Checkmate! Queen Letizia of Spain shows us how to do grown-up tartan
MOVE aside Kate Middleton! Queen Letizia is our new fashion icon thanks to her chic monochrome styling
Tartan can be a tricky trend to pull off thanks to its school girl connotations.
However, Queen Letizia of Spain shows that it can be styled to look chic rather than childlike.
The Queen of Spain stepped out in a checked monochrome top with three-quarter length sleeves to a royal engagement earlier today.
She paired the graphic-print top with smart black trousers and red high-heeled shoes.
The key to Letizia's styling is that the silhouette is kept clean and the bold print is the focus of the outfit.
The 42-year-old royal has been compared to Kate Middleton thanks to her glossy brunette hair, toned figure and polished look.
However, Letizia isn't afraid to take risks with her look.
While she steps out in elegant outfits she manages to add a bit of zest and personality with her fashion choices.
