Whatever was she thinking ??

Anyone see the awful outfit that Camilla was wearing yesterday? A bright blue very wide-legged jumpsuit. She isn't the right shape, height, age for it. Who advised her to wear it for goodness sake? Not at all flattering.

I tried to post a photo of it but it hasn't worked. Sorry.

If wide leg trousers are strip hazards on stairs, I might just get myself a pair! wink

I think wide leg trousers are strip hazard on stairs. I sometimes get a bit tangled up in my pyjamas and they’re not all that wide.

Of course she can wear what she likes, and I'm sure my opinion has absolutely no effect.... but that's exactly what it is, an opinion.

We are all allowed to like/not like something without having to run it past you first Freya.

How judgemental of you. We are always asked to support other women, she can wear what she likes surely, wish I had the courage to wear it.

I like everything about your photo, Merlot! The setting, your trousers, your top, the hat, the (merlot!) shoes and the bench, even though I’m not keen on blue.

As to the queen, it wouldn’t be my choice, because I just know I’d trip over those long baggy legs but if she’s comfy, good on her.

I saw the photo of Camilla and thought she looked awful. However I don’t suppose she cares what I think, so I guess it’s up to her.

By the way, it’s too long and might have looked better not sweeping the floor, but I’ve noticed a few celebrities wearing trousers that are wide and flappy, and miles too long. It’s a horrible look in my opinion.

Her body, her choice of clothes.

Cool, airy and practical for the occasion. Any takers for posting a photo of what you're wearing in this heat so that we can all critique it? No? Thought not.

Happy to oblige - if only to shoot your rather rude comment down in flames!

I would normally be wearing sandals in this heat but we were visiting a lovely garden so lots of walking.

Nice colour,bit long and wide,maybe she has Tenna pants Lucky

nanna8 Mon 12-Jun-23 14:01:04

Looks ok to me. Maybe a bit hot but I don’t know what your Summer weather is.

Germanshepherdsmum Mon 12-Jun-23 13:59:47

Ghastly.

LadyGracie Mon 12-Jun-23 13:56:04

It looked a bit like DH’s overalls I wear for painting.

Mollygo Mon 12-Jun-23 13:48:16

Did she feel comfortable in it?
Was she happy with her appearance?
I’d like to see some feedback on your post CheersMeDears
I’m currently wearing
a white top with Punto Tagliato around the neckline and black loose trousers with a multicoloured leaf pattern and red trainers that match the red on the leaf pattern.
I like it, DH likes it and I had several compliments from the people we met up with.
I wouldn’t like to post a picture on here.

DanniRae Mon 12-Jun-23 13:42:08

I like the colour and it looks good from the waist up ... but it does not look good from the waist down!

M0nica Mon 12-Jun-23 13:31:37

I liked it! Admittedly, blue isn't my colour. but I could see myself in a shocking pink version - and I am several years older than the Queen.

Calendargirl Mon 12-Jun-23 13:09:41

I liked the colour and the top half, but also thought the very wide legs were too wide. At first glance it looked like she was wearing a pair of my DH’s ‘Dickie’s’ overalls.

As mentioned by someone, the photo of her in full stride was not the best way to judge them though.

I don’t think a wide legged jumpsuit is flattering on anyone other than a very slim and tall young woman.

I agree. This was the wrong material too
Very heavy looking at the bottom.

Kate1949 Mon 12-Jun-23 12:41:24

True. She should wear what she wants to wear. I'm a year younger than Camilla and have two jumpsuits, both wide leg but not THAT wide. She looks like she's going to do a spot of plumbing. I showed my DH and he said that it put him in mond of that Billy Connolly sketch where he wore incontinence trousers that kept getting wider and wider.

i think she looks like a decorator... but good for her if she likes it at least it doesn't look like the traditional conventional stuff most Royals wear..

crazyH Mon 12-Jun-23 12:32:59

The jumpsuit has certainly caught the eyes of the 4 onlookers on the right 😂

She must be blessedly free of middle-aged bladder problems - I would struggle to get out of that in time when the call came!! smile

Same here Luckygirl3 an accident waiting to happen.

I generally admire Camilla's wardrobe but on this occasion I think there was a malfunction. Trousers too long and wide in my opinion. I do like jumpsuits though even if not for me.
