Royal ladies look ravishing in daring leather looks

Fans of the leather look


JANUARY 18, 2021 11:54 AM EST

Royals have to follow protocol when dressing, which prevents them from wearing some of the latest street trends. However, in recent times we have seen how the wardrobes of royal women were modernized.  Letizia  is an example of this because she has not hesitated to include a material such as leather in her looks. But the Spanish queen has not been the only one, since  Meghan Markle , or  Carolina de Monaco  have also worn leather garments to top off their outfits.

Due to their position and status within their Royal Houses, the vast majority of royals are prohibited from some of the trends that triumph in the fashion industry; yes, there are others that have managed to adapt to their roles, as is the case of leather-effect garments. They continue to rise in the looks of fashion prescribers, the most daring to put any trend into practice, and Kate, Meghan and company have achieved the perfect formula to follow that fashionista trail and integrate them into their outfits without being strident.

Their secret is to choose a single leather garment and accompany it with other pieces made of lighter fabrics to subtract their powerful image, only then can they apply this trend to their looks like royalty. Do you want to see how they do it? These are the outfits that prove that they are also fans of the leather look.

Her relationship with these pieces is very consolidated. There are several garments, including skirts, jackets and pants, that Queen Letizia has made of leather and wears with pride very often.

The only garment that remained to be highlighted, after a display of skirts, dresses and jackets, is the leather-effect culottes, and here Máxima de Holanda is the absolute queen.

Ever Princess Diana was also fond of her voluminous bomber leather jacket. We must admit, that she pulled it off!

We cannot forget another great classic: the black leather effect leggings and have Princess Charlène as their ambassador. With her look, Alberto de Mónaco‘s wife managed to fuse elegance and rock style without losing her identity as a royal.

This is what Meghan Markle does - or rather, did - when she was a full-fledged royal, who now and without the imposition of a specific dress code, plays as she wants with fashion. Let‘s go back to the matter of leather garments, with a leather pencil skirt like Mary from Denmark. The military green with the leather we must admit looks fab.
