Royal Style - C.Rexing towards summer with hopes for happy days ahead

[Maireas]

Afternoon! Thank you for the suggestions.
On we go!

That's my guess - she's gifted or loaned and doesn't get it made to fit.

I can't think of another explanation for such expensive but badly fitted clothes. It shouldn't take much to take up hems or shorten shoulder straps unless of course you have to give them back.

I think that pink dress is one of the worst I've seen Meghan wear - the colour, the style, the length are all 'off'. She looks so good in stronger colours and slightly more structured shapes. Even when it's so hot I can't believe that was the best possible option.

I'm going to agree. For me it's mostly the colour, but it's a bit shapeless as well.
I prefer the white trouser suit.

The white suit looks good and is that a torc?? https://www.harpersbazaar.com/celebrity/latest/a60755815/meghan-markle-white-suit-prince-harry-nigeria

Ooh I think it is!

Didn't like the peach dress at all, agree with PPs it's very badly fitting and colour during really work. White suit is better. But Harry wins for me in his teal suit! 😄

The white suit is Altuzarra. Trousers are new but the jacket is a repeat and I remember the shoes from years ago - a trip to Ireland I think.

She looks lovely except that the jacket is a touch tight, so it pulls around her middle. It's a lovely suit.

I do love a crisp white suit, partly because I could never pull it off, so this look is a win for me. If they are the copper velvet pumps from her Irish visit, they were gorgeous!

That’s nice, very flattering. The trousers are a good length too - 🥳.
Reminds me of the white suit Kate wore in Jamaica? maybe

Kate wore a white suit in Jamaica, but with tapered trousers and an orange top. This look is more reminiscent of what she wore to the Rugby World Cup last year (she’s worn this white suit a few times).

According to RFP it’s the white version of a black suit she wore to an awards ceremony in 2018.

Kate looks fab in that white trouser suit.
Meghan's looks good against the gorgeous colour of the other outfits and she really suits white. It does look a little tight across the waist which makes it look almost peplum style perhaps.
Not a fan of Harry's teal suit, sorry - made me think of a 6th former's first choice of suit!🤭

Meghan’s white suit is a vast improvement on the peach dress both in terms of look and appropriateness. She looks much better in stronger colours (if you can count white as one of these 😆)

I think Harry needs to up his shoe game, he's too wedded to the desert boot look. A pair of leather lace ups look better. I quite like the teal suit, it's good with his colouring.

Harry’s battered desert boots, William’s fleece. It’s obvious neither inherited their parents’ love for clothes!

I know! In that respect they're proper aristos, aren't they?!

Yes, though they’re still something of an outlier in the Windsors, who I think are more interested in clothes than they’re given credit for. Anne does a lot of rewears but even she was definitely interested in fashion as a young woman and clearly buys quality stuff that lasts the years!

I think Anne did enjoy fashion and was often quite fashion forward. She is such a practical person, though and does love the rewears.
Charles has always been very dapper, as was Philip. I used to share a house with his tailor's daughter, who said he was very meticulous about hid clothing and frequently had suits altered.

Ah, yes , thanks a@Serenster , that’s the one I was thinking of. I remember the orange was Jamaica now 🙂

Too long definitely seems to be in vogue at the moment, Victoria Beckham is all over it with her 50th birthday party dress and many pairs of over long trousers. I wonder if it is a bit of a status statement about not needing to worry about getting mucky hems.

I think Meghan's gold choker is beautiful.

Well overly long clothes hides bunions and other foot issues.

Long clothes are supposed to elongate. Could be a height thing 🤷‍♀️

Meghan is short waisted though. If you've ever watched Suits, the wardrobe mistress was a genius dressing her. Have a Google.

I like her black and white dress and her white evening dress. The evening dress is one of the few formal things she's worn that I think suits her. The black and white is exactly the sort of print I thought she'd choose and it looks nice.
