MUCH better shade of green, Kate! I wouldn’t say the shade of green was the most glaring problem…

I saw that King Felipe is at Wimbledon. I'm sad to report that I'm the only one in my house to care/know who he is.
I think it's awesome that he's there to support his countryman. And I am so happy Carlos won.

MUCH better shade of green, Kate! What, you didn’t like the neon yellow tennis ball dress she wore? I agree, this darker Kelly green is much better and very on trend right now. I just wish the whole family wasn’t quite to matchy-matchy. They all look good individually, but it’s a bit much all together.

Their designs are not good.

Anyone up for a deep dive on King Felipe's excellent tailoring?

I’ve been sewing for 35+ years and I loved this thread. Men have it so much easier when it comes to custom tailoring and it kills me to see so many sloppy looks out there. I’ve never made a men’s suit jacket, but now I want to try. I never realized the lapel proportion and point to shirt collar is what I find off on so many men’s jackets. I get it for off the rack, cheaper ready wear, but not for anyone with any kind of money or who wear suits daily.
There is no reason for men to have pools of fabric above their shoes. Heel heights don’t vary that much in men’s dress shoes. Allowing for one break means it will always fit even if you wear a higher heel bootie. I’m forever using double sided fashion tape in the hem of my dress pants b/c of flats vs heels now that I keep a smaller selection of business clothes.

I sent the tailoring tweet to MH and we just had the best convo about men’s suits 🤣

Much better, although I don't care for the asymmetrical shoulder bit. Seems like it would be poking her all day the way it sticks up.

That fucking twee bow pin. Like SO CLOSE LADY. I forget exactly what but that pin has something to do with the tennis club that hosts Wimbledon. I googled and remain unsure exactly what, but chalk it up to rich people shenanigans.

She wears it as the patron of AELTC, which is the venue for Wimbledon (like Churchill Downs is for the Kentucky Derby).

And the older man next to her in a photo a few days ago was wearing a pin in similar colors. I assumed it was some official plaid designating them as patrons or something like that. ‘’ETA Nvermind, I see this has been covered.

I think King Felipe is the hottest royal man, by far.

I love that Twitter account. I also love that he uses people like Matt Gaetz as examples of terrible tailoring 😆

The Belgian royals on their National Holiday. Scroll down the thread to see their kids March in the parade in military uniforms for the first time. I love that Mathilda and her kids form the Belgian flag with their outfits.

I really don’t like the flat top, wide brim hat look. It looks off to me 90% of the time. Just not a fashion trend for me.

Did we talk about William essentially evicting Charles from the cottage on the Llwynywermod estate so he can make it a rental?
That's sort of delicious karma.
