscraper stilettos as Kate is to give up skinny jeans! Nobody wears red as well as Leti does.

Ooh I like Leti's look there as it is, she looks fabulous.

I like the slightly russet tones to the red Leti’s wearing there, I know what you mean about the shoes Maireas, but don’t really know what else I would put with it. She looks good though.
I like Max’s green, not too keen on the blouse, but it’s good with the blue coat and shoes, not too matching.
I do like HM in the dropped waist dresses- she looks comfortable, there’s nothing worse than feeling trussed up. 😁

I love Leti in that red. Gorgeous shade but you’re all right about the shoe style 🤔

I think I'm in a grumpy mood but I don't like Leti's red trousers, there's something about the cut that doesn't look right. I much preferred Kate's all red skirt and jumper that she wore for the Earthshot prize thingy

I like-ish the green leather skirt on Max and she can get away with pretty much anything as far as I'm concerned but the blouse isn't great. Also laughing at the lady on her left who clearly also got the 'today's a leather bottom half' memo.

@RomainingCalm
Was it this? I don’t think it was at Earthshot, but I love this one.

That's the one @gluenotsoup. I loved it as well.

What I love about the way Max dresses is that she combines colours well (generally). Kate will be head-to-toe red, while Max will wear lots of colours, and it's more interesting and fun. And they aren't always colours you'd think would go, but they do.

Yes, @SeaRabbit, I agree - I like the way that Max embraces colour, she's a bit more adventurous that way. I'm a colour lover myself! It's a step away from the same colour dressing many go for.

I like Kate's red ensemble although I think a more berry red shade would've suited her better than tomato as it's a little harsh. It's also the sort of outfit that works best when you're as slender as she is!

Will we see more red (and white) on the Denmark trip next week? There's bound to be some sort of Lego-related photo op too.

Ah. The visit to Denmark.
Mary's plan enters phase 2.....
