Prince Williamis stepping up his fashion game, with a dashing new look
While at Centrepoint’s 50th anniversary gala event on Wednesday, William wore a striking emerald green velvet tuxedo jacket — a first for the royal who usually sticks to black for evening wear.
“I think it shows that he has real modern flair to wear a stylish green jacket like that,” Jahangir Azam, founder ofArthur Sleep, the designer of William’s evening slippers, tells PEOPLE. “Traditionally, a velvet jacket is the sign of an elegant gentleman — it’s great that he’s showing the versatility of evening wear.”
William has been wearing Arthur Sleep’sBlack Cashmere Slipperssince 2015 and they have become his go-to shoe for formal events. Handcrafted in England, the $516 shoes are made-to-order in 2-3 weeks and come with a selection of leather linings (William has the red!).
