The couple then visited the British Factory House in Porto.
Soler Villamarie Bea Ankle Length Dress
She used to dress proper back in the days, I wonder what happened!
ردحذفBold colours are more appropriate for official events such as these!
She is dressing “proper” (or “properly” as we who speak properly like to say). She has on a dress and shoes, and has styled her hair very beautifully. Just because you don’t like the clothes doesn’t mean they’re not “proper”!
حذفI do not like the style of the dress nor the color. The sleeves are making the dress matronly. And again she is wearing espadrilles, inside a building where the floor is even and flat, I suppose.
ردحذف@matronly: What does it mean, does this word cover everything that is disliked? - The aforementioned sleeves are not "matronly", they are sloppy, as is befitting for the quite casual style of this dress which is fine for some more casual occasions. But sure not for this one.
حذفI’ll object not to your opinion, which you are free to have, no problem. But by the derogatory use of “matronly”. Is there another adjective you could use there?
حذفQuelle surprise, a long, fussy dress in a small all-over print (and another pair of espadrilles). This outfit is common in the English countryside, but I’m not sure it makes sense elsewhere.
ردحذفIt’s a very popular style right now in European summer, so no problem with the choice.

حذفI wonder where in Europe women are wearing such dresses ? I do not see it in my country and since there are a lot of people of other European countries who are working or living temporary in my country I can see a variety of dress styles, but I never see women wearing the type of dresses the Duchess is wearing.
She looks very nice. I feel that she dresses for the English country side. Prince Edward also dress like a country gentleman most of the time, today no double breasted jacket. They wear what they feel comfortable in, including shoes. What I do like is the way her hair is tied back, away from her face yet still leaving some length.Princess Victoria of Sweden should try this technique, I think her hair would work well like this.
ردحذفI think the espadrilles are the most comfortable for her. It's a heel without being a heel. When most women reach a certain age the foot arch just won't let you wear cute heels anymore. I think that's what's happening with the Duchess. (I could be wrong.) In turn, espadrilles are not going to work with a proper suit, proper dress, or dresscoast. So here we are. With the exception of Ascot, Rememrance Day, and the like, it's either espadriles or suede boots.
ردحذفThere are always explanations, the simplest being that dearest Sophie has a poor taste for her outfit choices. But fashion blogs are not there to explain away poor outfit choices by whatever comes to mind if someone wants to "defend" the poor choice. Much older women than Sophie found tasteful solutions.
حذفI agree with 23:19
حذفFor goodness sake everyone this is getting ridiculous. There is constructive criticism and there is nonsense for nonsenses sake.
ردحذفexactly. she is dressed in a pretty dress with ordinary shoes. she is neat and not inappropriate. i do wonder what some of the people commenting wear day by day
حذفSophie bashing ? Again ? I'm getting fed up reading the same thing over and over. Try to think of something positive to comment. Maybe something nice ?
ردحذفI don't find her dress and shoes very attractive. There are so many elegantly and chicly dressed royal ladies, some older than Sophie, that I just can't get excited about her clothing choices.
ردحذفThe cut and style is for a younger woman - she needs a new stylist.
