On Monday, she sparked a fashion debate among royal style enthusiasts when she debuted a distinctive textured cardigan on the first day of her Danish Summer Tour.
The nautical-inspired tweed cardigan, identified as a Weill Paris piece by the royal style account @royalfashionpolice on Instagram, featured a Breton stripe pattern, double-breasted gold buttons, and sleeveless design, reaching down to her ankles. Queen Mary paired this unique outerwear with an elegant cotton-voile blouse and high-waisted navy trousers, completing the look with pointed-toe heels and a bow-adorned hat from Jane Taylor Millinery.
As photos of the Danish royal surfaced, opinions on her fashion choice were mixed. One Instagram user commented, “The vest is too long and shapeless. Individually, the pieces are fine, but together they look disorganized. It’s a rare misstep for her!” Another agreed, saying, “I usually love her outfits, but this one isn’t my favorite.”
Conversely, a supporter defended her style, writing, “Mary’s duster look is very chic. The long vest is back in style, and she has styled it well. I might have chosen one of her fedora hats, but she exudes style no matter what!” Another fan noted, “I love this outfit, though I’m not completely sure about the hat. Typically, Mary’s style is impeccable.”
Since Queen Mary began her reign alongside her husband following Queen Margrethe’s surprising abdication during her New Year’s Eve address, the Danish royal fashion has undergone a notable transformation.
Mary has introduced a high level of elegance to her wardrobe, characterized by bold and vibrant dresses, flawless tailoring, and glamorous gowns, adding sophistication to her royal image. We’re definitely fans!
