Stripes are one of those patterns that are striking and really stand out in a crowd. Stripes of all kinds seem to be the trend this season especially striped pants. The diagonal stripes in this skirt are an interesting feature and the Zara crossover top is a perfect compliment making this a great summer outfit. I'm happy the skirt was altered from the way it was presented on the model. The shorter more tailored length of Letizia's version is much more visually appealing.

She teamed that shirt with a Sweet Matitos' skirt last time too. Interesting.

I'm sure this skirt was lovely in person with the sumptuous satin stripes on what looks like crisp cotton. In some photographs the ribbons look somewhat puckered (which I am sure they weren't) it must be the movement of the base fabric and lighting. One criticism I do have, if this was a bespoke piece, it's a shame the design wasn't matched on the side seams. I did particularly like the defining waist band and that navy was the dominate colour. The navy/white looks bright and fresh against the uniforms, the Queen looks cool and polished. The outfit was perfectly accessorised, I'm pleased a navy clutch wasn't chosen to coordinate with the shoes, the white is quite uplifting. The Zara wrap top is very feminine much like the skirt, the slightly raised collar looks more formal for the occasion and the tapered fit balances the fullness of the pleats. I love the modern hairstyle which has become a-go to recently, it's very flattering. Very exciting to see a new brand showcased, I wish I knew more about Spanish designers that aren't as well known internationally.

Jenny, I think that "puckered up" effect is on purpose. When I was a child I used to see skirts like that. It is as a long silk ribbon would have been sewed. We used that silk ribbon for the hair also.

Hi Simone, how interesting. I am intrigued by the construction of this Sweet Matitos skirt. If the puckering is a design feature maybe it forms that sumptuous look. It appears that the ribbons were sewn flat against the base fabric, possibly (in this case) being on the diagonal creates a puckering effect. Thanks for your insight. I was sorry to hear that this company is in trouble, it's very considerate of Letizia to try and help draw awareness. I hope it makes a difference.

I knew I liked that raised blouse collar and didn't know why until you explained it to me! Thank you. I think you're spot on to say it references a touch of formality. And it continues to amaze me how even high-end designers fail to match patterns at the seams, to some of us that just looks plain sloppy but it seems to be quite the norm these days.

Hi Bertie, it pains me at how many high-end designers don't seem concerned with seam lines. It really can make all the difference and make something appear beautifully constructed and considered.

Oooh nice!

I had to smile as the way the image of her shoes lines up under the image of her torso makes it look like she's wearing an ultra-mini when I quickly scrolled through the post!

Anyway, this outfit is perfection.

This is a beautiful, polished summer look. I wouldn't change a thing. Letizia has such a sense of style, no matter what the occasion is.

Those who follow what Meghan the Duchess of Sussex wears, will recall her skirt and blouse combo worn at Wimbledon. Many didn't like the shirt blouse with the pleated skirt. This top that Letizia wore would look very nice with Meghan's Hugo Boss, skirt.

I took a look at Meghan's outfit and you're right. The shirt she wore was too bulky for such a full skirt. Letizia's top is perfect because it's a close fit so it tapers and accentuates the waist. I think full skirts should always be teamed with a fitted top or blazer.

The skirt is the 'Saje' model, not a custom piece.

Thanks for the info! It appears the Sweet Matitos website no longer works so I can't find a good stock image of the skirt

Elizabeth, the company has suspended payment, because of that Letizia worn this skirt. She did the same with Adolfo Dominguez and helped them. She sometimes wear brands with trouble ( except Zara, Mango or Massimo Dutti..)

From what I can gather, the 'Saje' model refers to the corset:

In those stock images you can see the skirt which is identical to Letizia's. So you are correct, the skirt is not custom but I'm not entirely confident of the style name. I will reach out to Sweet Matitos for more details.

This is sheer perfection from Letizia, that Sweet Matitos skirt is an absolute winner, so striking with the graded stripes which work beautifully to create extra contrast as the flared panels shift as she moves. The smart contrast of navy on white tunes right in with the military context of the engagement.

The crossover Zara top is perfection, simple yet stylish with the subtle drape, and I continue to love those Herrera. slingbacks. It was an equally smart move to pick the white Furla clutch against the blue footwear and maintain her twin-tone theme. The Gold and Roses dagger earrings are great with all the stripes and lines as well. Love all of it!!

I cannot help but compare this to the outfit Meghan wore yesterday at Wimbleton. There is no comparison, really, except that Letizia's is perfection and Meghan's was a mess. Awful combo.

A lovely outfit. I love the collar of the blouse it looks very effective. The skirt stands out and prefer the length on the Queen as opposed to the models. The sling back navy shoes I love.
