Royal Style: Hoping for Yuletide shimmer, but not too many green coats!

[Maireas]

Evening! Just setting up the next thread in case the other one fills up!

The earrings for 2022 look interesting.

Late joining as I have been away but thanks for the new thread.

The 2022 earrings are Sézane. I wonder if they were a gift from her French sister in law?

Of those Christmas looks I like the first - 2011 - and last year best in terms of what I would wear. I love a bit of green and also burgundy and some of the others have too many shiny buttons or fur trim for me to wear. She does look great in 2022 though - again I like the colour but those pocket flaps are weird.

As someone who missed out on a bosom, I quite like a bit of detail there. Puts me more in proportion.

Whereas Id have someone’s eye out! I wish I could wear something like that.

A bit of an update on Mette Marit, and a lovely festive family photo.
She's awaiting a lung transplant, but is going to have some intensive treatment, so fingers crossed 🤞

Another late joiner, been bonkers busy moving house - hello all!👐
I wish Kate would wear something fun for the church walk, like a leopard print coat! As long as the base layers were a plain chocolate brown, that would look awesome!
Just as long as it's not another green coat!

Waves to Eaumyword! 👋

We should run a book. Definitely not leopard print or a cape, I don't think. Unless one of those caped sleeved outfits? As much as I'd like sunshine yellow or cream, I doubt that, too.
I'm guessing red or........green 💚

I will say tartan. Red and green.

Blue is my guess.

Definitely a rewear with fur collar or cuffs

Yes, it'll be a re wear.

I'm going for red (to include burgundy).

I’m going for checked (but not tartan). Maybe something like this one but wintered up with a furry scarf and a “county” hat

Im going for camel/beige

Is the prize for this competition a tiara?

Of your choice

Can I guess at 2018's re-wear, though I would prefer 2020 as I like that one myself.

Looking at the styles for the last few years I think I may buy a nice coat in the sales in a size smaller than my current self - I am rubbish at dieting, but also very short, so maybe if I put myself on a wrack I could stretch to Catherine's proportions!

That's actually a really nice look.

I have a fancy for purple, would make a pleasant change.

I think it will be a rewear but not an already worning it to church at Christmas rewear.

That looks like more of a heavy cardigan to me - it's not lined and the material looks quite flappy. (I love, and live in, long cardigans)

I’m going with a county inspired look. Maybe a tweed or light check. A feather in the hat too.

I’m going for a velvet jacket

eta over the top of something of course 😆

I’m going for brown.
