Prince Charles: The Prince of Fashion

The opening party of London Collections: Men is being thrown by the Prince of Wales. His involvement is a major coup for the British Fashion Council

 £En route to an architectural site in Auckengill last summer, Charles was kitted out in full Duke of Rothesay finery, in a kilt, jacket and waistcoat by Kinloch Anderson.

 Right in step: Charles last month at a Highgrove; Lobb shoes, Benson & Clegg tie, Turnbull & Asser shirt, Anderson & Sheppard suit

 Purists maintain that wearing a double-breasted jacket unbuttoned is beyond the pale, but Prince Charles often favours the look. The suit and shirt hail from Turnbull & Asser, the tie is from Benson & Clegg and the shades are by Giorgio Armani. Parasol: unknown. Taken November 2010, in Jodphur, India

 The Prince slipped off his Panama (Lock & Co) and unbuttoned his Turnbull & Asser jacket to cut a celebratory rug during a visit to the Amazon rainforest in central Brazil during 2009. Shirt and trousers by Turnbull & Asser and Anderson & Sheppard respectively
