It´s fine to be modern and look like a person of your time, but edgy? trendy? No. Edgy and trendy things tend to look very dated later. It´s not a good strategy for someone representing the country and standing for tradition, continuity and regalness. <br />I´m not suggesting that she should go for luxury labels (which often look very trendy too because high-end designers need to re-invent fashion all the time in order to be relevant and sell their stuff). I´m all for using domesting design and applying an economic approach to fashion. The point is that she should focus on things that flatter her and that give her gravitas for the role she has. I´d stay away from labels altogether. In fact, I could find perfectly suitable items in local shops in my small town and pay a fraction of what her H&M stuff costs.Vanessahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18105731339136941333noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2065972902087062391.post-7454506432065362652017-11-26T06:32:07.322+00:002017-11-26T06:32:07.322+00:00This is a good point.

Here is another perspective: When you do not like them (i often agree with you ), she is always wearing clothes from edgy, very trendy, "young" swedish fashion designers like Acne, Dagmar, Rodebjer, Stylein, Carin Wester, Filippa K often mixing it up with swedish H&M. I think she is well aware that she is wearing something unconventional for a crown princess but she keeps to her agenda to represent the real sweden to her fingertips, not always wearing given brands like saab, valentino, herrera, boss that we would all go, "ohh, ahhh, wow beautiful/stylish/impeccable" and sometimes" how can she wear a dress so expensive on tax payers money" over. <br /><br />She is well aware that these edgy choises will not be admired by everyone (although the erdem h&m collab sold out faster than you can say ruffle) at the same time they are almost always more affordable. When you sometimes say ugly, oversized (sooo in fashion, not a bad fit), sometimes dowdy and old fashioned many people would say she is quite trendy, modern, economical, very edgy and to be frank, in a good way rather ballsy...Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12045918495159579912noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2065972902087062391.post-1567225896056456802017-11-25T16:42:16.258+00:002017-11-25T16:42:16.258+00:00She'll be the queen one day, not the regent.

There's no reason she couldn't wear elegant and stylish clothes with clean lines that would suit her, and would still project the serious and mature look she seems to be trying for - mostly unsuccessfully.Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12177473785404861795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2065972902087062391.post-67217762027388623842017-11-25T10:53:04.472+00:002017-11-25T10:53:04.472+00:00Criticizing her fashion choices (this is a fashion...Criticizing her fashion choices (this is a fashion blog) does not imply criticism of her work ethic.

I mean, she looks appropriate, yes, but there is so much wasted potential, why not use it?<br />I can only assume that some of it has to do with her role - (maybe now that she´s turned 40?) she probably sees a need to come across as more serious as the other princesses because she´ll be the regent one day. In the past, the queen regents have dressed differently than the queen consorts. So I think Victoria applies a similar approach to fashion as Elisabeth, Margrethe and Beatrix - all well dressed stately woman, but with an older-than-their-years look and a more serious style than the others who are free to go for a more glamourous look. <br />Secondly, Victoria is known to not be interested in fashion and styles, and is as such relying on a stylist. And I think what we are witnessing is an über-ambitious stylist who makes her wear all these things that do her no favour. Scandinavian styling used to be straightforward, no-nonsense with clean lines but has mutated into a retro frilly try-hard kind of mess. <br />Also, it doesn´t help that Victoria tries to please her H&M friend as it makes her go for what they´ve got and want promoted rather than what suits her and her position. <br />Anyway, only my two cents, but I´ve noticed this change in her style along with many others, and it is concerning. I really wish she would go for a simpler, more timeless style and radiate regal elegance while still looking her age, instead of making me cringe pretty much every time I see a new photo of her.

There have always been Fauxpas in earlier times from time to time but inbetween she wore stunning dresses and outfits - simply WOW.<br />Meanwhile the WOWs are lacking completely, only a series of more or less Fauxpas. She looks so much older than she is. She is still a young mother but she dresses like a becoming granny. I hope for the Nobel Prize Awards, perhaps we may see her then in a stunning evening-gown?? I like her so much but I cannot understand her style at the moment.
