Camila pulls off that look very well. It suits her.

 Thank you for the pictures, MARG  . They both look nice and casual. Love the shade of Camila's blouse.

I think the swirly outfit fits in really well with what the African people are wearing, and that she is very conscious of how she will look in a group or composite photo. Good job, Camilla!

I do love this casual look on Camilla, she looks completely natural and comfortable. I do wish she would wear more trousers but I know its not what women of the BRF do. That shade of blue is particularly lovely on the Duchess.

I think the closest that we are going to see is her "tropical" wardrobe, as seen on her african tour. Mind you, didn't she wear the beautiful deep blue to William and Catherine's evening reception?

^^^Yes, that is the same blue gown Camilla wore to the evening reception; I posted a photo back in post #118 if interested. And I love when she wears slacks; she totally embraces the environment she's in when she does.

The blue evening dress is a gorgeous color!

Beautiful color on Camilla, the design is magnificent and I love the fabric too!

I like the jacket/coat the Duchess wore today for the Remembrance service,particularly the buttons. A regal/unfussy choice I think.

In complete agreement. Her attire is very simple and occasion-appropriate.

Agreed as well, I like the single row of gold-toned buttons on Camilla's coat and the hat's plume adds a certain flair without going too OTT.

Very smart and chic looking Camilla. Even her poppy adds a special touch.

Indeed, I like how the poppy is positioned above the brooch - the two pieces give a dramatic focal point to the outfit.

To be exact it's not exactly a brooch. It's the 4th Battalion of The Rifles badge. Camilla is royal colonel of this regiment.
