A royal charm, King Felipe of Spain was in the Royal Box at Wimbledon on Sunday when Carlos Alcaraz, a Spanish tennis player, was crowned King of Centre Court after defeating Novak Djokovic in the gentlemen's singles final.

Apart from the game, the internet also observed what the monarch was wearing. A Twitter user dissected the whole look and deemed it as a "very rare" way of tailoring.

But why is it so great? The user explained further that King Felipe consistently looks great, and it seems that all of his suits are cut by the same tailor. One basic point that makes his suits so great is that the collar always hugs the neck.

Some basic points:

1. Collar always hugs the neck
2. No pulling anywhere. Things hang cleanly
3. Lapels end about halfway from collar to shoulder bone (nice proportion) pic.twitter.com/JJcgHLrdHf

There is no pulling (of fabric) anywhere. Things hang cleanly and lapels end about halfway from collar to shoulder bone, which is considered as a nice proportion for a suit jacket.

Adding further, his coat, as observed on other occasions also ends about halfway from the collar to the floor, which is again a very classic and flattering proportion. His sleeves hang very cleanly. His trousers are well-proportioned for his coat.

What sets his style apart from the rest?

The tweet further elaborated that men nowadays wear short, tight coats. The sleeves grasp their arms, they never hang smoothly. When the sleeves grasp your arms in this way, they have a tendency to ride up on your arm. Coats are often too short. On many men, this gives the impression of wide hips.

This contrasts with many stars nowadays, who wear short, tight coats. The sleeves grip their arms, which means they never hang cleanly. When the sleeves grip your arms like this, they are prone to riding up on you. pic.twitter.com/68nV8TNfwE

However, King Felipe's trousers are also well-fitting for his coat. The lines of the coat flow into the lines of the trousers, creating a cohesive ensemble.

King Felipe's shoulder line is also somewhat enlarged, and the chest area is slightly fuller. The upper half of his jacket has a bit of "roundness" to it, giving the impression of a more athletic physique underneath.

The king's shirt collar extends far enough beneath his lapels. This allows the eye to move upwards and focus on the wearer by creating a smooth transition from his shirt to jacket. Many men nowadays wear short shirt collars, which cause a mess under their chin.

Finally, the King wears a four-in-hand. The four-in-hand (or the double four-in-hand) is the only knot you should wear. It is small, tasteful, and doesn't create a meatball sized knot underneath your chin. The asymmetry gives a sense of ease.

Very well done. pic.twitter.com/sj0ic39rSS

Unless you go bespoke, this is nearly impossible to obtain nowadays. However, the gorge¡ªthe technical tailoring word for the seam that connects a coat's collar to its lapel¡ªis positioned such that the notch on the lapel is even with the points on the shirt collar. Very traditional.
