Tailored To Perfection
Today's Royals are lucky that they no longer have to wear floor-length gowns and heavy robes as part of their official wardrobes. What they do wear today, however, are suits. Being in the Royal family means you get your clothes tailored specifically for you, the
British Royal family knows that more than anyone. As for the case of Queen Letizia of Spain, she's used to wearing tailored pieces since she formerly worked as a news anchor before marrying then-Prince Felipe. As Queen, however, her looks are tailored to perfection, accentuating her petite frame without making her look small. She still radiates her inner regality in her well-made outfits.

Be Courageous with Prints
What's so great about Queen Letizia of Spain is her fearlessness in fashion. She doesn't let being a royal pigeonholed her sartorial choices. Styles that other royals may find too risque, she embraces and proudly wears even during her official events. That includes her affinity for prints. Printed outfits were never a royal's go-to style choice but this never stopped Queen Letizia from embracing floral designs, butterfly patterns, colorful stripes, and the like. Yet even with all those prints, her natural beauty and regal demeanor shine through no matter what. She is always wearing her clothes, not the clothes wearing her!

Stand Out with Color
Not many Spanish brands are known for going wild with color.
Famous high street labels like Zara and Mango are known for their use of neutrals and the like. With that said, Queen Letizia is one who's never been afraid to splash some bright hues in her outfits. She's been seen in the most electric shades of red, blue, green, purple, burgundy, and more. At times, she has even dared to pair her stand-out tones with eye-catching patterns too, further proving that the Spanish queen really is today's most fearlessly fashionable royals.

A Little Black Dress Always Works
Despite her most blinding fashion choices, Queen Letizia of Spain also embraces the classics every now and then. One, in particular, is the little black dress. Although the LBD is more known as a
Paris style staple than a classic Spanish piece, the current queen has certainly made it all her own. She's been spotted wearing a classic sleeveless version akin to the iconic
Audrey Hepburn look in the 1963 film, 'Breakfast at Tiffany's.' Paring it with a diamond tiara, she looked like the personification of elegance that night. At another time, however, she gave the LBD a more fashionable twist by way of having it in leather and in a big silhouette.

Don't Be Afraid To Bear Skin
Queen Letizia of Spain certainly isn't afraid to
dress like a Spaniard even while her husband sits on the Spanish throne! Spanish women are known as some of the most beautiful and sexiest in the world. The queen is certainly one of them and she's not shy to prove it. Compared to other royals in neighboring countries, she's always been one to unapologetically sport sleeveless dresses, one-shoulder gowns, and the like. It's not like her looks are risque, but compared to the covered-up styles of other royal women in the world, she's definitely one that shows more skin!

All About Simplicity
Above all else, Queen Letizia of Spain keeps her style simple and easy to imitate. It's possible she knows that, as Queen, her style choices would be copied by millions of women in Spain and around the world. That's why, despite her otherwise fearless fashion looks, she's always stayed simple and classic. Even when she's showing off some skin (more so than other royals), her silhouettes are easy to define and copy. Her coatdresses and suits aren't too complicated to understand, it's how she wears them with pride and elegance that they look and seem more complex than they actually are.
