Queen Máxima was in Amsterdam today to attend a conference on the quality of school education. She unveiled an interesting new calot hat in khaki green pleated fabric. The hat is clearly made to match her skirt and the colour blocking in this outfit is a modern touch. Yesterday I complained about her dull, neutral ensemble– this is neutral but not dull at all. If I walked into a hat shop, this is not a hat I would choose but I think it’s a good accessory for this outfit. What do you think?

Queen Máxima of The Netherlands opened a symposium on the prevention of obesity for children and adults at the Boijmans van Beuninen museum in Rotterdam today. She wore a mushroom beige-grey wool hat with sharply upturned diagonal brim that we haven’t seen on her in a long time. It was one of her first hats in this shape; it is a great shape for her but I found the monochrome outfit a little dull. What do you think?
