A peek into the ducal wardrobe.
While Duchess Sophie and her husband, Prince Edward, used to remain in the background, they have become increasingly prominent in recent years. And what stands out about this? Sophie deserves a compliment for her timeless sense of style!
Working royals
A considerably thinned-out monarchy, that was how King Charles wanted to arrange his affairs. He probably wouldn’t have seen it turn out the way it has now, with his brother under ban, one son abroad, his other daughter-in-law in jail, and his own health also failing. let us know. Fortunately, there are Edward and Sophie, who have proven time and time again in recent years that the Windsors can always count on them.
Beige Duchess
As senior royals, the Edinburghs regularly show up for all kinds of royal duties. And time and time again (time and time again), the Duchess manages to put on gorgeous outfits, where we see one color come back time and time again (time and time, time and time again): beige!
From off-white to soft ecru and from classic camel to neat khaki: Sophie has the entire spectrum of beige shades in her wardrobe.
This week we saw her at a Commonwealth Day service at Westminster Abbey, where she emerged in a long robe manteau from the Suzannah label.
And of course you can’t go wrong with a camel-colored coat. Sophie also knows this, who has beige coats in all shapes and sizes in her wardrobe.
From a business blazer, like this Max Mara example…
…A practical outdoor jacket that can withstand the British weather…
…Or a soft woolen cashmere coat from Joseph Lima, which she combined with a knitted turtleneck dress from Reiss Fallon.
Tone-in-ton with a knitted dress? Of course we’ve seen that before! Sometimes we secretly suspect that Sophie secretly takes her style inspiration from Princess Kate. And hey, it looks fantastic on both ladies, so why not?
For every occasion
Since as a royal you have to be able to appear at the most diverse events, Sophie has an equally diverse selection of beige garments, which she can combine cleverly to give a cool, elegant or casual edge.
For example, Sophie wore this Victoria Beckham blouse with camouflage print for a charity round at the beginning of this year. Then she combined the top with a green suit and brown boots – and later in the day: a stylish kitchen apron.
But for International Women’s Day in 2019, the then Countess of Wessex wore the blouse with a matching skirt for a reception at Buckingham Palace. Add a set of stylish pumps and you give your business blouse an elegant twist!
Cashmere toppers
Soof has also collected a beautiful collection of light cashmere tops, which she regularly wears with classic trousers or a business blazer.
At the beginning of this year, the duchess showed herself twice in the cashmere top below from the Frame label with camel-colored stripes. The ivory turtleneck she is wearing in the second photo comes from the brand N.Peal, and according to the label it is made of ‘100% Mongolian organic cashmere’. That Sophie has an eye for quality, that much is clear!
And finally: even when Sophie proves to be a real daredevil during a military climbing exercise, she is dressed in her favorite fashion color.
Sense of style
Moreover, Sophie’s clothing choices have a special edge: she does it all herself! For example, she revealed in an interview with the Sunday Express in 2015: “I try to do what I can with what I have. I know what I like and don’t like. But I never had a stylist.” Wow!
