Of Course Kate Middleton Looks Amazing in an Ugly Shirt

kate middletonLeave it to Kate Middleton to look stylish in an Olympic-themed short-sleeved polo shirt. Duchess Catherine, along with Princes William and Harry, showed her support for the 2012 Summer Games yesterday by watching the passing of the torch outside of Buckingham Palace in an official Team Great Britain ambassador shirt, pair of skin-tight cobalt blue jeans, and her signature LK Bennett wedges.

Who looks like this in a polo shirt? I mean, seriously, this is ridiculous.

Polo shirtsss ... are one of those articles of clothing, in my opinion at least, that just don't look good on most. When I think of them, I think of traveling salesmen. I think of business conventions at Holiday Inns. I think of Best Buy workers. Typically, ladies -- and I know there are exceptions -- just can't rock them. Or their clothing counterpart, khakis.

But of course Kate looks amazing in one. Somehow, she manages to look polished, patriotic, and rich in this get-up. (Tell me she doesn't ooze wealth in this photo.) I mean, heels and a polo shirt? The hell? If I were only to hear a verbal description of this outfit, I would assume it would look heinous (heels and a polo shirt?!). But it's not. It's chic. Well, on Kate it's chic. Because that's how she does.

    I don't think the shirt looks that bad. If you cover up the pants, it looks like a plain white shirt. It's the pants that don't look all that good, but that's just my opinion.

    I agree her pants are too tight and they arent long enough. Her hair looks amazing though!

    Polo shirts have been a part of my wardrobe for so long .i've been desensitized to their ugliness. From school uniforms to work uniforms, I've been in polos and khakirts for the majority of the last fifteen years.

    She looks amazing even in that. I wish I could pull that look off. And polo shirts are nice

    I agree with the above posters. Who decided that "skinny jeans" were a good idea? The Duchess has a beautiful figure and even SHE can't pull them off. They just don't look good. A pair of straight-leg jeans would have looked much better.

    But I generally agree with the polo thing... she rocks it. Most women, myself included, just don't look right in them. They were made for men, and men look good in them.

    Her whole outfit is very chic, and would look good on anyone thin like her. Alainalynn -- her pants are supposed to be short...they're cropped. Very hot style for this past spring/summer season.

    I think she looks awful. Put the shirt with denim and the skinnies/heels with just about any other top. It simply doesnt look good together. I just dont understand this "she would make a burlap sack look good" attitude.

    I admit the royalty has been receiving too much coverage so much that I seriously believe they're overrated. On the other hand, it is refreshingly interesting to see the various fashion portrayed by Kate Middleton. She suits the title 'Duchess' as she has a prim look, brings herself well with her gracefulness and looks classic in almost any clothing. Her white shirt and blue pants really shows how down-to-earth she can be. Most celebrities will most probably dress over the top attending to any event that is going to receive a mass amount of coverage. However, not for Kate Middleton though. It just goes to show how practical and realistic she can be even though she's part of the royalty..
