An Appreciation: Prince William is Stylish, Too

Ever since Kate Middleton became betrothed to England's #1 son, people have hailed her as the newest fashion icon. Everything she wears, whether it be Alexander McQueen or Reiss, is dissected, analyzed, critiqued, pondered, written about, tweeted about and all that. But at the end of the day, girlfriend has a killer bod, perfect brows and a luscious mane of hair. Chances are that she'll look good in a huge range of clothing. Media coverage reached a fevered pitch when the newlyweds made a trip to North America, hitting up Canada and the USA (though they snubbed the Big Apple in lieu of Los Angeles -- rude). And while Kate consistently looked polished, sophisticated and modern, no question, we have to say we were very impressed with Wills' fashion choices. Boys have a lot less to work with, in terms of sartorial choices, and being royalty narrows those choices -- you're pretty much relegated to suits or crazy uniforms. But on his American tour, Willy kind of nailed it. He looked debonair in his tux for the BAFTA event (and even though the bow tie was a tad oversized, it had an endearing Lanvin/Alber Elbaz quality to it), he worked out an all white moment (except for the navy blazer, complete with pocket square -- nice touch!), he looked sexy and natural in his plaids shirt and cowboy hat and he even looked amazing in gray corduroy pants, a light blue shirt and a blazer when deplaning. All in all, we have to say that either William is a man who has an eye for fashion, or someone behind the scenes is doing a very nice job dressing him. All hail the Prince!
