Letizia of Spain, the secret of everything lies in a white shirt

The queen Letizia of Spain he knows it well: having some basic pieces in your wardrobe can save – stylistically speaking – a lot of situations. His favorite? Without any doubt the white shirt, an irreplaceable ally, even when you least expect it.

Just take a look at the look sported by the sovereign on the occasion of the traditional reception of the Diplomatic Corps at the royal palace for confirmation. Letizia of Spain, far from inaugurating 2025 with a brand new dress, has instead decided to draw from the basic of his wardrobe to compose a much appreciated combination of long cobalt skirt and pure white shirt. And hit the mark, strategically, once again.

In fact, Letizia played it safe for two reasons. The first because she relied on perhaps one of the most versatile pieces in the wardrobe, precisely the white shirt which goes with practically everything, always proving to be a winner: from the formal look to the more casual one. By chance Sharon Stone Does it tell you anything about the red carpet at the 1998 Oscars? Who better than the actress, wrapped in her sinuous skirt combined with a white shirt on the most prestigious red carpet, can give us confirmation of the adaptability of this garment?

And then, second reason, because the queen’s long skirt and white shirt combo it is a well-tested proposal, of those already attempted and attempted again more than once. Three to be precise (plus one, unlined during the trip to Italy last December). And, what’s more, on the occasion of the same event which is always held at the beginning of the year.

Taking a leap back a handful of years, in 2023, in fact, King Felipe’s wife, on the occasion of the same reception, showed off exactly the same look, opting however for a skirt, always long and fluid like the blue one of some now ago, in pink tones and a white shirt with detail pussy bow. A combination of class and elegance, both in the shades and in the perfectly successful combination.

In short, one style recipe which the Spanish queen seems to like, especially during this traditional event held every year at the Zarzuela Palace. Is it a sort of personal look? Maybe! After all, how can you blame her. His is yet another demonstration of how you don’t necessarily need special effects to amazebut key, basic pieces with which to play and experiment. Just like a very simple one white shirt.
