Princess Charlene of Monaco's Cozy Christmas Card Look Is the Perfect Outfit for the Holidays

Royal holiday card season is in full swing—and as much as we love them for the opportunity to take a peek inside palace life, one of the other opportunities these family photo fests provide is that chance to snag a little royal style inspiration for the holidays. Case in point: The royal family of Monaco's recent Christmas card, which featured the often formally dressed royals in a more relaxed setting.

For the portrait, Princess Charlene, her husband, Prince Albert, and their twin kids, Princess Gabriella and Prince Jacques, all went for a low-key sweater and trouser ensemble in varying neutral shades. Charlene's look, in particular, was a standout for those looking to perfect a mix of understated elegance this season.

The princess opted for an ensemble from one of her go-to brands, Ralph Lauren, in palette of snuggly brown shades. Though that might sound basic, the key is in the details like unexpected shine and lush texture, which take the simple silhouette to the next level.

On the bottom, she donned a pair of espresso jeans, jazzed up with a bit of texture and sheen for a leather-like look. She topped those with grey-toned brown (dare we suggest Mocha Mousse, Pantone's color of the year?) ribbed turtleneck sweater, which got a subtle dose of glitz in the form of clear crystal embellishment at the neckline. Charlene completed the look with a pair of point-toed ankle booties, tone-matched to her trousers to give an extra lengthening effect to the leg.

Altogether, the style evoked cozy vibes, perfect for the season, which still bringing a touch of the princess's signature sophistication—a great option to copy for everything from casual holiday get-togethers to family Christmas celebrations.
