Muhler, I have seen a few pairs of men's suits that said Wash and Wear. I would not trust them for myself or Prince William. What if the coat sleeves shrank?

That would explain quite a few things! At least in regards to pants.

I won't mention names but William and Haakon have numerous times been seen wearing pants that looks like they have shrunk. ?

90 degrees?!? I thought it mean 90 minutes. Ups, what a pity. :D

Frederik today visiting his cousin's Nikolaos photo exhibition. Rocking the business causual look to perfection for this non-official outing.

Nice polished shoes, nice coat, and a shirt that kinda flows nicely with his wife's shoes ;)

Eeh, every bit Frederik is wearing is fine in it's own right, but together!?! :ohmy:

On what planet do you combine brown shoes with dark blue/black pants?
And dark pants with a light grey jacket? That's something high school teachers and news-anchors do - says so in their contract when they are employed.
And where's the contrast? A light grey jacket needs a strong contrast. Either a dark color or a strong color. Not a pale pink shirt but a strong color, red, blue, lilac, anything or a pattern or at least a vividly colored tie.
And there is a reason gentlemen doesn't bury their hands in their pockets while wearing a suit, right Frederik? Because it makes the suit look like it's about to commit suicide, right Frederik?

It's clear that someone had taken control of Frederik's wardrobe and burned every item that wasn't stylish. Good job, Mary!
This is a typical example of what happens if you allow your husband to dress himself in the morning. He is probably delighted with the result and pleased with himself. - And this is where the experienced wife says: "You look good, honey." And caress the cheek of her husband.
It's positive reinforcement, something Mette-Marit and Kate hasn't learned yet. It's the same procedure as when you teach a puppy, there really isn't that much difference.
Many a sad divorce could be avoided if wives would follow this simple advise: Decide what your husband should wear in advance. Place the outfit on his favorite clothes-chair (for some men it's the floor, but that's genetic and can't be helped) and when he puts it on you caress his cheek and praise him. Then you send him on his way, or give him a catalogue with tools or something similar: "You look great, honey. This came in the mail." If your husband had a tail he would wag it. - And be happy. Because this is one more mental burden off his shoulders, so that he can focus on more important things. Like the next Mars expedition. :napoleon:

However, that is not the case here.
This is the dreaded (even though most husbands never realize it) wife-payback. :ermm:
Back in October 2012 Frederik slapped Mary's eeh popo, (as is his habit, as we have all observed over the years) with a remark that her dress seems to have shrunk. And he did it after they had returned from an event!
Big mistake, Frederik!
So Mary planned her revenge. :voodoo: For years when she listened to Frederik snoring in the night, she dreamed about how she would dress him up as silly as possible and send him out in public. :jester:
And all the other experienced wives looked at Frederik, giggled and understood... :D?:D

And since Mary after years of hard work has trained Frederik to put on whatever she lay out for him, she can do it again and again...
All good things comes to she who can wait...

It's true, my neighbor's wive, who knows everything, told me. ?
 
After seeing many of Henrik and Joachim's sartorial choices, I can totally believe that Fred dresses himself and puts effort in deciding which colors, patterns and textures he's going to assault us with.
 
you guys are funny, Frederik is very stylish :cool:

Frederik during his working visit to Canada.
Starting yesterday with a lovely tie. That color is fantastic

:cool:
 
Yes, i think Frederik's ties are :cool:!!!
 
All three of Frederik's ties are cheerful. A cheerful tie can give a royal man confidence.
 
He is very fond of that vicar-look, eh? ?
Even in a blue shirt, he still makes these Freudian slips.
 
What do you think of Prince William wearing a green sweater?

I would welcome it. Anything beyond blue, grey or brown is a win for William :D He once wore a purple sweater so there might be some hope one day ;)

Yes, Harry looks very smart in navy. He's wearing a lot of pale and quite plain ties lately though. I want some of his more playful ones back.
 
The same couple in the light green outfits attend a ceremony at the parliament in Kuala Lumpur:

Now, that's a bowtie! :cool::cool: - Who is the boring attired dude next to the bowtie? :cool::cool:

The Duke of Sussex at the Veteran's Mental Health Conference in London today, March 14:

Harry can wear a suit, but this one is sleep inducing.
Where is the pang? Where is the nerve?

No handkerchief.
No sparkling cuff-links.
Where is the dazzling tie?
Where is the lapel pin?
 
Agreed! Except for the lapel pin. When on earth did it become de rigour for men to wear advertising pins that require people to invade their personal space just to enable them to identify the flavour of the day?
 
I have to flee out the door - but check out the POW's tie are he hits the Caribbean. It's the last thing I expected and not in a terrible way. :flowers:

Charles is becoming more and more whimsical in his fashions. Can someone please tell me just what is on his tie? For the life of me, I cannot figure it out.

With that tie and his wind blown hair and that huge smile he's wearing, he puts me in mind of Albert Einstein only Einstein had the audacity to stick out his tongue. I'll give Charles two more years before he does that. This photo was taken on Einstein's 72nd birthday. :D

Just a note from a galaxy far, far away. Einstein was born on March 14th. Stephen Hawking died on March 14. March 14th (3.14) is Pi day.

Granted, the jacket still seems too small in the waist (that one button is holding on for dear life): https://dam-audiovisuel.coe.int/pre...jNbMVVFBDsBb15vDioNMwAzBDlSelNlCmAEIQI0UTMGNQ

BUT. BUUUUUTTTTT!!! https://dam-audiovisuel.coe.int/pre...jNbMVVFBDsBb15vDioNMwAzBDlSelNlCmAEIQI0UTMGNQ Look at the shoes! They're not brown! They're not suede (or felt or carpet or whatever those ugly things he normally wears are made of.) It's a miracle!

A miracle indeed. But as with other wonders, there is a price to pay.

When you force Haakon into new shoes, his torso swells up.
It's a common phenomenon seen among middle aged men. The technical term is Pedeimpossibilitus Torsoswellius.
