Why is Queen Elizabeth always wearing bright colors?

Queen Elizabeth II has a famous motto: “You must be seen to believe.”

Queen Elizabeth II, who has been around the public eye all her life, wants her subjects to see her.

According to Daisy McAndrew, a royal expert, this is partly why she wears bright, festive colors for her public appearances.

She said that her daughter is small and sometimes difficult to spot. Her dressers decided years ago that brightly-colored clothing would help people spot her.

McAndrew also stated that the queen’s famous motto is “You have to see to believe.” She explained that it’s not about being out and doing the job but also allows for bright clothing to be seen. “And I think that it’s just personal preference… she likes all of the matching hats. Elizabeth, as head of state has traveled to every corner of the globe — often with flair.

This trend is well-known. Elizabeth wore a flowing pink dress and matching jacket and hat for a walk during the 1977 Silver Jubilee.

Trinity Mouzon Wofford is changing the tide in regards to lack of diversity within the wellness industry

The 2016 documentary “The Queen At 90” features Sophie, Countess, of Wessex explaining what it’s like to be part of the royal family’s public appearances with the long-standing monarch.

Sophie stated, “When people actually turn up to say hi and they want to, and they are pleased to see me, it’s really heartwarming.” It’s amazing to see the joy on the faces of people as they are able to greet the queen. They’re just a glance, a nod, or smile and say hello to the queen.

Prince Edward, Earl and youngest son of Queen Elizabeth, Sophie’s husband, said that they enjoy watching his mother entertain a crowd. He laughed, saying that one of the greatest entertainments was being in the car next to the queen’s car. “That’s where you can see all the reactions, especially in places they don’t expect to see the queen.

Vogue’s 2012 analysis showed that the queen wore most blue in 2012. McAndrew however stated that she thinks the royal is more into red and pink now.

McAndrew stated that McAndrew has been very interested in lime green lately. “I think she was probably persuaded to wear it, and received a lot of compliments.” Angela Kelly is the senior dresser for the queen. She has been with them since 1994. Kelly’s 2019 book “The Other Side of the Coin” explains that many of the monarchs’ outfits are made and designed in-house. Kelly explained that Kelly uses local fabrics, beautiful belts made while on vacation, and sometimes fabrics given to her by the monarch when designing royal outfits.

Kelly wrote that colour is important, but the choice of colour must be appropriate for the Queen and the occasion. Bright colors are great for the daytime because they make her stand out from the crowd, and allow her to be seen by the well-wishers who have come along to see her. Kelly stated that the queen has clear umbrellas in every color trim possible to match her outfits because it is likely to rain in England.

Kelly wrote that Kelly will use an umbrella if it rains. This ensures that she is visible even in the most difficult conditions.

Kelly said that the queen chooses her hats according to the occasion.

Kelly explained that Her Majesty is often dressed in bright and cheerful colours when she visits schools or children’s centres. Kelly also noted that her hat features the kinds of details that children love — feathers and twists, flowers and ribbons. Kelly wrote that she prefers to wear a well-defined, strong colour and a structured hat when she visits a residential or nursing home for the elderly. This helps those with visual impairments see her.

McAndrew suggests that the queen doesn’t want to appear depressingly dressed, but McAndrew added that it’s all about standing out.

She said, “So people don’t feel wasted if they have waited to see the actress,” “But the brighter the clothes, the larger the crowd.”
