Someone Noticed The Coolest Thing About The Way The Queen Matches Her Outfits, And We Can’t Unsee It

ADVERTISEMENT

Being the Queen of the United Kingdom, based in a city like London, Queen Elizabeth quite naturally has to deal with rain. A lot of rain. Therefore it’s not unusual to see her out and about on official duties, braving the drizzle under an umbrella with her gracious nature and a smile.

But have you ever noticed that her umbrella and outfits almost always match? Since 1993, the Queen has used her preferred style of umbrella, the classic birdcage design made by Fulton. Naturally, being who she is, Queen Elizabeth gets hers custom made in a variety of shades, so they blend in perfectly with her vast array of outfits and hats.

It’s the piece of fashion inspiration we never knew we needed, especially with winter approaching! Scroll down below to check out old Queenie’s rockin’ rain style for yourself, and let us know what you think in the comments!

    did you know the Queen has weights sewn into the bottom of her outfits so a stray gust of wind wont embarass her (Kate took note). They also dont press right to the hems in order that outfits and hemlines can be altered when needed

    I think it is kind of sweet - her holding her own umbrella with a grip of steel - rather than allow some fawning Courtier to follow 2 steps behind trying to shelter her - you really need to hold your own umbrella to get maximum shelter

    I love that she wears bright colors. It was reported that Countess of Wessex explained her mother-in-law's penchant for rainbow shades. "She needs to stand out for people to be able to say 'I saw the Queen." Makes sense, as when she does make an appearance, the crowd is always at least 8-10 people/rows deep!

    I love her shoes! I am 77 and wish I could find some like that, within an affordable price range. Block heels for balance, wide toes for comfort, two inch or less heel height. And the design itself makes a very stylish shoe our of a sensible one.

    This has always been a thing! she has them specially made with every outfit she has put together for her. One thing to note which i have always loved, unless she is having to work with both hands (putting down wreaths etc) she will always carry her own brolly and not have someone follow her round with one.

    I count... 12 different colours of umbrellas? She's the Queen, it's not that crazy. (Light Green, Bright Pink, Yellow, Dark Blue, Light Blue, Red, White, Maroon, Light Pink, Light Blue-Green, Black, Purple) She probably has more though.

    All of her hats are kept in place with a hat pin that is covered with the same material as the hat so that you don't see it, and so she never has to worry that her hat is going to blow off. She wears the same medium pink lipstick, the same earrings (tiny diamond with slightly dropped pearl), three strand pearl necklace, same short gloves in black or white for summer, all of her dresses and coats are just below the knee and slightly flared for comfort and no concern that something is too tight or revealing (no decollete ever), same style of purse in black, black patent, or white for summer, same nude hose, and same style of shoe like her purses in black, black patent, or white for summer with about a two inch heel. She wears brightly colored outfits so that people can see her (she isn't that tall!). This is her out and about "uniform"; she has much fancier stuff for formal evenings; tiaras, long gloves, and the Crown Jewels of England!

    She uses the clear bubble umbrella so that she can be seen by the people she is visiting. Her ladies-in-waiting select and coordinate her outfits for her. She does wear outfits more than once, but they will change details, like the hat ornaments and collars so that she is never exactly the same twice. And she has many beautiful brooches (all with real gemstones, of course).

    if given a chance, i would like to see her in person, see how she carries these clothes so queenly (pardon the pun) and the way she smiles like there's nothing wrong with her world! and she's quite a looker even at her age. my mom is also in her 90's, 95 exactly, and she has not looked any far from her looks when she was younger. some people get lucky maintaining their good looks through the years, and the queen is one of them!

    The umbrellas are something I've always loved about Her Royal Majesty. I have several myself, but, of course, mine don't match nearly as perfect as Her Royal Majesty's. I match watches, belts, purses and shoes as well as the occasional scarf or hat.

    God Save the Queen - Long to rain over us. Seriously though it's nice to see her using that style of umbrella - a posh copy of the cheap ones originating from the 60's and 70's rather than style filtering downwards. All so nobody misses seeing her face despite the weather. Bless you Your Majesty.

    Yes I remember the clear "bubble" umbrellas being popular when I was a kid in the 1970's. Heard the Queen uses these umbrellas so her subjects can still see her when she's out and about in the rain.

    Easy to match outfits when your family has raised the world, taken its resources, and you get to live off the hard work of others while doing no work yourself. Next up we'll have an article about how nicely combed Stalins moustache was.

    I think it is kind of sweet - her holding her own umbrella with a grip of steel - rather than allow some fawning Courtier to follow 2 steps behind trying to shelter her - you really need to hold your own umbrella to get maximum shelter

    It would be a bit awkward anyway, because the Queen is so petite.

    That lady is tough as nails. She'd be comfortable in -20C weather in a skirt. And I know that for a fact, since that was what she wore during a trip to Ottawa in the middle of winter years ago.

    I love that she wears bright colors. It was reported that Countess of Wessex explained her mother-in-law's penchant for rainbow shades. "She needs to stand out for people to be able to say 'I saw the Queen." Makes sense, as when she does make an appearance, the crowd is always at least 8-10 people/rows deep!

    This has always been a thing! she has them specially made with every outfit she has put together for her. One thing to note which i have always loved, unless she is having to work with both hands (putting down wreaths etc) she will always carry her own brolly and not have someone follow her round with one.

    I count... 12 different colours of umbrellas? She's the Queen, it's not that crazy. (Light Green, Bright Pink, Yellow, Dark Blue, Light Blue, Red, White, Maroon, Light Pink, Light Blue-Green, Black, Purple) She probably has more though.

    All of her hats are kept in place with a hat pin that is covered with the same material as the hat so that you don't see it, and so she never has to worry that her hat is going to blow off. She wears the same medium pink lipstick, the same earrings (tiny diamond with slightly dropped pearl), three strand pearl necklace, same short gloves in black or white for summer, all of her dresses and coats are just below the knee and slightly flared for comfort and no concern that something is too tight or revealing (no decollete ever), same style of purse in black, black patent, or white for summer, same nude hose, and same style of shoe like her purses in black, black patent, or white for summer with about a two inch heel. She wears brightly colored outfits so that people can see her (she isn't that tall!). This is her out and about "uniform"; she has much fancier stuff for formal evenings; tiaras, long gloves, and the Crown Jewels of England!

    She uses the clear bubble umbrella so that she can be seen by the people she is visiting. Her ladies-in-waiting select and coordinate her outfits for her. She does wear outfits more than once, but they will change details, like the hat ornaments and collars so that she is never exactly the same twice. And she has many beautiful brooches (all with real gemstones, of course).

    The umbrellas are something I've always loved about Her Royal Majesty. I have several myself, but, of course, mine don't match nearly as perfect as Her Royal Majesty's. I match watches, belts, purses and shoes as well as the occasional scarf or hat.

    God Save the Queen - Long to rain over us. Seriously though it's nice to see her using that style of umbrella - a posh copy of the cheap ones originating from the 60's and 70's rather than style filtering downwards. All so nobody misses seeing her face despite the weather. Bless you Your Majesty.

    Yes I remember the clear "bubble" umbrellas being popular when I was a kid in the 1970's. Heard the Queen uses these umbrellas so her subjects can still see her when she's out and about in the rain.
