I'm not sure of the colour of this suit. It looks like a grey-green which is a favorite of mine. However, I find the blazer too big, boxy, long and shapeless. The pants are too short and voluminous. Together they overwhelm Letizia's slim frame. But the purse, shoes and camisole are lovely indeed.

Sorry but the brand "Bimba and Lola", actually Uxía and María Dominguez, Adolfo Dominguez's (the Spanish designer) nieces are from Galicia, not from Barcelona.
The brand is gallega, not catalana.

You're welcome!

Bimba and Lola are the name of their pets.

The Bimba Y Lola suit is a great find from the high street, the Queen looks youthful and stylish. Admittedly, the suit is stronger in some photographs more than others. When Letizia's hand is inside her trouser pocket the ensemble opens up, showcasing her svelte figure and balancing the larger proportions. I prefer this suit to the double-breasted pink and glen-check Hugo Boss suits we have seen. The reason being, the fabric is sturdy which allows the suit to maintain its structured silhouette, creating a clean and crisp look. The cropped trousers help harmonise the oversized jacket and the bright blue buttons add interest to the dark petrol colour. I adore the front sewn-in seams on the high waisted trousers, they sharpen the straight cut and lengthen the ensemble. The accessories are gorgeous, their glossy sheen and gold hard-wear enhance the otherwise minimalist outfit. My only quibble, the camisole. So often with Letizia's camisoles, the lace trim either sits too high on her chest or the lace is lacking in quality. To avoid these problems, I would prefer a buttery silk camisole without lace. In the future, the suit could be paired with a printed silk shirt, something playful like polka-dots (navy or black base - white dots) may soften the masculine lines.

Actually , Bimba y Lola are "semi luxury" items, it is not a cheap brand, their bags can cost 400 Euros and the "logo" is very famous in Spain.
Not everybody can afford something from Bimba y Lola.

Hi Simone, sorry I should have said high-end high street, their dresses are around £200. Over here, brands with a similar price point, such as Reiss and LK Bennett, are considered high-end high street. Not everyone can afford them.

Sorry to say that I don't like anything about this look. The jacket is too long and boxy, the pants are too full and too short. I find the colour somewhat drab and the colour of the buttons doesn't help. The lace on the camisole is all wrong with the severity of the jacket. The purse is very chunky and a slimmer look would have been better for a shoulder bag. The earring and the shoes are the only things I like. For me this is a real miss as outfits go.

This pantsuit has all the hallmarks for looking lovely, but somehow it falls short. The jacket is very inelegant and unshapely. I realise it is a masculine theme pantsuit. The size of the jacket seems to overwhelm the Queen. The pants seem a bit on the baggy side.
The jacket and pants are a gorgeous shade of green. I generally like the black camisole with the scallop lace trim, but with this pantsuit, not so much. The accessories are fabulous, particularly love the hand bag. Its always great to see the Dagger earrings. Regardless of my tastes the Queen looks lovely as usual.

Bimba y Lola are not "high street" items, they are considered a mark, this suit can cost at least 500 Euros and it is made in Spain, not in China or something.
Their bags are very famous in Spain and they cost as a Carolina Herrera one, about 400 Euros.
The same level as Adolfo Domínguez or Purificacion García, who are the same family. All of them are designers.

I have to come clean, I really don't like this suit, it's no credit to Bimba y Lola. It looks badly cut and the fabric -- too stiff and lumpy -- has no drape. The outsize jacket with cut-off pants is just out of sync and the look is finally demolished rather than complemented by the reappearance of that cheap lace camisole.

Neither the glam Nina Ricci gold chain shoulder bag nor black Prada pumps can save it. Those who wish the monarchy to be run on a shoe-string have cause to celebrate, their Queen advertises Spain as a country that can't afford royalty. Letizia has been wearing some drab repeats of late and this looks like the worst of the run so far.

Bertie, glad you agreed with my comment that this suit has no redeeming qualities and the camisole doesn't help the cause. You said it more eloquently than I did, but it is clear that neither of us like this suit.

Berti, Can you tell me a Monarchy where people dress very well, despite spending lots of money that belongs to the people and having lots of people out and about doing nothing.I do not know anyone.

I love this suit, it is something we wear in Spain, actually men wear "slim fit" suits and women masculine ones. I think it is not necessary to insult a Country, I could insult any other allowing people to dress as spinstes or grannies spending lots of the money of the people . Obviously people must be very rich to allow that nonsense. Also, Spaniards do not enter in their places to insult them. This is the last.

It is better a Queen that visits a school in a big horrendous hat and sorrounded by jewerly?

I assure you that in The Netherlands people criticises Queen Maxima. She spends lots of money in ridiculous clothes and her hair is always a mess.

Queen Letizia is almost always perfect, in her place and working non stop, what a modern Queen must do.

Victoria of Sweden always wear cheap Swedish high street brands with always the same hair style and she is very loved in Sweden and respected.

Mathilde of Belgium most of the time wears Natan, a Belgium designer, not very clever and their clothes do not fit her properly, one but it is from Belgium.

Mary of Denmark maybe is the best dressed but Danish people are to the back teeth of her spending a fortune in clothes, since almost a year she has been repeating non stop.

Elizabeth of Luxemburg do not think about clothes , she wears what she wants, however she is a lovery woman adored in Luxemburg.

Charlene of Monaco is a disaster and her suits are bespoke. And the poor Catherine, who is young and pretty in UK must dress as a old woman because the Head of State is 94 and sets the rules.

I think that the rol of a Monarchy has nothing to do with clothes or hairstyle.

And there was me thinking if I snuck this one little comment in late that no one would notice! Thank you very much everyone for taking the trouble to read my post and for commenting, especially those of you for whom English is not your first language. I am so glad we can have lively but civilised debate here. I'm glad to see that the appearance of a royal could impact on national standing and that Letizia has plenty to rally round her if she's seen to be under attack. My admiration for her style has long been expressed here, but on this one occasion, I'm afraid I remain of the view that this suit looks as if it had been slept in.

Queen Letizia is wearing a very current look. Although this style may not be your favorite look I don’t believe that opinion rises to a criticism
of Spain! I like this suit it is perfectly tailored to fit and Letizia as usual
looks great.
