Fashion Rules of the Men of The British Royal Family
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
๐ซ๐ถ๐๐๐ & ๐ฎ๐ฝ๐๐๐๐
Boys never wear pants! When a boy is going through his toddler years, he is never allowed to wear pants. Boys wear smart shorts when attending public events, but donโt were pants until theyโre about 8 years old. The tradition of young boys wearing shorts, dates all the way back to the 16th century. This tradition is called the practice of breeching, which is when a toddler grows out of wearing traditional gowns & moves onto wearing breeches.
As British Etiquette Expert William Hanson explained,ย โTrousers are for older boys & men, whereas shorts on young boys is one of those silent markers that that we have in England. A pair of trousers on a young boy is considered middle class โquite suburban. And no self-respecting aristo or royal would be considered suburban. The usual custom is that a boy graduated to trousers around 8 years old.โ

When on a Royal Tour, it is extremely rare to see a royal wearing black as part of their fashion plan. Each royal, must carry a black outfit while traveling outside of the country, in case of an emergency like a family member dying. The black outfit being packed is helpful so that when they arrive back in England, they are dressed appropriately. Outside of a death, wearing black is a major fashion rarity for men. The color is mostly worn on Remembrance Day or in a menโs tux.

Military Uniforms are the most common & customary outfit worn by the men & women of the British Royal Family. They are worn at the most formal of events like Trooping of the Color & Weddings. This has been a tradition since the 19th Century &ย Her Royal Highness Anne The Princess Royal is the first royal woman to dress in a military uniform since Queen Elizabeth I in 1588.
Examples of Military Uniform Events:
Weddings:ย
1. Prince William (2011) - Tunic of the Colonel of the Irish Guard, one of two Irish infantry regiments in the British Army.ย The buttons on Williamโs tunic were arranged in groups of four to show the Irish Guard as the fourth of the Foot Guards regiments to be established. Over his tunic, William wore his garter sash, garter star, his pilotโs wings (to represent his service in the Royal Air Force), & a Golden Jubilee medal.
2. Prince Harry (2018) - A Single Breasted Frockcoat of the Blues & Royals, aย a cavalry regiment & the second most senior regiment in the British Army. Harry wore a majorโs uniform instead of a generalโs uniform, as Harry is the Captain General of the Royal Marines. The now Duke had to seek approval from the Queen herself for permission to wear the uniform. On his chest, Harry wore pilotโs wings, which represent his time serving in the Army Air Corps. Harryโs trousers, were made from blue and black wool barathea & featured red panelling, a leather strap, & a buckle below the boot traditionally worn when on horseback.ย

Denim: A non-preferred but not forbidden piece of clothing.
Denim is not seen being worn often by British royal men or women, as its a go-to item when attending events or just being out in public. When choosing to be in a more casual outfit, royals typically go trousers & khaki pants. Days spent in the English countryside are always in a relaxed but polished dress code like Wax Jackets, Tweed Flat Hats, or Wool Coats. Denim is fine, if royals are just walking the grounds of the different estates, like for example if they go walking the dogs for their daily walks. Denim is now typically worn in private at home settings.

It is a rule in most militaries (Australia, Colombian Navy, Finland, India, Iraq, Ireland, Israel, Lebanon, Mexico, Nepal, Norway,ย Pakistan, Royal Life Guards of Denmark, Serbia,ย South Korea, Sweden,ย Syria, Turkey, & United States of America: Most of these countries will let the men grow a mustache that is neatly kept but a beard is only allowed to be grown with special permission for health/religion reasons), the mean must be cleaned shaven. With the British Military, as long as the mens facial hair is neat & tidy they are allowed to have facial hair like beards, sideburns, & mustaches. Prince Phillip & Prince Harry, both grew out their facial hair while in service. Queen Elizabeth is not a fan & intensely dislikes facial hair, expecting royal men to remove it sooner than later.ย

You donโt typically see the British Royal Family wearing bright out there colors except for the Queen. When not at a very formal event, the family is generally wearing muted down colors, mostly in a palette of crisp whites, navy blues, or pale grey. Morning Coats are in either black or charcoal color & trousers must be grey but have a checked or striped pattern. Turndown collar shirts must be white or pastel & can be worn with a grey or buff colored waistcoat. Ties must be grey but can be in lighter colors.ย

Men do follow a dress code for certain types of days.ย When being out in a more casual setting, royals typically go trouser, cardigans, blazers, polo shirts, button down shirts, & khaki pants.ย
Days spent in the English countryside are always in a relaxed but polished dress code like Wax Jackets, Tweed Flat Hats, or Wool Coats.ย
For a Morning Dress Day like Christmas, men will wear a Turndown Collar Shirt, a Tie, a Waistcoat, a Cutaway Tailcoat, & Striped Trousers. A Morning Coat is a single breasted coat with a single button closure & peaked lapel. Turndown Collar Shirts, can be replaced with a single-cuffed shirt worn with a detachable wing collar & a waistcoat. Accessories include top hats, pocket squares, & gloves. ย
For evening formal events, men will wear tuxedo suits.ย

Each of the royal men have a personal style of their own, that is worked into their everyday wear. These are called Small Accents. For Prince William, itโs his Wellington Boots, for Prince Harry itโs his Persol Sunglasses, & for Prince Charles its locally made attire.ย

As yโall know, I am a college student. Iโm currently in my 4th semester of college & it's going well so far. Last semester I took a gap semester break, so going back to school has been weird but good. I decided a year ago that I wanted to be a communications major, but after working at my current job where I work at a school with kids, I have decided to change my major to Elementary Education. I love my kids at work, I love talking to some of the teachers when I have questions about the kids homework even when Iโm struggling with the way the kids are being taught to do certain things, & I grew up being a student at the school I now work at as an employee. I have grown to accept that I know I will become a teacher but Iโm so excited for not only my future, but the future of the kids I work with. I hope I get to make an influence on children in their education one day.
