I don't love Kate's suits and stuff often, but she's IDK if she is capable of looking frumpy. She's a tall, slim, good looking woman.
I think it's kind of like when they put George in those silly baby outfits and Charlotte always in knee socks. It's a uniform, and purposefully different from their casual wear so when they take it off they can move more freely.
I just think British Royal Fashion does NOT lend itself to younger people. It's so old in feel - pantyhose and skirt lengths and a bunch of stuff I don't think we even know about. And the Queen is not and has never been well dressed. So it just all fits. I wonder how things will change if/when William actually becomes King. I could see Queen Kate making some changes.

Also in case people forget I often criticize Meghan's clothing too. I don't think anyone was making any accusation of favoritism with Meghan. She wasn't even part of it. It has been said so many times to me it is almost a reaction for me to remind.

I feel like Kate is a jeans and t-shirt girl and possibly relies heavily on a stylist for her work wardrobe. She always looks happier and more comfortable at casual events. E Holmes had a post about the job listing for Kate’s stylist’s replacement for maternity leave.

I often actually like Kates general outfit but hate the styling. It’s usually too buttoned up and fussy for me but if she’s comfortable then keep on Kate. I can imagine being fully buttoned up and longer skirt means she doesn’t have to be on guard for wardrobe malfunctions and can focus on paying attention to the event. It's like Kate (or her stylist) looks at an out and says' "how can I make this look like an extra from the movie 9 to 5?" So many outfits could appear polished and modern but end up stuffy and outdated. I don't get it. Especially when we see the same dress on another royal and the Kate modifications ruin it. I'd rather see Kate invest in some double sided tape and weighted hemlines then her current choices. Please note, if you (general you) like a Kate outfit and would wear it- you do you. It's not a personal attack on you that other people don't like it.

I think anyone can look frumpy in the same way that any size can look bangin' in the right outfit.

I've been down the Kate Middleton closet rabbit hole now. Another one I love: and this one isn't my favorite, but I like the top Again. The shorter hair looks so great. I wish she’d keep it closer to that length.

I’m confused, who said they feel personally attacked [mention]beesquared [/mention] ? We’re literally shooting the shit about people we don’t know and stating personal preference.
Thought it was all in good fun, is someone upset?
I promise I’m not up at night bc [mention]angelashly [/mention] thinks Kate is a frumpy gremlin from Hell*
*obviously kidding

I wish she’d keep it closer to that length. Women in their Late 30s and up need to consider not having super long hair. It’s a generalization that I stand by.

Age looking outfit: Sophie outfit: Even Sophie wouldn't wear that. It's a Laura Ashley bedspread made into a prairie dress for Oregon Trail day in 4th grade.

I think I like a lot of Kate's looks that are solid colors. I just don't like the patterns she chooses and when the dress also goes neck to ankles, it's a lot of fabric to not like.

It was me. I took it personally enough to DM @icedtea to tell her we are fighting. This is true 😂 I've caused much strife with my "middle aged" comment. I don't think anyone feels personally attacked otherwise tho. I wouldn't even wear most of what Kate does, because we have very different builds. I don’t think we can even have a thorough conversation about what “middle aged” means without tagging Pizzaslut

I feel like Kate is a jeans and t-shirt girl and possibly relies heavily on a stylist for her work wardrobe. She always looks happier and more comfortable at casual events. This is the bench I sit on. I think I dress like an old librarian (give me all the plaid skirts and pussy bow tops to go with them). It's also why she shines through as happiest when she's in jeans, sweaters, sports attire, relaxed wear. That tik tok I feel kind of explains what's going on! She probably doesn't care, and therefore lets others pick! I wish she did dress her age, but I also understand that she probably has a team of people who are trying to channel Diana and the people's attraction to Diana. She also has a husband, and future king to contend with, who probably has his own thoughts of how she dresses.
