I think they are dressed wonderfully....
I absolutely adore how George and Charlotte are dressed. Mi think the shots and long socks look very cute and proper on George. The only thing I don't like is the fact that the shorts are red. Mother stick out a bit. Beige would have been nicer, in my opinion. Charlotte looks so awfully cute in her dress. I always love seeing your no children dress like young children instead of mini-adults.

I wonder if they did red, in honor of Canada and in order for him to stick out and be easily visible if he got to running around and slipped away.

Excellent point. I didn't even think of it that way. Makes sense though.

I like Charlotte's dress but George ... I start feeling sorry for the kid with his long socks and strange shoes for his age, always in a blues sweater with grandpa shirt underneath.
I think that is how boys school uniforms look for the boys until they are 11 or something. I think the shorts+socks is a rather common way to dress little boys in the UK, especially in the upper classes.I agree, I can't see why George is always dressed in shorts and knee socks.
Especially since it was a bit chilly in Canada; why put the child in shorts and then have him wear a sweater?
Tradition is all very well, but it comes to a point where it is just silly!

George has worn long pants before at public outings. This was an official event.

Exactly! And I think this is a bit similar to how their friends dress their kids. Not when they are going to the petting zoo. But when you are having a birthday party, or taking pictures, celebrations and when you "dress up". When a man would wear a suit, this is a normal formal way of dress for upperclass british children (and not only upper class I assume). When George is taking his pictures, on the balcony or like here when he was at a formal-ish childrens party (most women in dresses etc), his version of formal dress is precisely alright. Just like the queen has a scarf when hanging around the horses but a hat and coat on the balcony, George has his jeans at the petting zoo, and his shorts and socks on the balcony.Yup, George’s whole look is basically a replica of what he’ll be wearing every day for the next 7-8 years of his schooling. Sun, rain, snow he’ll be in those shorts and knee socks.

I think it’s good that they’ve been teaching him that this is what he wears when ‘’working’’, be it royal work or school work. Sure saves on time deciding and fighting what is appropriate and what is not. It’s not like he can turn up on Buckingham palace balcony in a Batman t-shirt.
I have not, hence why I said "I think". But the people I know from britain says that is how upper class children are generally dressed. And from the little I've seen when my cousins lived in the UK for a while (including their school uniforms) it seems about right.Well I haven't seen any photos of their friends children so can't comment on how they dress their children I gather you have. I would love to see them. They were laughing on a panel show about George's long socks and how does he keep them up does he wear garters ?

Very well put. The women and little girls all wore dresses to this party, it was not a casual affair. Why ante people so intolerant of variation, especially in male clothing? I remember when it was shocking for a man to wear a pink shirt, in some places it still is.Exactly! And I think this is a bit similar to how their friends dress their kids.

People are so insensitive to how many kids dress on here, especially when that it the common style for school uniform at public school in the UK.
Someone link photos to various school uniform but it doesn't matter continued to mock and insult them just b/c it not the way one dress in my country, social circle.
I think it's shame they don't dress them like normal children and not something from the 1930 upperclass. At first it was cute now it's like they want them to dress better than the other children at the party. Would love to see them in normal outfits just long pants for George for a start and not blue
