In honor of the Diamond Jubilee across the pond this past weekend let’s show some love for the royal fashions worn by Queen Elizabeth II over the years, as well as the new fashionable royal, the Duchess of Cambridge.

Don’t they look great sitting side-by-side? Formal, chic, and well-put together.
Who knew a kerchief could be so regal? I love the Jackie O style coat with the great broach. Parfait!
Pretty pink pleats and a perfectly adorable bow-adorned hat.
Green florals are a great style for Spring, she looks fresh and fashionable, never stodgy.
Want to steal their style and channel these glamorous but demure and chic women?
Classic coats and matching hats are the order of the day.

What’s the first thing that I think of when I’m looking at these ladies? Amazing coats and dresses, and killer lady-like accessories.
London Fog toffee double breasted belted long trench – $150 @ Bluefly.com
Long Cotton Trench – $995 @ Burberry
ASOS Long Line Blazer in Cotton – $125 @ Asos.com
Why not try on a long coat, choose either calf-length or knee-length depending on your height and build. You want a silhouette that will lengthen your form, not truncate it.

* And yes, this title is stolen from A League of Their Own. 🙂 Shameless.

I fell in love with this shot the first time I saw it on
The Sartorialist. What can I say? I’m just a girl who believes in love at first sight. Sartorial soul mates and all that. 🙂
What’s so great about this outfit is the simplicity of it. Dress. Bag. Belt. No muss, no fuss.

The first piece of this puzzle is a basic shift dress. Whether you want to go for a solid colored dress, a subtle pattern or something more dramatic, the key for a shift dress is to find a style that is flattering on you. Long-sleeved, knee-length, sleeveless, mini, pockets… It’s all about the fit and cut.

A solid colored satchel bag is incredibly versatile and the top handle makes it a very east to hold onto bag, especially if you’re, say, a photographer and always busy with your hands.

A braided or simple belt doesn’t have to be expensive and in either black or brown is a great basic to keep in your closet. I love this bow belt from GAP but you want to make sure that a style like this is worn with a very basic shift dress to avoid over doing it on the cute-factor.
And if the browns & neutral tones of this color scheme don’t suit your coloring, just pick a more flattering color for pieces. Just try to keep them all to a similar color to keep the general idea behind this look in tact.
