Royal Style: High Summer, The Chic Continues

[Maireas]

Afternoon Style Mavens!
The threads continue - join us?

Surely George will already be wearing a shirt and tie daily for his school uniform? And if he’s not wearing a blazer already, he soon will be. This is literally a uniform for him now.

It's just a rather unsophisticated way of trying to criticise his parents. Shock, horror, a child is taught to dress well, behave well and be confident in various settings!! OH NO, HOW AWFUL!!

(Never mind the fact that a lot of the things they get to do are exciting and interesting and something a lot of children couldn't ever get to do. There are lots of positives to balance out any potential downsides. Good for them and if they have to dress up a bit every so often I really don't think that will harm them)

Yes, I couldn't agree more. They have quite an outdoor life as I understand it. I'm sure the children are just fine dressing formally now and then!

Our family have been to two weddings recently. Children invited. The girls in pretty dresses the boys in shirts, ties, jackets and trousers.

When my son worked in the middle East he had a couple of linen suits made for him. Said that they were very comfortable to wear in the heat.

When mine were young, they loved dressing up for weddings and events! I think it added to the excitement.

My dh has 4 linen jackets. Are they suitable for the royal box if he's invited? He also has a panama hat.
Or is a more formal jacket needed?
George does look like he is wearing a work outfit. I'm sure he has casual everyday stuff.

My 17yo said he would wear anything they told him to, if he got free tickets to Wimbledon, the Cup final etc 😂
I liked Kate's dress, but would have preferred it shorter and without the shoulder embellishment. Charlotte looked lovely.
I'm a big fan of a wide brimmed straw hat too. I have one which in my head makes me look like a 70's film star it doesn't rather than a slightly overweight middle-aged woman.

I like your son's attitude, @gingercat02 ! 😁

I don't know. I read this.

Can't link.

De-lurking after many threads to share a post by Derek Guy on twitter about why King Felipe’s tailoring is so special. I think that is Albert of Monaco in one of the pictures showing what not to pictures! I found the details in the post very interesting.

We always comment favourably on Felipe's tailoring. I think he's had the right approach, being a very tall man, everything fits so well.

Good point !

Of course he will. As will the vast majority of kids in this country. His secondary school dress is likely to be far more formal than anything he wears to the footie or tennis, and he will be like every other boy at that school, royal or not. Which is why the implication that he’s being dressed in something unreasonable is motivated by something other than concern for his welfare.

Have we already posted the lovely photo of Felipe meeting the children at Wimbledon?

Shame I can't read that link on his tailoring as I'm very interested.

It made me smile that the necklace is £3,375 (so not inexpensive by most people's standards), but you can upgrade the eco-packaging to "luxury gift wrap" for an additional £3. At that price I would want it hand-delivered by a butler

Bet sales of Pandora bracelets will rocket now after Charlotte wearing one yesterday - with 3 charms!

That jeweller is based in my local town I didn’t realise it was doing so well.

😂😂

I didn't see that, can you post it?

There you go (hopefully). Might take a moment for it to be checked

In my opinion the Wales children are always beautifully and appropriately dressed, but I must say that I was surprised and disappointed to see Charlotte wearing nail varnish.

I'll see if I can find it again. I think it was on a Daily Mail article.

In the meantime here's one of them meeting with Sinner the Winner. They had tennis balls signed by him, including one for Louis, so he wouldn't miss out. 🙂

I was surprised and very happy to see Charlotte doing what nearly every other girl her age enjoys doing.

Thanks @smilesy!

I have no issues with Charlotte being allowed to wear nail varnish.
