Are Royals Allowed to Wear Jeans? - The Cheat Sheet

Posted: 18 May 2019 08:18 AM PDT

Being members of the royal family might make it seem like Kate Middleton, Meghan Markle, and others can do whatever they want — but that couldn't be farther from the truth. Queen Elizabeth has rules and, as representatives of the monarchy, her family members must abide by said rules. That's especially true when it comes to fashion. Are royals allowed to wear jeans? Find out, ahead.

Royal fashion rules

Like everything else in the royal family, certain protocol must be met when attending engagements, traveling on royal tours, and acting in any official capacity. One way Queen Elizabeth ensures that she and the monarchy are always represented appropriately is to ensure a royal dress code that all members of the family must follow when in the public eye.

Although some royals — cough, Meghan Markle, cough — don't always follow the guidelines to a T, the general notion is that members of the royal family dress "smart." What does that mean? We take a closer look at the royal fashion rules, below.

First things first: Are royals allowed to wear jeans? It might surprise you but, yes, jeans are okay. That said, they should fall in line with the queen's "smart" protocol which is why Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle usually opt for a preppy style or business casual style.

Although it wasn't exactly an official outing, Meghan Markle shocked fans and royal experts when she wore a pair of ripped jeans to the Invictus Games when she and Prince Harry were girlfriend and boyfriend. We will probably never see the Duchess of Sussex wear ripped jeans again — unless she is "off duty" — as they do not follow proper protocol.

Royal men, such as Prince Harry and Prince William have sported jeans a handful of times. Jeans are typically okay when attending more casual engagements such as sporting events or anything where royals might get their hands dirty, such as the time Prince William and Kate Middleton explored Newborough Beach's wildlife habitats with Menai Bridge Scouts (pictured above).

Are royals allowed to wear sleeveless tops?

Another royal fashion rule members of the monarchy must always follow? Modesty. Cleavage and off-the-shoulder looks are typically a no-no. However, Meghan Markle has worn several modest modest-styled off-the-should ensembles.

As for sleeveless tops, we often see royal women in sleeveless dresses and tops during the warmer months of the year. However, if they wear a jacket or blazer on top, they are not allowed to remove it. Taking off an outer layer is viewed as "undressing" and, therefore, inappropriate.

Are royals allowed to wear black?

Judging by Queen Elizabeth's colorful personal style, you might assume that royals are not allowed to wear black. But while they mostly choose navy and other darker hues over the color, they are also allowed to wear black. Meghan Markle's style has helped popularize the color with her chic style, wearing it to formal events as well as royal engagements.

In addition to everyday outfits, Queen Elizabeth requires all royals to travel with an all-black outfit in the event of a sudden death.

Jennifer Lawrence Made Low-Rise Jeans Look Stylish - WHOWHATWEAR

Posted: 16 May 2019 04:29 PM PDT

Years and years from now, when people reflect on Jennifer Lawrence's style in her 20s, the takeaway is probably going to be that she was a denim style icon. In other words, she wears jeans a lot. And she's not just in skinny jeans all the time. Lawrence isn't one to shy away from different trends and styles (like these chic straight-leg jeans).

Speaking of which, this week, while walking around NYC, Lawrence wore an outfit that was far from her fancy engagement-party look the previous weekend, and it involves low-rise jeans. The style has certainly had its fair share of controversy, but she found a very wearable type of low-rise jeans and a very stylish way to wear them.

The beauty of low-rise jeans is that they can actually be quite comfortable, as long as they're not tight, skinny low-rise jeans. Lawrence's slouchy and loose pair looks to be just that, and she rolled them at the ankles to add to the casual, effortless feel. With the addition of a black T-shirt, her favorite Dior sneakers, and some chic accessories, the actress actually made low-rise jeans look cool. Anything's possible, folks. Keep scrolling to see how she did it, and shop similar slouchy low-rise jeans.

In my opinion, there's no such thing as owning too many jeans. Jeans are the equalizer of outfits. They can be dressed up or dressed down and there are so many different cuts and styles that they can be worn at practically any occasion. There are so many to choose from, but we've narrowed it down to a handful that can satisfy any experience you throw at them.

Product recommendations that'll make your life better and tips to help you shop smarter.

The Ridge Mom Jean, $118 from Mott & Bow: These jeans fit me perfectly. This is not something I take lightly. I am short and have large legs and that means most jeans fit great in the thighs but gap at the waist. These have enough spandex in them that make them comfortably hug my curves without veering into jegging territory.

Cali Demi-Boot Jeans, $128 from Madewell: The only time I've ever been happy with a pair of petite jeans has been these from Madewell. These are sturdy with a bit of stretch and come in so many different wash options that there's easily something for anyone. Madewell's expanded denim program features Petite, Regular, and Tall inseams and goes up to a 37 in the waist.

The Cheeky Straight Jean, $68 from Everlane: Everlane does basics right, and their denim is no different. These are my perfect throw-on-and-go jeans that have a super high waist and a flattering wash. They cuff easily and are stiff enough that they won't stretch out by day's end.

AG The Legging Skinny Jeans, $225 from Nordstrom: These are classic skinny jeans with a raw hem to keep it a bit more casual and 2019. And even though they have "legging" in the name, they only have 2% spandex, which means you're still getting sturdy denim that won't give out after a couple of wears.

Loup Simone Jeans, $165 from Of A Kind: If you're in need of a wide-leg silhouette, these are the jeans to consider. They're lightweight and sturdy but not stiff. They're designed to hit right above your ankle, a flattering length on anyone, and their front patch pockets are both functional and fashionable.

PAIGE Transcend Verdugo Ankle Skinny Jeans, $179 from Nordstrom: These highly-rated dark wash skinny jeans will be a reliable, comfortable staple in your wardrobe. Made from PAIGE's performance-fiber technology, they'll stay comfortable all day without stretching out.
