It’s freezing in Scotland. Which is why you wear a stylish dress, maybe in wool, inside. And a coat outside. These two things are different. |
1- for coat dresses, so maybe we’re at -2 now. It’s a 30-year-old style, and the word “style” is being generous. It’s someone’s idea of a serious outfit, but other royals have found ways to do “serious” without literally boxing themselves in. I Pretty sure nobody here would champion them if a Kardashian wore them, or if they weren’t Kate’s go-to. |
Then march yourself on over to Talbots and you too can own Kate’s look. |
Really beautiful dresses and completely appropriate. |
I disagree. It's a great look and I'm also tall and slim. Much more current for that look than a full-length sleeve. |
I disagree, it is an unflattering look. Looks like "big man little jacket" to borrow from.a skit. |
Not beautiful and appropriateness can be questioned |

I mean, I don't love Kate's after-wedding jacket, but it's fine.
It adds texture (is that mohair?) and geometry (those 3/4 sleeves) to what's otherwise a fairly uninteresting after-wedding dress (there's a difference between simple elegance and boring). A longer jacket would have clashed with Kate's signature very high-waisted outfits. And a pashmina scarf would have looked dumb. |
I meant to add, the only thing that's going on with that after-wedding dress is the sparkling waistband and what looks like some slight Tudor-era hip padding directly underneath. A longer jacket would have hidden the waistband. So bring on the short jacket. |
You knew the actual Queen? |
I believe that. |
