In the final of Wimbledon on Sunday burned the chats of Whatsapp in Spain come to forward memes about how good Brad Pitt is at 60 tacos. However, the international public also noticed the unparalleled appeal of our King Philip, to whose imposing physical presence we are here quite accustomed, comparing him with the rest of monarchs (and almost all men in general) of Old Europe.

We walk all day putting green to King Juan Carlos and we must recognize that if something he did well was to leave us in inheritance to his son Felipe VI El Prepara.

Tall, handsome, smart, polite, polyglot, good people... I say that without being a monarchist, eh. Nor Republican, there I find myself in limbo ... but it is true that I can think of no better head of state than he. The funny thing is that the expert in men's fashion Derek Guy, who writes in the Financial Times, the Washington Post and the Bof (Business of Fashion) celebrated on Twitter the impeccable clothing of the Bourbon, which gave for a long thread that ended up being a doctoral thesis at the same time as a truncating debate.

Derek Guy praised King Felipe VI stating that it was strange to see a level of tailoring like his "even in a rich man". Then he decided to list his successes when he goes in a suit: "1) He wears the collar of the shirt correctly adjusted 2) The clothes hang cleanly, they do not tighten anywhere 3) The lapels look proportionate, halfway from the neck to the shoulder bone (...)". Then he continued with an extensive digital master class on men's clothing attaching photos of the King in different official acts (when he goes sports he does not hit so much, ahem). "Their jackets and trousers are also balanced, the lines flowing (...)."

He even dared to compare him with another good guy like Daniel Craig, to whom he said that his suits are always small "like so many stars". This was the same Monday, but on Thursday Derek Guy revealed that the son of the tailor Jaime Gallo had written to tell him that his father was the architect of the royal closet. " A man emailed me to tell me that Gallo had been Felipe's tailor since he was 11 years old. Sadly, he passed away in 2015. I'm not pessimistic, but it's undeniable that this level of tailoring has become increasingly rare. What a beautiful thing to have the same tailor for 44 years."

There were those who opposed Mr. Guy, but I will not be the one to do it. That the King has an unbeatable image beyond borders is something objective.
