Casual outfits tend to look a little different for the royals than they do for the rest of us. While we might pop out for coffee in workout gear or run a quick errand in worn out jeans, for royals who are constantly in the spotlight, even an outdoorsy public appearance requires a certain level of polish. That’s exactly the style sense that Queen Mary of Denmark showed off this week, when she joined a group of kids at the official opening of Nature Week 2025 at Ryvangens Nature Park in Hellerup, Denmark.
Polo Ralph Lauren Slim Fit Denim Shirt
Given the rustic nature of the event, in which the queen joined in on exploring the natural with the children, Mary opted for a low key look, wearing two-toned hiking trousers and a simple grey shirt. She added that signature polish by topping the look with a denim shirt from Polo Ralph Lauren, and a few strategic baubles.
The denim shirt—a style she’s sported on numerous occasions over the years—in particular stood out for its ability to blend sophistication and relaxation. Styled like a traditional white button down, the cut on the shirt is slim, lending a hint of tailoring to Mary’s otherwise rugged outdoors gear that instantly elevated the look.
Ray-Ban RB4362 Sunglasses
For both practicality and style, she chose a pair of Ray-Ban sunglasses (a favorite brand of the British royal family as well) in a soft, camel shade to complete the ensemble. The grey-beige (griege?) tone of the squared off style makes them an effortless neutral to add to any outfit—no doubt one of the reasons that the queen has turned to them repeatedly this year for outdoor events.
