What girl hasn't dreamed of becoming a princess? Haven't you imagined yourself in beautiful dresses? To this day, many people associate the royal image with something unearthly and unattainable. 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.
How do European queens dress?
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.
Elizabeth II (UK)
Over the years, Her Majesty's style has become recognizable. She can be called a real royal fashion trendsetter.
Reference. The favorites in the British Queen's wardrobe are two-piece suits of the same tone and sheath dresses, which she usually wears in tandem with a coat.
And, of course, the queen is especially fond of hats.There are about five thousand of them in her wardrobe!
Elizabeth has images not only for social events, but also for everyday life. For example, for a country holiday, the queen’s wardrobe contains quilted jackets and colorful scarves.
Important! For patriotic reasons, Her Majesty dresses exclusively from British designers, who consider it an honor to tailor something for the Queen herself.
Sonya (Norway)
Queen Sonja was born into an ordinary Norwegian family and was the youngest of four children. She, like probably most residents of Norway, was fond of winter sports. It was at a youth camp that she met her future husband, Prince Harald.
The future queen's hobbies, in addition to skiing, included sewing. She always joked to herself that she was the best at sewing, excluding skiing.
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.
Or in a beautiful dress, tailored in a traditional Norwegian style, and this image was complemented by a beautiful hairpin with flowers.
She is not afraid of bright colors, as evidenced by her appearance in long flowing dresses: yellow, light green, blue, fuchsia.
At official events, Sonya appears in luxurious floor-length satin dresses, and her head is adorned with a traditional crown.
Margrethe II (Denmark)
The Danish Queen (79 years old) has always been known for her passion for creativity. This is an artistic nature with multifaceted interests. The theatrical line can be seen in her wardrobe.
Of course, the status obliges you to follow clear regulations in the selection of outfits.But she has learned to combine restraint with interesting accessories.
These can be flirty brooches, scarves or a fur stole. An integral part of the wardrobe are hats decorated with feathers.
Her Majesty does not neglect dresses of interesting cut.
You can also see her wearing a fan T-shirt of her favorite team.
This is probably why she enjoys special love among her people.
Silvia (Sweden)
At 75 years old, she is cheerful and cheerful, and is actively involved in charity work.
She loves maxi dresses, with intricate, intricate cuts and varied details.
Important! The Swedish Queen differs from other royalty in that she practically does not wear a hat.
If the occasion allows, then she would rather decorate her head with a diadem or crown.
Maxima (Netherlands)
No one could imagine that an Argentine would one day marry a Dutch king and become a princess!
But everything turned out just like that, and now Maxima (47 years old) has become part of the royal family of the Netherlands. As you know, Argentines are distinguished by their bright individuality, which is clearly visible in the image of the royal person.
This is despite following the strict rules of royal etiquette.
This smiling woman can even make her everyday wardrobe bright and not boring.
Unusual accessories like a poncho or large jewelry are a good addition to her looks.
Combination shirt-jeans unacceptable to this lady. Her strong point is femininity.
Attending various events of national importance requires you to follow a business style. But even here the princess tries in every possible way to dispel the “official” boredom. Instead of monochrome colors and formal dresses, she chooses bright colors and catchy details.
Her outfits should favorably emphasize the dignity of her figure. Maxima complements her looks with beautiful hats.
Letizia (Spain)
Queen of Spain at 46 years old has proven herself to be a true fashionista. You can be convinced of this only by looking at her photographs.
She allows herself to appear in public in leather culottes, bright tops and dresses with floral prints.
Important! Her wardrobe contains outfits from famous designers and clothes from mass markets like Zara.
For social events, Letizia chooses a more formal style, but still adds a touch of daring to it. Her known weaknesses are handbags and shoes..
Mathilde (Belgium)
The youngest European queen turned 46 in January 2019.
She was born and raised in a real aristocratic family. Her parents are a Belgian count and a Polish countess.
They gave their daughter not only an excellent education, but also an excellent upbringing. Matilda is also actively involved in charity work.
Unlike her “colleagues” in the highest status, Matilda not afraid to look flashy.
She experiments with cuts and colors and wears provocative accessories. On it you can see things even in bright acid colors.
The surprising thing is that she still manages to look very feminine and sophisticated.
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?
