Royal Style: summer's end, but not for style ❤️

[Maireas]

The end of summer lies ahead, but we're hoping for more bling!

Haha, those AI royal accounts are so weird! I remember liking that look on Kate at the time but now it looks a bit costume-y.

She was probably visiting somewhere with a nautical connection. In the early days she did love the literal dressing! Parodied quite sweetly on "The Windsors".

But surely it's a 'sweet nod to her mother-in-law'.

Always!

Hello all

Been a bit awol (life!🤷🏻‍♀️) but looking forward to catching up.

I love PoW look. I don’t think they’re jeans, I think they’re more like these, https://acaioutdoorwear.com/collections/womens-skinny-outdoor-trousers/products/max-stretch-skinny-outdoor-trousers-forest-green
which are perfect for today’s activities. Anything wider than a skinny/slim fit would personally do my head in when being active!

Hello again, @locketrocket! I know what you mean about wide trousers, but surely super skinny just cling more when wet? Are these a special fabric?

They're these jeans but a fairly lightweight denim, I'd imagine, plus very stretchy.

Right, a Jodhpur jean

Yes, they’ve generally got some type of weather “protection” on them.

I’ve had my eye on Açai stuff for a while, now they have a sale on and I’ve gone down a rabbit hole 🙈🤣

I have those Açai stretch jeans and I thought they were what HRH was wearing. But they don’t come in brown

I have the Acai stretchy trousers too, I wear them for hiking and outdoorsy stuff. They're waterproof and you can get fleece-lined ones too. They're so much better than "traditional" walking trousers which are inevitability flappy and get in the way. Can recommend 👌🏻

Thank you!

My granddaughters wear jodhpur tights, I've just bought them some for their birthday. I think they're too thin and not suitable for cold wet weather. But hey ho what does a grandmother know 😂

Actually, @locketrocketand others have answered my question - apparently the trousers are for the outdoors and have a special coating!

My DIL wears Holland and Cooper outdoor clothing it's very popular. Again I think it's fashion over practical. It's really not practical country clothing.

Yes, I've noticed that it's really popular

Rania really is oit and aboit lately. The red dress is a fabulous shape. I might've liked the shade to be a little darker, maybe the colour of the skirt the Czech first lady is wearing.

The dress I like. Very good shape. The shoes I'm not keen on. I like the First Lady's outfit.

What do we think? Char has been looking really good of late, however I'm not keen on this dress. Hair and makeup lovely, and she's looking well, but I don't think the sleeve situation works.

Hmm. It reminds me of an ad I’ve seen lately with some bloke only wearing half an outfit on a bike. Insurance I think. Something to do with only being half covered by other companies 🤔😆

It's a no from me, and the dishwater colour washes her out.

But a return to form tonight!

😂 I know what you mean! Yet often one shoulder, or off the shoulder works well, doesn't it?! It's just a bit strange here.

Now this dress does suit her. Someone tell me who I've seen wearing it before. I've wracked my brain trying to remember.
