Remember: classy trumps cool every single time.
CITY SHOES
I’ve always believed a girl should keep her heels, head, and standards high. But heels shouldn’t be so ridiculously high that you look like a cartoon, and ultimately, you want to be able to walk! (You literally should be able to walk comfortably in your heels for a full mile—which is the minimum daily walk for most Londoners.) Two and a half inches is just about right; anything higher is perilously close to porn star territory.
London’s ancient cobblestones can be quite aggressive on both your shoes and your body—so when it comes to highheels, make sure you have a good cobbler and a good chiropractor close at hand! I’m a stickler for fashion, but it’s not a sign of weakness to admit that there are times when cute ballet flats or comfy leather riding boots might be more appropriate.
WHAT NOT TO WEAR (UNLESS YOU’RE AT THE GYM):
your sorority letters
baseball caps
sweatpants
running shoes
windbreakers
anything supporting a US football, basketball, or baseball team
Cambridge Chic
Be loyal to the royal within you.
—U NKNOWN
You absolutely cannot go wrong if you try to emulate the eternally fabulous Duchess of Cambridge. Kate is wonderful: always poised, always confident, and always classy. Not only will she be the first British queen with a university degree, but she has shown that no matter what your background may be, if you conduct yourself with the grace of a princess, you have every right to move inroyal circles. Kate’s very presence on the balcony of Buckingham Palace has shown ordinary women (women who value ideals based on hard work, self-betterment, and unpretentiousness) that they too are worthy of a royal crown. While many have commented on how lucky she is to have married Prince William, personally, I think Prince William is lucky to have married
her
.
Part of Kate’s allure is that her fashion sense is pitch-perfect. She has perfected the art of “conservative chic,” and her love of classic staples, like tailored suits, tweed jackets, and suede boots, makes it clear that the girl was born to be a Windsor.
In a media age full of Paris Hiltons and Orange County Housewives, Kate has shown that a girl can be both modest and sexy—and if you wear something fitted and exquisitely cut, you don’t need a low neckline or short skirt. Kate has what I call the “there she is” factor—which is very different from the overly provocative “here I am” that seems to be preferred by so many modern celebrities. In fact, Kate is changing the very face of celebrity by injecting it with restraint; while others clamor to confess all, she maintains her regal silence. This is groundbreaking (if not downright radical) stuff.
I do wish Kate weren’t so heavy handed with her eyeliner, but she is leading the way when it comes to teaching England the value of a good American-style blow-dry. (Seriously, Kate’s blow-dry legacy is so important to the current state of British hair, the monarchy hardly needs to bother with any other charity work.)
Overall, your sartorial goal should be to attain the classic English look seen on Kate, her sister Pippa, and the other rosy-cheeked British girls that move within their affluent “Sloane Ranger” circle.
The term “Sloane Ranger” (often shortened to “Sloane”) refers to young upper-class or upper-middle-class Brits who tend to congregate near Chelsea’s fashionable Sloane Square (SW3). Thesepeople don’t buy new things, rather they
inherit
priceless things. In the Sloane Ranger world, it’s important to show that you are not a slave to fashion trends and would actually prefer to wear a vintage tweed jacket that once belonged to your grandmother than something flashy and expensive from Versace. It’s also important to work a subtle predilection for the countryside into your wardrobe. Remember: It’s
