Yes, it's nice to see her trying new looks and vintage pieces.

Really like the suit. Posters here have been anti-espadrilles on Kate at times but I like them.

fogglez · 23/03/2022 17:04

I'd like to see in her a wider trouser silhouette as the skinny cords are a little dated but like her colour choices

gluenotsoup · 23/03/2022 17:09

I like her your wardrobe on the whole. It’s been fresh and bright, well fitted. The latest white trouser suit is good with the orange, but again, I’m not as keen on the shoes, they don’t add anything and a different style could have really elevated the outfit.
Wide legs are popular, but so are the slim/ cigarette trousers.

SeaRabbit · 23/03/2022 17:10

I like the suit outfit. I wish she put as much pizazz into her UK outfits as she has on this trip.

gluenotsoup · 23/03/2022 17:10

Tour not your🤦🏻‍♀️

Nnique · 23/03/2022 17:10

I feel like we’re seeing that she’s grown into herself and her role in the past few years since the children have got older. We’re seeing a properly grown up Kate here IMO.

I’m very interested to see where she’ll go in the next ten years or so (and beyond) in terms of her role, which of course will change quite markedly in the next 10 years, if not sooner.

The vintage pieces are especially nice.

fogglez · 23/03/2022 17:16

i think it's the ankle length & the shoe choice that make it more dated.

Nnique · 23/03/2022 17:20

I like it that she’s mixing it up though. It’s not been boring. Not as formulaic as she’s been in the past.

fogglez · 23/03/2022 17:21

Yes agree we the mixing up & some cute bags.

Eaumyword · 23/03/2022 17:27

I like the trouser suit and yes, top Mark's for changing it up a little! I'm not a fan of orange and the shoes, but it's good!

TracyBeakerSoYeah · 23/03/2022 17:31

Kate looks good loving all her outfits so far apart from the indigo lace suit (which was just ok)

pussycatunpickingcrossesagain · 23/03/2022 18:04

@KillingMeDeftly

It's Kate Travolta in the white suit!!

Just kidding, she looks good and I like the pop of orange.

Night fever, night feeveeer... 🤣

Sorry, stupid autocarrot! *marks

Serenster · 23/03/2022 18:17

I refuse to accept that 7/8ths cigarette trousers are dated, as it’s what I and most of the trouser-wearing women in my professional office still wear! Grin

I would never wear a white trouser suit, but I think this one looks really good on her (she looks great in trouser suits generally, I think).

fogglez · 23/03/2022 18:18

They aren't cutting edge that's for sure

fogglez · 23/03/2022 18:19

plus I would hope Kate has a bit of a wider scope than professional office wear on a royal tour!

Sophie looking nice in white blazer and VB skirt. White's having a moment!

Sophie is very elegant

gluenotsoup · 23/03/2022 19:06

😂😳I don’t think cutting edge is what Kate aims for to be fair to her.
Sophie looks nice today, very springlike. It’s certainly been a beautiful day here! 🌷

Maireas · 23/03/2022 19:43

Yes, I like Sophie's look, quite understated.
You're right, I think Kate is trying to aim for modest, classical and timeless. Cutting edge really isn't how she sees her role, I would imagine!

OP posts:
fogglez · 23/03/2022 19:49

No Kate is definitely not edgy at all, she's very safe but I think it does tend to make her look dated as it's very unlike how most 40 yrs olds with ££££ dress. Sophie looks more modern imo.

HeyGirlHeyBoy · 23/03/2022 19:53

Forget K&W, Charles and Camilla are in my neighbourhood and the guards are everywhere, roads closing in the morning and I'm ready for a much longer commute to work!

Ooh, interesting! See if you can get a pic or a handshake Wink

I don’t want Kate to be edgy. She’s not a supermodel (do they have those these days??) or an insta influencer...she’s a representative of the Queen.
