Is there any woman’s style as universally lauded as Kate Middleton’s? Throughout more than two decades in the limelight she’s rarely put a foot wrong sartorially, whether she’s opting for a stunning designer gown for a state dinner or nailing everyday style in a high-street find.
We’ve recently seen the Princess of Wales in a chic green co-ord from Emilia Wickstead for Wimbledon and, perfect for the French reception, a pink blazer and tulle skirt set with matching hat from Dior. But there’s another (much cheaper) item from Kate’s wardrobe we’re lusting after this summer: her beloved strawberry-red gingham blouse.
Gingham is to this summer what leopard print was to last – the trend every influencer must be snapped in. And Kate’s top is the perfect take on the trend: a standout peony print with a pretty frilled collar and turned-up sleeves, perfect for summer.
Kate’s exact blouse comes from British brand Brora, known for championing the highest-quality materials from Scotland. This pretty top is no exception, made from 100% breathable cotton (your armpits will be thanking you during the commute) and yet still machine washable. Result!
The Princess-approved style has just been restocked (it inevitably sold out the instant Kate wore it) and is now available in size 6 to 18. It’s on the pricier side at £129 – but for a timeless style and crafted from quality materials, it’s an investment piece we wholeheartedly recommend.
If you are looking for a cheaper take on the gingham blouse trend, we’ve selected a few other cutesy and wearable styles below. Pair your pick with blue or white jorts or jeans and you’ve got an instantly chic summer outfit. You’re welcome!
