File this one under genius fashion tricks you've learned from a royal. Queen Letizia of Spain showed you how to expertly create an optical illusion with the help of two key pieces.

You might be confused, but we ask you to look closer at these photos of Queen Letizia at the Agriculture International Fair in Don Benito, Spain. What looks like one simple colorblock jacket draped over the queen's shoulders was actually two layered tops. Under her beige and black coat, Letizia wore one of her favorite black capes! Yes, that's why she can't slip her arms through her jacket sleeves — the cape prevented her from doing so — but the savvy monarch didn't sweat it, instead making her look even edgier by piling on the outerwear. Scroll ahead to check out more photos of her outfit and to find a few links that will get you her coats.
