Earlier this spring, Crown Princess Victoria of Sweden visited Strömsholm Palace, located in Hallstahammar Municipality outside Västerås. This Baroque palace is one of Sweden’s ten royal palaces and was commissioned by Queen Dowager Hedvig Eleonora in the late 1660s. Strömsholm Palace is open to the public from June through August for guided tours.
The palace is built on a stone islet at the point where the Kolbäck River flows into Lake Mälaren’s Freden Bay. On the same islet, King Gustav Vasa established a royal estate as early as the 1550s, where horses were bred for the Swedish army. The equestrian tradition continues today—Strömsholm is home to a national riding school.
The palace, with its extensive green surroundings, is a beloved destination for day trips. Couples often choose the romantic palace chapel for their wedding ceremonies. Highlights include the palace’s 18th-century interiors and a significant collection of Swedish paintings.
Victoria always looks fantastic in a coloured trouser suit, tshirt and white sneakers. Such a terrific smart look. The suit fits her really well … but I’ll ask you all, how long do you think this suit jacket trend will last, where the one side doesn’t quite overlap the other side, so there’s a triangle gap at the bottom, which looks great when you just see the jacket as per the marketing picture here without a human inside, but once you put a human in inevitably shows an unflattering smattering of trouser zip, tummy, blouse or all of them? It’s trendy but not classic and I wonder if that means a lot of jackets dumped at the end of the season?
ReplyDeleteYour questions are totally legitimate and relevant.
DeleteBut there is an essential point that has to be taken into account.
Terrific suits like this one are designed for terrific figures like P. Victoria's.
In this case, even whatever might look as a malfunction in the overall design, actually fits like a glove on great body shapes when seen in person
(and I think this is the case for P. Victoria).
Of course, fashion trends are bound to last for a while, then fall into the background and then turn up again in a perpetual, circular cycle.
But the essential point won't change.
Fit bodies can defy any fashion trend and seemingly bizarre cuts imv.
It all depends on the human inside of them.
Super look; thumbs up!
