the all-brown ensemble looks better, IMO, rather than with the silver dress. ;)
 
I like the way she recycles her clothes.Her style is distinctive,clean line.elegant and clearly she has now developed a style on her own.She wears the clothes as it is it's not all over the place.I love the colour she choose bright but not loud.
 
I see nothing wrong with Letizia recycling her clothes. I think when any woman gets gorgeous new outfit that makes her look and feel beautiful, they want to wear it more than just once. Plus it shows she has the right priorities, she's not just frivously spending money on expensive outfits then discarding them after wearing it just once. I think she's very practical.
 
Letizia recycles clothes beautifully and is very practical about it. But IMO all the princesses pretty much are. They seem to recycle around the same amount but some have more time in between the recycling. One of my favorite day-time event outfits of Letizia was definitely the lavendar jacket with the plum colored skirt. The cut looked good on her and the colors were gorgeous so I was happy to see her repeat the outfit just one month later. :) She also looks good in creams/whites and she seems to recycle those a fair amount also. Letizia seems to recycle her dark colors more such as her grays and blacks (which are sad colors) but then again Spain's had a pretty somber past year. Anyway she goes; she looks gorgeous!
 
If I bought a jacket and I really liked it, almost wanna have it 24 hours, and someone said to me; please reinvent yourself and buy a new jacket, I would go absolutely :mad: :mad: :mad:

I agree with those of you who think it's wise to recycle one's clothes.

Not only for economic reasons, but also because clothes get more comfortable when you were them several times. The clothes Letizia only wears once she obviously hates and never wants to wear again ;)
 
I agree. If you feel comfortable in something then by all means you should wear it again. Being a CP and being constantly photographed must be daunting enough without worrying about what you'r wearing. If you feel confident in how you look you will automatically be more relaxed. An item of clothing shouldn't be disgarded just because you wore it once. However, it surprises me a little that people are so surprised that princesses recycle outfits. I would be more surprised if they never did!!
 
Easter in Mallorca

From deadline and face to face

 
Skirt from the spring-summer 2005 collection of Angel Schlesser, no doubt the jacket is from Varela, the shouldpads are unmistakeble

Thanks to dkaren who posted it on RB
 
That's one of the things I like most about Letizia, that unlike Mary she doesn't act or seem to think of herself as a fashion model or clothes horse. Her clothes no matter what she is wearing are immaculate and well-cut and most importantly flatter her. When you're petite like Letizia it can be a nigtmare finding suits that fit and look good and yet she always pulls her clothes off with flair and style.

I also loved Letizia. The way she dresses. She's just so breathtaking! She's a very beautiful woman that's why her style is so classic. Mary is pretty that's why her style is trendy. Well that is just my opinion. If you look at her clothes you will see that everything in her dress is so perfect. She can carry whatever she wears without any hesitation. Letizia for me is an epitome of a great woman. She doesn't seem to think of herself as a fashion icon instead she wears clothes because she has a duty to perform not as a fashion icon. It's really good that when you look at Letizia you would initially look straight at her face not on what she is wearing and for me if you are a public person your personality should be noticed first than your clothes as the case of other CP.

I'm very found of the Letizia's wardrobs, it's refined and conveniant, a little bite sofisticated whithout chi-chi; in her case what does mean borring because all the diary activities are allways the same and it's difficult to have outfit very different to a same kind official act. The Letizia'attitud is not to be a high designer's model and I think she succeed very well especially since her return after the Leonor's birth to have the right style, : elegant, discreat more glamour whithout catching the attention, executive and femine at the same time.

The Princess has to answer at many important requirements : she has to adapt herslf at each act with an adecuat outfit considering that for it she has to travel a lot very often during one day for two or three acts ( flights, helicopters, cars) she can give the impression that she is not spending a lot of money at the same time she has to be very well and attractive dressed; attractive bot not so much because she is the heer princess and not an actress and she has to keep the first role to her husband.

Her functions aren't very simple and all the women who are representative and quite executive activities know that, it's a true headache that Letizia has to resolve considering an others elements that I nearly forgot : the weather and her numerous official act by a month.

If you analyse all this items, I find that Letizia succeed very well in her way to dress her.
 
i´m agree with you adelaide.It´s a very intelligent argument
 
Yes I agree, but I think Felipe Varelas jackets usually looks terrible on her, they have big shoulderpads which gives her perfect figure a strange shape and he has like no imagination, they all mostly look the same in different colours. Also the satin he insits on using looks quite cheap IMO. He made some nice coats though, like the one for Leonors christening and the sports gala. I like much more the suits by Adolfo Dominguez (the one for the Fallas is one of my favourits) and hope she will choose more from Angel Schlesser whos collections are very beautiful IMO

Yes, she is repeating but it's was not her aim bacause this activity was not in her official program since a long time and we can think it's her travelling clothes. I say that because her pants is more casual than formal. May be I'm wrong.:rolleyes: What do you think about my explanation ?

Yes, the visit to the hospital had a private character and that's why there were no photos inside it (actually, the Spanish royal family is rarely pictured with diseased people, as to preserve their privacy). As for the visit to Girona, they went there to attend the Copa del Rey of basketball in wheelchairs, so although not private, it was also a low-profile event, as you say. ;)

I wasn't aware of that. It's a very sweet gesture by the family.

I agree on your points Carlota, especially about Letizia wanting to be know more for her work than for being a fashion icon.

I find it interesting that she has such distinctive styles professionally and personally. That when representing Spain she looks one way and when out and about with friends and family she looks another way. To me, that represents true style -- that she has such distinctive looks and can categorize them so without losing the core of who she is as an individual.

I like that she is more daring in her personal style, and I think that if she were so in her professional style, it would be a bit distracting. Think about some of the other princesses for whom we notice first what they are wearing and secondly what they are representing. With Letizia there is never a question of what comes first, which reminds me a lot of how Sofia conducts herself.

Thank you for summing up so eloquently exactly what I think! One of the reasons I like Letizia so much is that you can tell she clearly chooses to dress down for her "work". She'd rather be known for the event she's attending. After all she's clearly a very stylish woman so it wouldn't be difficult for her to look fabulous and chic at every Royal duty, but she hooses not to (o at least that's the way it seems).

Moreover, it shows that in alot of ways she's still very "normal"; like most people she has a work wardrobe and a personal wardrobe and she doesn't like to mix the two.
 
what ever she wears ,Princess Letizia , is always smart and elegant, And I find her wearing several times the sames clothes nice, because it meens that She doesn't like dump money by the windows, like other Princesses, sometimes from very poor contries.....

This kind of shirts fits very well to Letizia. It's to bad that she can't wear it more often

A very thrifty decision in an environment where the governing socialists would not hesitate to reel in any member of the RF who aspired to too much extravagence. Undoubtedly, she has a very wise and attentive staff.
