Wasn't it Jeeves in Jeeves and Wooster, who almost fainted at the sight of elephants on a gentleman's tie?

:previous: But I have a perfectly rational, albeit depressing, explanation for these... eeh... novelty ties.

It's indeed the wives.
As all husbands know, wives will remember any slight even decades later - while plotting their revenge.
So they persuade their husbands to wear outrageous outfits in public. Then they get together: "Look what I made mine wear. Top that"! :D
And the poor husbands are completely oblivious to this sport of payback that goes on. :sad:

Here is an instructional video explaining what gentlemen should not wear:

My dear Polyesco. They are not red. They are sunset-colored. :cool:

Well, men's fashion choices were all over the place for Monaco's National Day. Next year, maybe a memo to the gents about expectations. Not that they did not look great - just fragmented.
 
I think it's about time we had a look at Prince Daniel. A man who both Victoria and the Swedes are indeed fortunate to have.

Here we have Daniel in full gala suit: http://stoppapressarna.se/sites/default/files/prinsdaniel/prinsdaniel_middag2.jpg

Daniel at formal events: http://i0.wp.com/royalcentral.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/OFFICIAL-PHOTO-OF-PRINCE-DANIEL.jpg

Daniel to wedding and similar festive, yet formal events: https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/f5/fa/ac/f5faacb9e90b6784996d67351d460801.jpg

Daniel on the job, out and about in Sweden: https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/2b/22/de/2b22de4f2288015cc7b502c0e96158f0.jpg

Daniel at official events at court: http://thun.se/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/Anders-Ka%C3%8C%CB%86llson.jpg

But also on visits abroad is he correctly attired: http://portal.andina.com.pe/EDPfotografia/Thumbnail/2015/10/19/000320406W.jpg

So it's refreshing to see him dressed casually: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/7/70/Prince_Daniel.jpg

Here he has been caught in front of what appears to be the TV on a Sunday afternoon: http://img2-1.timeinc.net/people/i/2015/news/150914/princess-victoria-1024.jpg

And here is a treat for the ladies, Daniel in beach wear: http://stoppapressarna.se/sites/default/files/prinsdaniel/prinsdaniel_smoking1.jpg

But it does happen that he lets his inner hippie come out and really go berserk, dress-wise: http://cdn.posh24.com/images/:enlar...ark.jpg/daniel_westling_och_prins_carl_philip
- Yes, I had to look twice too! But it really is Daniel. Why, all he needs is a guitar on his back and he could be at Woodstock.

For comparison, here is PH :king3: in a vest: http://www.jv.dk/modules/xphoto/cache/47/352447_1280_12800_0_211_3495_2184.jpg

My point, should it be necessary to point it out, is that Daniel is a top contender to the prize of The Most Predictably Dressed Royal Man of the Year,

Thank you for your wonderful images Muhler!:flowers:
The link that I bolded is showing a wrong image though: Daniel is not in his beach attire...:lol:
 
Wonderful your job Muhler. I agree that the dressing of Daniel is predictable and a little boring for me. And as noted by Marty where is the treat for women Muhler? :lol:
 
:ermm: But dear ladies, that is Daniel's beach attire. :sun:
 
:previous: Oh thanks for the clarification :lol::lol::lol::lol::lol:

Always a joy to see Henrik :lol:
And yes predictable is one word I would use for Daniel.

I agree. Boring style. predictable, properly dressed but boring. For outside events and especially with kids he should lose the ties and suits, something more casual but formal

sadly his beach attire almost did come with a tie ;)

Now this beach attire is more like it.
Frederik in a lovely flower shirt while on vacation, note the nice hat

the man does have a shark tattoo from his time in the Danish Special forces so of course he would wear shark shorts ;)

and of course one must protect themselves from the sun from time to time :cool::cool:

and of course, falling in love with someone from Australia, one must proudly wear Kangaroo shorts (thanks Muhler):flowers:

:previous: Can't see two of your files, Polyesco. Got a 403. :ermm:

But you are right, one can't accuse Frederik of being predictable.

But what bet did he lose in order to wear that blue beach-niqab?!? :eek:
And how is Mary able to stand upright from laughter?
 
:previous:
Here are the two images. Frederik in striped beach shorts

and here in a lovely flowered shirt, perfect for vacation

Here is a better view of the shirt, works well for a summer night out with the wife ;);)

and keeping in the summer vacation theme, here he is in a lovely colored purple shirt

:previous: And they've got "water in the basement" at V&D's place. - Idiom, about trouser legs that are too short.
 
Well Muhler, much as I admire Daniel's sterling qualities and believe that Sweden lucked out when the King was finally persuaded that Victoria knew both her man and her mind, once the Palace Machine got hold of him he looks so trussed up he can't even breath.

The Crownprincess family interaction photos are wonderful and it doesn't matter what he's wearing because the three of them always seem to be smiling or laughing, but would it be so very bad to let him lose the Brylcream? Wear casual clothes, even jeans, when they are in casual settings.

I always feel like he gets his rating weekly from the palace. Pass, or could do better. Please, oh please, do worse . . . toss the Brylcream!

Now the Danes, well what can we say, they are a family of true eccentrics. Queen Margrethe is unlike any other Queen and Prince Henri is absolutely, without a doubt, the most eccentric of Royal Consorts . . . or any other man in Denmark for that matter. Is it any wonder that both Frederik and Joachim are, umm, just a little eccentric . . .

:previous: Well, in Daniel's defense I'd like to point out that he can't help it.
He is Swedish and therefore boring. It's genetic.
Permit me to illustrate with this sample of current Swedish fashion for men: https://app.box.com/s/0vhkv9bjqewbv7e53mqwr2byrx2e2rwu

Swedish men have over the centuries developed a trait whereupon they have evolved into being not only boring, but mind numbingly boring.
Swedish women are less boring to look at. Unless they say something, then they become mind numbingly boring as well.
It's not merely a claim of mine, it's a scientific fact. :graduate:

- Have I ever told you that Swedes and Danes have an ongoing feud that has so far lasted some 800 years? :p

But perhaps one day Daniel will allow his inner hippie to come out and just let go and freak out.
Here we have a Swedish man, who has shocked Sweden with his eccentric attire: http://modesektionen.dk/image/box/293675/1120/5000

Oh, dear!

Them's fighting words, Muhler!

You see...while I love the eccentricities of your Royal Family, which, now, of course, has been enriched enormously by the inclusion of one of us :D, I nevertheless feel compelled to say a few words in favour of the Swedes in defence of your allegation of boringness. Well, maybe only two words: Alexander Skarsgard. http://healthyceleb.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/Alexander-Skarsgard.jpg

That Prince Henrik is a special man, allez... but what is so "eccentric" about Prince Joachim and Prince Frederik?

I was wondering about that too. Ok, Joachim has shown some promising eccentric outfits but Crown Prince Frederik?? ;)
 
:previous: Crown Prince Frederik....I've heard tell about red and even purple pants. ;) The evidence is even on this thread.

You've just got to love Fred's preference for lavender shirts.

With the occasional pink one thrown in.

Zee red pants . . .

And this waistcoat? Well, the apple didn't fall too far from the tree! :D

Lavender and pinkish shirt "eccentric" ? Or the famous red pants?
Sorry, but you haven't proved anything...;)

I bet the colourful vest is a present from Prince Henrik and Frederik feels he has to wear it once every 10 years...

He looks great in purple, pink and red.......and any man that can step out side the box and wear all colors is one heck of a man, gotta love a man that can do that. The vest, it is cute, old world type of fabric, would make great pillows with fringe. Think he would donate it so that I can get some pillows made:whistling::whistling::)
