    Love Catherine Princess of Wales❤ One thing I'd like to add, even if she obviously does not have budget constraints she often rewears her clothes, she just adds different accessories. She also mixes high street and designer pieces. She' so classy she makes even Zara look expensive.

    HRH Catherine Princess of Wales is such a beautiful lady who is conscious about practicality as she has been spotted wearing her garments more than once for different occasions mixing and matching designer and high street brands like Zara and M&S with such elegance and grace. It goes to show that stylish outfits can be created following the principles of French Chic and sensible guidelines for turning fast fashion into slow timeless classic style as mentioned frequently in your videos. That's why I love your channel because of your wisdom and expertise. Merci 🤍⚘

    Recently, I purchased a poppy red color linen dress. At first, I was not sure if it would suit me since I have never worn such a bright color in my life. However, whenever I wear it, I get so many compliments. I have the olive color skin and maybe the poppy red color is suitable for the complexion? Anyway, now I have more confidence in wearing this bright color dress. Thank you, Marie- Ann, for sharing the video!

Queen Camilla is beautiful in her own way, and certainly can be a role model for those with that same body type. As for me, I'm going for the Princess of Wales look of timeless elegance, which transcends age.👍

    Thank you Marie-Anne! Princess Catherine is an inspiration, as are you. She follows your style principles, maybe she learned all this from YOU!!!
    One thing I would add: her deportment is excellent, as is her figure. She holds herself supremely well. And she is always aware of - and cares for - others (more than wanting others to pay homage to her) . So her style is elegant and not showy.
    Thank you for posting such a great video! Impeccable!

    Bonjour, Marie-Anne. Love the fact that you always emphasise that principles and guidelines of French Chic are always applicable for ALL women of different bodyshapes, sizes, ages and social status. By doing a quick research I've found out that Princess Catherine wears a wide array of affordable High Street fashion brands besides designer and her top favourites are:
    Zara.
    Reiss.
    Hobbs.
    Boden.
    Jigsaw.
    & Other Stories.
    Topshop.
    Mango.
    Accessorize.
    Monsoon.
    M&S.
    Asos.
    H&M.
    John Lewis.
    Gap.
    Barbour.
    Whistles.
    Massimo Dutti.
    It shows that we don't have to be royalty/wealthy, young, tall and slim spending a huge fortune to be chic and elegant since stylish outfits are guaranteed when following your advice. Merci for PDF included 🙏🏻⚘

    • @MarieAnneLecoeur
      @MarieAnneLecoeur  Рік тому +4

      The principles of style must apply to everyone or they apply to no-one AW 🙏 It always makes me sad when I see comments that say the commentator can't be stylish because they aren't as young or slim as any model shown. One just needs the information to adjust what one sees for your ownself and you can improve your style and outlook - and that is what I try to do 😃 Thank you for the additional research 😘

    What I think would be fun to know is how she would dress if she could wear anything she wanted. I wonder if she has a fantasy self and has a Pinterest board with all of the outfits she wishes she could wear, but because of her position in life, cannot wear.

    Wonderful! I also love Catherine's style, although my body shape is quite different. I see her as an inverted triangle, do you agree? She is very thin and has a well defined waist, yet very narrow hips. I find it noteworthy that lately she has been wearing quite exaggerated shoulder lines, rather than rounding out the hipline. She always looks exceptionally good, though. Personally, I think a bit part of this is her incredibly warm and caring essence, which permeates everything she does. What a winner. Thank you for this thoughtful video, dear Marie-Anne.

    I believe that most of us in the UK like Katherine so it's nice to hear all the nice comments. However, in my opinion, the royal protocol doesn't leave a lot of room for the individuality. But it could be her inherent style - who knows?

    Thank you for doing a segment on Princess Catherine.

    a full fledged

      The Princess Royal is not actually known for her fashion sense (and I mean this in the kindest possible way!); but she dresses sensibly and appropriate for the situation. 👍 And when it counts, she shakes off the straw and hay from the horse barn and shows us what "royal princess" looks like. 😉😊👍 AND (very much like the French women who don't get fat 😉😄) she has kept her trim figure for the last 50 years or so! 😳👍 (briefly interrupted by having two children)

    I love that the Princess mixes in less expensive, high-street, items with her mostly designer wardrobe. I was glad to see her wearing “my outfit”, the Sezane ecru Naelle skirt and matching sweater (I forget the name of this piece). I already had this one, and the same set in brown, love them. I’m a big fan of Sezane style and it’s affordable, too. The Princess also does what I value in my wardrobe: using restraint, or as our dear MA says, simplicity, an essential ingredient of elegance, along with high quality and perfect fit. Finally, a more elegant style is valued again, after nearly 25 years of “More is More”, piling on the logos, etc. I want her beautiful Alexander McQueen white trouser suit! I’ve been looking for a true white, not ivory or ecru, suit in top-quality, natural-fiber fabric for years! It’s probably over my, quite large actually, wardrobe budget.

    Kate Middleton has impeccable taste with a definite British flair. Although, personally I prefer Meghan Markle's style because it's more reminiscent of the French style. It's less sugary feminine than KM's and it looks more empowering... I love the clean lines, monochrome, tailoring, architectural details and her not being afraid to wear black.

  • @Dingle1234

    I see how she wears 2-pce knit suits. I've always loved sweater dresses but they seem to mostly suit a perfect physique because of the way the cling. With the ribbed hem of the top and the slight blousing above it, I see her suits are far more flattering. It also looks like when she finds the perfect coat or pants, she orders multiples in several colours.

    Since 2016 who would you say has been her greatest style inspiration. Her "style" has noticeably, and suddenly gone from coat dresses and prim frocks (absolutely NO pant suits) to something quite a bit outside of her wheelhouse and making it difficult to see the thread of progression. Prior to this off course she looked to HMTQ, P Diana, but also CP now Q Mary, Q Letizia amongst others. A penny (?) for your thoughts.
