Royal Style: Bring on the Summer Bling!

[Maireas]

Royal Style: Summer's lease will soon be here, as will summer style, we hope!

I think it’s a lovely silhouette. She really likes a pretty print

I would like Sophies jacket when she is finished with it.
I'm really fed up with things being described as linen blend when they are 20 percent linen and 80 percent other things. Im sure the royal ladies are protected from that horror. Possibly not the brown slacks though.

Reading it's a summer palace they'll be using again.

PoW today. Not my favourite along with brown I also hate beige / camel!

I love camel, beige and taupe. I’m a light spring in CMB
I don’t think they suit Kate. She is supposed to be a summer and can wear pale grey and lilac.
They are two colours I can’t wear

Gorgeous outfit on Sophie. Her shoes pull the outfit together. better than espadrilles or wedges.

Not a fan of Kates look today. It’s not brown brown but it’s still….brown.

That's a lovely outfit on Sophie, I think she changed into a very elegant navy dress later on but I can't find the picture again.

I can't get excited about Kate in brown/beige/camel. It's sort of 'ok' and seems to be a staple of her workwear wardrobe. Just to help out the stylists I have sourced her an evening dress for the Italy trip...

😀

That dress reminds me a bit of the dress Diana wore on a visit to Japan that had huge dots on a white background to mimic the Japanese flag.

😂 I actually quite like that!

Me too! It would be gorgeous in heavy silk.

🤣 don't tempt her!

I like Kate's trouser suit, I think it's a nice shade - latte? Plus, the cut looks good (although she's sitting down)

It's okay actually. I do like the blouse neckline.

Agreed hard to tell sitting down.

I like the look very much, but am biased as I have a very similar work suit - from Reiss though, rather than Roland Mouret! I also wear it over white tops, though I do tend to go for more interesting shoes.

I thought she looked fine today.

No there’s something odd about the length between crotch and waistband? I actually think the suit looks cheap. I like her blouse though and her hair looked very nice

Beige is definitely not her colour. Imagine the suit in burgundy or forest green, like some of the others she has?

If we had more reliable weather here I'd go for pastels, but they have to plan so far ahead, unlike Leti who digs out the summer wardrobe much earlier.

This was only a London engagement though, so not sure her ensemble would've had to be planned that far ahead.

She had a fantastic red trouser suit, I've not seen that since.

A lovely selection including the red one.

Yep..so many lovely suits.Much better than today’s. Maybe she’s saving the knock out looks till next week although its very much a working visit by the sounds of it

I'd forgotten about the pin-striped suit, but that's a really good look. The gold buttons are a bit dated, but it's not hard to replace them.
