Queen Mary of Denmark never fails to look polished for any occasion and her latest look combined vintage-style tailoring and accessories with a chic Harris Wharf trench coat.
The Australian-born Danish Queen stepped out in the neutral trench with an umbrella, giving us all a masterclass in transitional dressing as she and husband King Frederik continued their summer tour.
Proving that it's time to dig out your best trench coat, Mary styled the timeless piece with a '50s-style A-line skirt from Baum und Pferdgarten, teamed with a navy cropped jacket from Prada and a printed blouse from Proenza Schouler. A trench coat is a perfect piece for your summer-to-autumn capsule wardrobe, appropriate for unexpected cold and rainy weather while still being a far cry away from a heavy winter coat. And you don't have to splash out on a Burberry trench either, as there's so many elegant high street picks to chose from.
Mary's look was finished with a wide-brimmed hat reminiscent of old-school Hollywood style, which the royal removed once the rain started in exchange for a large umbrella. We're giving extra style points for the rich blue-toned brolly that matched Mary's skirt and jacket.
Queen Mary was visiting Vejle Harbour in Denmark as part of her and King Frederik's summer tour when she debuted the gorgeously chic outfit. Unfazed by the storm, she looked happy and relaxed alongside her husband as they completed the last leg of their tour around the country. During the visit, the couple dropped in on local businesses in the area, including Kong Gaurs Gård, a daycare centre in Vejle, and the manufacturing company Welcon A/S.
Prepared for all weather - and terrain - the Queen of Denmark slipped into some sensible shoes when the weather got more stormy, swapping her Gianvito Rossi Ascent 85 Pink Leather Pumps for some stylish ballet flats.
