To help you to describe Joachim's pants using the correct colour next time he uses them, Muhler

It isn't actually. But it's hard to find a pic of Frederik in the navy dress uniform. He usually wear the full dress or gala uniform.
Perhaps someone can help?

That's right, Nordic.
Pale red, just like Joachim's pants.
I didn't post of pic of Frederik's pink pants for comparison though.

I'll take a break for now

and thank you for Henrik and Joachim
Joachim in his pink pants will always be the winner lol

I'm a huge fan of Prince Charles's fashion, but what really get to me is that the British royal men like wearing the same stale and boring suits over and over again. You would think they would mix up their looks every now and then.

Thank you, Muhler & Polyesco, for the wonderful photos of Joachim and Fredrik.

I'm particularly fond of Joachim's camouflage tuxedo and Dr No jacket. Both princes look very smart in uniform! And in general they demonstrate a willingness to wear colour and things that are "different" that I think the British royal men would do well to follow. I'd be delighted if William turned up in a Dr No jacket. I might begin to think he actually had a personality! But the Danes have the precedent of Henrik's choices, and that gives them an advantage.

[AdmirerUS]

We are blessed to have a number of Kings/Princes that are sartorially splendid these days. Joachim and Freddie lead the pack. Delicious!

Looks quite nice, this ensemble does. I like the other guy's tie!

[Muhler]

Thanks, Polyesco. You being our resident Frederik specialist I was in no doubt you could provide us with pics.

Roslyn, I trust the moment Harry and William let their inner hippie out, you'll let us know here?

Indeed, Admire, the menfolks don't have much to work with, so it's fun when they break the conventions.

LadyNimue. That's Christian Kjær, a close friend of PH with whom he banter a lot. His tie is in the pattern of probably the best know china from my and my parents generation: https://d2mpxrrcad19ou.cloudfront.ne...1_fullsize.jpg

But I can also be more serious for a while.

Here are two brands of polo shirts Frederik seems to be fond of:

Abercrombie and Fitch

And Penguin.

Sadly, I think if William did that he would be called out as racially insensitive etc... I understand why they stick to a formula, as the queen does. Leaves less room for critique.

[Roslyn]

I'm obviously missing something. Why would William wearing a jacket like Joaquim's be called out as racially insensitive? I really don't understand what's wrong with wearing a jacket like that. I like the look of that Nehru-style jacket on a man with the right body type, and I think Joaquim looks hot in his!

Because it's like the chinese traditional coats and it could be seen as insensitive use of national clothing. I don't agree, I just say there's a big comfort in going with a "uniform". Especially since the huge line of extremly wired critiques the BRF royals can get (Especially the younger ones)

[Roslyn]

Oh, OK. I would have thought it would have been a compliment, to wear something in a design that was adapted from the Chinese or Indian style. And infinitely more interesting than the boring sameness that we tend to see in the British Royals. Charles has always had a bit of flair, though.

And I just think that William has really boring taste in clothing.

Oh yeah, he definitley does that as well! I'm not saying that! They have super boring clothes both he and Harry. (Although, I have to admit I adorkably love Williams pullover and glasses look!) I was just making a point that I can see the upsides with a boring and predictable style in their position.

I agree. Although sometimes Joachim's choices can be surprising

Here is Frederik with his air force uniform, He doesn't use it often but i think he looks quite dashing in blue
