I knew when I saw the pictures of the violet velveteen jacket, people would perhaps comment negatively...But I like it! It shows confidence, rebelliousness, eccentricity and flair, individuality...And it is definitely NOT boring...who wants to see yet another prince or politician in a boring navy/black blazer...
And being so bound by rules and protocols and tradition, maybe the only way Frederik is able to express himself is through the clothes he chooses to wear...Keep them coming, I say :)

OK, obviously Mary's fashion sense does not rub off on Frederick. Bless him, but his wardrobe is a bit out of touch with reality. Mary should have pitched that jacket when he was in Florida.

I'm definitely with you on this one and meant what I said - that I like it. The likeness of most men's suit is so tedious. I enjoy seeing men wearing something else than the safe .... and boring  I honestly don't see what's tacky in men using colours - or why Mary should pinch his suit. Hands off!

What is not to say that Mary was the one who told him to wear the purple suit? Maybe he came out dressed in a navy blazer and she said "That's a bit bland/boring/ordinary darling...what about your lovely purple jacket?"...Maybe Mary actually loves seeing her husband dress in something kooky, quirky, offbeat or unusual? It definitely makes the world more interesting...and geez listen to me hyperbolising over Frederik's possible motivations for wearing a particular item of clothing...Get a grip on yourself Xeara, it is only a jacket!!! :)

Awww, I have much love for that suit. I like people to have some personality, not be afraid to wear something a little goofy.

I have always cringed a bit when thinking about Fred's wardrobe..Suits and jackets always seem to be too big...at least unfitted.
But now...looking at that violet jacket i think he's cute. He's a bit goofy and that is incredibly endearing methinks.
Bless him...

I see the same too.
His jackts are often seem to big and his pants seem too long. The Crown Prince needs a new wardrobe. Is he care how he look?

When CPFrederik prepares a bundle of discards; I hope he includes that plaid wool overcoat. He's worn it for years, ugh; latest was at Tivoli in December.
