The confinement is for everyone, including Their Majesties the King and Queen who have had to continue with their official agenda from the Zarzuela Palace by video call, like the rest of the European royalty, and some rare visits. Today, we wanted to review the looks left to us by Queen Letizia who, no doubt, have been the most sober ones we know.

We start with the last of the styles he left us Ms. Letizia during the videoconference with directors and patrons of the Residencia de Estudiantes to find out how this cultural research institution has adapted to the situation caused by COVID-19.

On this occasion, as in the rest, he again opted for a suit or combination of blazers and dress pants as pieces. Thus, we saw her with a blazer by Massimo Dutti Prince of Wales style that he has combined with a blue knit top. Of course, his inseparable Karen Hallam ring couldn’t be missing.

And following with another of the chosen looks, we move on to the Book Day look when Their Majesties connected with the Cervantes Institute. This time, the queen wore a total black: a black suit, with a jacket without flaps and a black round neck top.

For the videoconference with the managers of the Hospital Materno Infantil Gregorio Marañón in Madrid, Letizia again opted for a black pinstriped white Mango suitcombined with a black-knit, v-neck sweater.

Again, we saw her with a classic black suit combined with a animal print during the videoconference with the Integra Foundation, for the labour integration of people in severe social exclusion.

On April 20, Doña Letizia held a video conference with managers and members of the organization Down Spain, for which he bet, as we saw, on a very sober look in which the jacket and trouser suit became a great ally: trousers and blazer also black with large white checks that you’ve combined with a beige knit sweater, Hugo Boss moccasins and again his Karen Hallam ring.

During the video conference, ASPACE and the Association “El Despertar”, the queen combined a grey trouser with a black jacket and a super simple gray knit sweater.

Perhaps the look we saw her in the video conference with the Red Estatal de Mujeres Salud Mental España was one of those that perhaps most went off the beaten track because of the pinstriped sweater combined with a navy blue suit and dancers from Pretty Ballerinas.

Again we saw the queen with the Massimo Dutti’s grey jacket in the video conference with the leaders of the State Confederation of Deaf People, but this time he combined it with a beige sweater.

And yes, we also saw her last April 14th with the pinstripe handle suit combined with a simple white round-neck shirt.

Again the black tailor’s suit combined with a simple grey T-shirt from Hugo Boss, was the look chosen for the conversation that the King and Queen had with the managers of the Food Bank at the beginning of April.

As we can see, the black suit has become one of the basics of Her Majesty the Queen, as she also showed during her videoconference with Children’s Villages in early April, combining it with a grey charcoal knit sweater.

A navy blue suit combined it with a T-shirt with turquoise touches was chosen for the videoconference with the medical and scientific team of the Hospital Clínico San Carlos in Madrid on the first day of April.

And the I brought a tailor, this time in black, signed by Hugo Boss has also combined it with a coral red turtleneck for the videoconference with the medical and scientific team of the Hospital Clínico San Carlos in Madrid.

And on three occasions we have seen Dona Letizia wearing the pinstriped Mango suit, the first one in the video conference held with Caritas.

And we ended up with another look that was repeated, which was the one that Doña Letizia wore in the first of the video conferences that she held from Zarzuela with the president of Mercadona, Juan Roig, accompanied by part of his management team. The navy blue suit with the striped shirt.

At this time when we’re making the most of the sweatshirts in our closet, our eyes go straight to the models of this garment we see on social networks. Beyond our infatuation with models with the logo of the big firms, there is one that we have put without hesitation in our wishlist mental: the round neck sweatshirt with the retro Abercrombie logo.

Available in six different colors (black, light grey, light yellow, peach, light purple and light green), this model halfway between a garment oversize and a fitted one, has conquered us by its rubbers in waist and arms and logo of retro look in inverted uve. But most of all, because of its colors. The wide range of pastels in which it is available is most appealing now that what we dream of are the shades of spring that transport us outdoors.

Beyond the sportswear that always looks good on a sweatshirt, now have become a piece of worship that accepts (and cries out) contrast with other aesthetics like the romantic one. A nice sweatshirt combined with a long skirt in a moving fabric or superimposed on a flowing dress, is a marvel. It doesn’t have to give a track suit effect.

If we’ve been talking about cool which was wearing sneakers with suits, we now highlight the power of a sweatshirt combined with a skirt.

For this moment we are living it is ideal, because it adds the right amount of comfort to an “out of house” style and raises the look Great.

Then there is also, of course, the option of wearing it with intermediate garments between the sport trousers and the skirt, which wears out like jeans. You can get a lot out of a sweatshirt and more if it’s a powder colorbecause pastel shades are more fashionable than ever.

Zara delights us with its new Spring-Summer 2020 super campaign. The brand had already taken these photos a few weeks ago, so these images are a far cry from the last deliveries at home, an initiative that has delighted us.

In this very special campaign, Zara shows its high level, as Steven Meisel is once again responsible for immortalising the latest proposals of Inditex’s flagship, a photographer for whom he has already made a commitment on other occasions. Karl Templer is responsible for the styling and Fabien Baron is the art director. The result?

Accessories that are ideal with the latest styles proposed by Zara and that come ready to fall in love, at least with the photographs have already achieved it.

No wedding, no special dates: probably one of the harder styles that we face every year is the one we take to the beach. Achieving the perfect balance between simplicity, comfort and elegance is not easy… although over time we have been shown that it is also not impossible. With social networks full of divine inspiration, the most stylish girls show us a key garment to achieve styles of summa cum laude (aka honorary registration). That’s why you’ll only need a roomy shirt, and if you don’t have one, borrow it from your partner/father/brother.

The shirt as the only piece of styling (apart from the swimsuit)

Less is more, so much so that we realize that beach (or pool) looks are easier than we can imagine. With just a wide shirt we will have it all -literally-.

The accessories play a fundamental part in improving the final look, and we see this in each of the images presented to us.

A different style where the bikini is not only for going to the beach

But if you are one of those who goes to different places during a day and needs a “more complete” style, fashion prescribers choose to accompany the shirt -open as a jacket- with some jeans shorts or some wide linen pants.

Now that the WHO and countries such as Spain are backing away from recommending the use of masks for asymptomatic people, it seems that this product has definitely come into our lives to stay, at least until the end of the Covid-19 pandemic. In recent weeks we have learned how to address the shortage of masks in pharmacies by making our own at home and also what materials studies say are most effective. However, this new supplement still raises many questions for us regarding its use. Today we will see how and when to wash them so that they are properly disinfected.

How often do you need to change or wash a mask?

Firstly, it is important to know that the WHO advises against the reuse of any single-use mask. These should replace “as soon as they are wet” with “new, clean and dry”.. However, in the event that a limited supply is available, allergist and immunologist Purvi Parikh offers the alternative of letting them air out inside a paper bag for three to five days so that the germs can die before they are used again.

For cloth masks, the CDC (U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) has determined that must be washed after each use. That is, when we return home after going out to do the shopping, for example, we would have to throw it in the washing machine or the laundry basket automatically.

How do I wash my cloth mask?

The network of solidarity dressmakers, who follow direct instructions from the Hospital Clínico in Zaragoza to manufacture masks for health and non-health centres that need them, explain through their website that they must wash in the washing machine at more than 60 degrees after every use. Any type of detergent and fabric softener can be used and can even be tumble dried.

However, if we do not have a washing machine at home or do not yet have enough laundry to put one in, we can also wash it by hand by following the same procedure by which we wash delicate clothes. However, with hot water and leaving it to soak for half an hour after rubbing it with soap.

How do I safely remove my mask?

As long as we are wearing our mask we have to avoid touching it, as explained by the WHO. When it comes to taking it off, the technique is as follows: avoiding touching the front of the maskwe untie her from behind. Immediately after removing it, we immediately wash our hands with soap and water or disinfect them with hydroalcoholic gel.

This is something that also needs to be done after touching a used maskeither by mistake or after taking it out of the laundry basket and putting it in the washing machine.

Other considerations

It should not be forgotten that, according to experts, wearing a mask can give a false sense of security, since if the virus gets into our hands and we touch our face, we can still be infected. Therefore, in addition to practicing social distancing, we should wash our hands often. Dr. Pérez Almeida explained that we must do this for at least twenty seconds at a time and that the number of times a day should not go below ten.

Games and puzzles have become our allies these days to get through confinement in a fun way. Dior offers us the game with more glamour, a game that explores the history of maison, a perfect option to learn more about the luxury brand we love so much.

Remember Dior is a perfect game for fashion lovers and also exercises our memory.

The best entertainment of my life was the riddles that my friends and I improvised for twenty years. This quote from Christian Dior about what he loved about games is at once a tribute to the creator.

The brand’s proposal is made up of photographs by Brigitte Niedermair and unique garments, through which historical moments of the firm are covered. As the game progresses, icons are discovered – a perfect opportunity to get to know the French brand in depth.

The first thing you have to do is download image templates and print them out and cut them out to have some kind of deck to start playing with. The pictures are very nice.

Then all the images are placed upside down. If the player lifts a pair of identical images, he wins the pair and plays again, and so on. The winner is the one with the most pairs. A game to play alone or with other players who want to challenge you.

We just completed a month’s confinement and the ideas to create looks comfortable and aesthetic to be at home continue to flourish. Some will prefer to wear the classic tracksuit – or the popular new “pajandal” – while those who prefer to dress in the normal way will probably opt for baggy jeans and loose fitting sweatshirts.

For both fashion lovers we bring today a very cool proposal: the sweatshirts with logo. The madness of logomania appeared with force a few seasons agoIt’s still a struggle, thanks to designs by brands like Kenzo, Levi’s, Vans and Anine Bing (the top brand at the moment for lovers of the latest trends).

The aesthetics of the 90s resist leaving this season and impose themselves in garments of minimalist aesthetics – with a particular touch in each case – where a powerful base colour and the brand logo becomes the main protagonist of these iconic sweatshirt designs (which are also very easy to combine).

The revolution and success of the Netflix docuseries Tiger King have put the image of this big cat on the front line and Anine Bing is one of the firms where we can get garments with this design.

Sweatshirt Authentic of Kappa

The lovers of the sport aesthetics of the 90’s will have it clear: Kappa designs are the coolest. The revival of the era of the Spice Girls has put firms like Kappa on the crest of the wave these last few seasons. The design Authentic is the model of the brand that adds to the madness of logomania.
