This Saturday, at St James's Palace in London, the man most of us have known all our lives as Prince Charles will be officially proclaimed King following the death of his mother, Queen Elizabeth II.
The fact he will be the oldest man in history to accede to the throne has been much remarked upon; the fact he will also be the most stylish, less so.
Those of us who care about such things can play an easy game. What is your favourite King Charles III style moment?
Maybe it’s the time he wore a western suit (in a jazzy shade of millennial pink) with a check shirt, a bolo tie and a quartz-hued ten-gallon hat on an official tour of Canada in the late 1970s.
Tumblr media
Or perhaps it’s the time he wore a short-sleeved baby-blue safari shirt with a pair of chinos and some riding boots to the polo.
Our personal favourite? The time he brandished his considerable wealth with no shortage of rakishness by pairing a yolk-yellow Hermès sweater (complete with cartoonish “Happy Hermès” logo) with a chambray shirt and a pair of skintight white jeans to, you guessed it, a polo match at the Guards Polo Club in Windsor.
Tumblr media
What people tend to forget about Charles is that he was a bit of a style icon back in the day.
But it's something that will be brought back to our collective consciousness as the outpouring of grief and tributes from around the world slowly give way to looking at the future of the monarchy, which Charles now leads after the longest wait in royal history.
Take the forest-green and cherry-red shirt Charles wore to play in a charity polo match in the late Seventies.
Imbued with a prepped-up, Eton-boy-gone-bad vibe (not least because Charles chose to wear it quite so close-cut), it wouldn’t be difficult to imagine Frank Ocean – or even the fash pack’s favourite skater Blondey McCoy – wearing the same thing today and looking every bit the wavy young disruptor doing it.
Then there’s that full-on, Yves Saint Laurent-inspired taupe safari suit he wore on a state visit to Australia in 1985.
Tumblr media
Both of those looks exemplify Charles’s acute understanding of the soft power demonstrated by an excellent cut.
The King so often opted – and still opts – for muted shades over showier ones and tends to pick garments that focus on function over form.
This attention to detail is something those studying the King have often remarked on.
The man who played him in the The Crown, Josh O'Connor, said:
“Whenever he gets out of a car, he checks his cufflink, checks his pocket and then waves. [It’s] the same movement every time.”
It’s this sense of consistency that defines Charles' unique personal flair.
“In every photo you see, he has great style. The shirt, tie and pocket square combinations are put together so well, with a great eye for detail,” says Steven Quin, retail director at Turnbull & Asser.
“He’s not afraid of colour and he clearly wears what he feels comfortable in and does not follow trends. HRH has always worn a double-breasted jacket.
I remember reading a quote from him where he stated that his style 'comes back into fashion every 25 years’. That still rings true. His elegance is timeless.”
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The other important thing to note about Charles’ very specific mode of dressing is that he’s loyal to the brands he likes and, perhaps most importantly, he invests in quality.
He has his shirts made at the aforementioned Jermyn Street shirtmaker Turnbull & Asser.
He wears handmade shoes from Northampton shoemaker Crockett & Jones.
He gets his ceremonial gear from Ede & Ravenscroft.
He alternates having his suits made at Gieves & Hawkes and Anderson & Sheppard. It’s a roster of loyalty many British men will probably relate to.
“[King] Charles is a total inspiration. His taste is impeccable, almost always in double-breasted jackets, looking resplendent but totally at ease with a tie and pocket square,” says John Harrison, creative director at Gieves & Hawkes.
”He’s also done more than anyone in the public eye to promote the idea of bespoke garments and handmade shoes being investments, to last forever with proper care and the odd repair or patch-up. He makes us all want to dress like a better man.”
Tumblr media
Ultimately, though, it’s the confidence King Charles displays with his wardrobe decisions – a certain ruffled indifference – that makes his style so covetable.
Though today he’s best known for wearing a double-breasted suit better than any man on earth (fact), once upon a time his collars were curled, his shirts were French tucked, his jumpers were oversized.
Such flourishes are beyond him now, and not just because he's a man of 73.
After Saturday's official proclamation will come much more pomp and ceremony to sit him on the throne: a second meeting of the Accession Council in which he must swear an oath to preserve the Church of Scotland (a tradition dating back to the early 18th century).
A fanfare of trumpets from the balcony above St James's Palace, gun salutes in Hyde Park and from naval ships at sea, and the national anthem sung with the words “God Save the King.”
All of these before the coronation itself, at which Charles will have the crown placed on his head before a global audience of millions.
He will dress according to tradition throughout, in suits of impeccable shape and cut.
But as he goes forward in the role he has waited a lifetime to play, something of the King's fastidious but playful character will come back into what he wears and how he wears it.
It will be part of his legacy, wherever that may lead us.

I just accidentally encountered a £700 pair of pajamas and I'm once again reminded that there are a lot of people out there doing things I don't understand.

Michael Fawcett
Tumblr media
Physique: Average Build Height: 5' 10" (1.78 m)
Michael David Fawcett MVO (born 6 November 1962-) is a former senior valet to Charles, Prince of Wales who today consults on various royal projects. Joining the staff at Buckingham Palace in 1981 as a footman to Queen Elizabeth II before becoming an “indispensable” aide to the Prince of Wales for 40 years. In 1998, various staff complained about his bullying, after which he resigned, but within a week he was reinstated and promoted. He resigned in 2003 after being accused and later cleared of selling royal gifts, but he continued to work as a freelance fixer and events manager for the prince.

A gorgeous man, though Fawcett has lost weight and gained a few grey hairs since quitting royal service, and the double-breasted suits, Turnbull & Asser shirts and silk 'pochette' squares that were once his sartorial trademark are now confined to their wardrobe.

Fawcett is married with a daughter and a son. What's this… In 2003 a former footman and valet to Charles, alleged that he was raped by Fawcett and claimed to have seen the future king and Fawcett having sex one morning when he went to Charles’s bedroom to serve him breakfast. OK, the claim was refuted by another ex-servant. Now if you'll excuse me, the whole ‘Prince & Valet with Benefits’ thing is making me want to handle some business.

“Come to the bit about soft silk shirts for evening wear?” I asked, carelessly. “Yes, sir,” said Jeeves, in a low, cold voice, as if he had been bitten in the leg by a personal friend. “And if I may be pardoned for saying so⁠—” “You don’t like it?” “No, sir. I do not. Soft silk shirts with evening costume are not worn, sir.”
What do we think of the soft silk shirts?

🪡 Amazing close-up detail of the oak leaf and acorn embroidery on the specially commissioned Turnbull & Asser shirt worn by The King on Coronation Day, 6 May 2023. 👑
The embroidery was worked by hand in cream silk and took 40 hours to complete.
The sketch shows the King’s CIIIR cypher.
