Meghan Markle criticised for ‘breaking’ Wimbledon dress code - here’s why she didn’t - Yahoo News

The Duchess of Sussex attended day four of Wimbledon 2019 on Thursday in a smart-casual ensemble.

Meghan, 37, supported her friend Serena Williams as she played against Kaja Juvan in the second round match.

The new mum wore a striped L'Agence blazer with a simple black T-shirt and blue jeans, but social media users were questioning whether she is allowed to wear denim at the tennis tournament.

@BBCSport @Wimbledon so, gentleman have to wear jackets and ties in the royal box and Meghan rocks up in jeans. What's that all about???

@Wimbledon sorry for the post but I have to ask why Meghan Markle was allowed into the royal box in "JEANS" when other people have been refused just for not wearing a tie???? Double standards

Nice to see Meghan out today supporting her good friend! Are jeans and hats allowed sitting court side at Wimbledon? Dress code? I like Meghan's look today but a bit too casual for Wimbledon.

Firstly, Meghan wasn't sitting in the Royal Box as Serena's match took place on court one, not centre court where the royals usually sit.

She sat among the crowd with two of her university friends Lyndsay Roth and Genevieve Hillis.

Secondly, there is no official dress code for Wimbledon. Unlike Ascot, the rules for spectators are relaxed, unless you're lucky enough to to be in the Royal Box.

Wimbledon's website states that the protocol for the Royal Box is "dress is smart, suits/jacket and tie, etc. Ladies are asked not to wear hats, as they tend to obscure the vision of those seated behind them."

That's why when Meghan attended with her sister-in-law Kate last year, she wasn't able to wear her hat on her head.

The Duchess of Cambridge surprised fans on Tuesday by arriving at the tennis tournament early to watch a match between British player Harriet Dart and American Christina McHale in the 'normal seats' on court 14.

She later made her way to centre court for Roger Federer and Lloyd Harris' match.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex's son Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor will be christened in a Private Chapel at Windsor Castle on Saturday 6 July.

While the couple will release official photos, the names of the baby's godparents will not be revealed.

Serena Williams was highly tipped to be Archie's godmother but she said she isn't going to the christening, due to work commitments.

Jnco Is Attempting A Comeback — With Jeans That Cost Up To $250 - HuffPost

Well, this will severely cut into your glow stick budget.

JNCO — the brand most commonly linked to the late-'90s fashion trend of extremely wide-legged jeans beloved by ravers, skaters and eventually, Juggalos — is attempting a comeback.

And if you pine for the days when your pant legs had such a large circumference that you appeared to be wearing a prairie skirt from afar, be forewarned that a single pair will cost you a whole lot of money. And no, we're not just jerking your wallet chain.

Last week, JNCO relaunched with eight styles that cost $130 to $250. And while the prices may make you want to clutch your candy necklace, there is a method behind this madness.

Milo Revah, who founded JNCO with his brother Jacques Yaakov Revah in 1985, released the brand's licensing to the Chinese company Guotai Litian Group in 2014, according to Racked. Mixmag, a British electronic dance and clubbing magazine that wrote a feature about JNCO's recent relaunch, reports that when Guotai Litian Group acquired the license, the quality of the pants went down.

Consumers apparently noticed the difference, and vintage JNCOS became a "hot commodity." While the original jeans cost somewhere between $65 to $75, according to a 1997 catalog listing Jezebel dug up, people started selling them on eBay for "hundreds of dollars."

A 2015 BuzzFeed article found several pairs of JNCO pants being sold on eBay for $100 to $240, so there is some support for this claim.

If you check eBay now for JNCO jeans, prices vary. Some pairs are as inexpensive as $35, though it's unclear if the jeans were manufactured before or after 2014.

When The Cut was trying to wrap its mind around the concept of low-rise jeans coming back in fashion in 2018, trend forecasters and fashion insiders told the site that Gen-Zers are trying "to capture the trashy Y2K mood." They claimed these young fashion consumers were trying to be ironic and pointed to Instagram accounts such as @y2ktrashy or @paris2000s, which have tens of thousands of followers, as evidence.

So, there you have it: JNCO jeans are back, they're pricy as hell, and sellers seem to think they can get away with it.

Now excuse us while we dig through our childhood closets and open up a few eBay stores.
