Perhaps this was true before, but modern queens and princesses use absolutely earthly things. And fashion too. In addition to an impressive wardrobe, they have one distinguishing feature - an exceptional sense of style.

Let's take a closer look at the fashion of European royalty and find out why they are considered the most stylish women of our time.

Sonya even had a goal - to become a member of the family business selling clothes.

Now the queen is already over 80, but she continues to look very “fresh”. So, she can be found in a trouser suit, the accessory of which is a light scarf.

What can we learn from Their Majesties?

To summarize, I would like to highlight several general rules that explain the concept of “royal style”.

  • The first is the “golden” rule: everything in moderation! Discreet elegance, devoid of extravagance and “flashy” details, comes to the fore.
  • Open shoulders are inappropriate at social events (except when wearing long gloves).Wearing miniskirts is also unacceptable: they should hide the knees or be a palm higher.
  • You need to wear clothes that will not highlight inappropriate places.

Reference! Often, weighting fabric is hemmed under the skirt so that gusts of wind do not provoke an incident.

  • In public places you should always wear tights that are flesh-colored and without any patterns.
  • Clothes are selected exclusively from high-quality natural fabrics.
  • The possibility of wearing denim is excluded.
  • If you want a little luxury, you can afford a small fur hat or collar.

Important! A large amount of fur, according to the royals, looks vulgar.

  • Lack of black color. It is generally accepted that such clothing is mourning. That's why ladies wear dark blue or dark gray.
  • Take care of your hair. Hair should be neatly styled or tied into a bun.
  • Avoid flashy accessories and their abundance. This rule is closely intertwined with the first, which states that there should be moderation of everything. And yet, decorations should always be appropriate. For example, it is completely inappropriate to wear diamond earrings to the beach. Well, you get the idea!

Dear young ladies and charming ladies! You don't have to follow strict rules of royal etiquette to look like a princess. But there is still a lot to learn from them. Why not try to become a queen for your surroundings?
