As we head into another weekend of glorious summer sunshine, it’s the perfect excuse to refresh your warm-weather wardrobe with timeless pieces you’ll reach for year after year. If you’re looking for inspiration, few do effortless summer dressing quite like Princess Catherine, whose wardrobe is filled with classic staples that never go out of style.
One of her standout seasonal favourites is Brora’s Cotton Gingham Chelsea Collar Blouse (£129), which has become something of a royal fashion favourite after repeatedly selling out in previous years. The sought-after design has now been restocked, giving shoppers another chance to snap up the Princess-approved style before sizes disappear again.
Currently, the blouse is available in sizes 6 to 18. The Princess of Wales, 44, first wore the pretty blouse in 2022 while baking cupcakes alongside Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis in a heartwarming video shared online.
Made from 100% breathable cotton, the blouse is designed with warm weather in mind. The lightweight fabric, feminine pink gingham print and flattering V-neckline are complemented by Brora’s signature Chelsea collar with delicate frill detailing.
Short sleeves help keep you cool on hot days, while split side seams create a relaxed fit whether tucked into denim shorts, jeans or worn loose with linen trousers. Finished with a button-through front, it’s the sort of versatile staple that works just as well for garden parties and picnics as it does for everyday summer dressing.
Customers have also been full of praise for the design, with one shopper writing: “I love the Cotton Gingham Chelsea Collar Blouse, I own two! Beautiful design and colour, great-quality fabric and sewing. It’s not too long or too short, you can tuck it in or leave it out. V-cut is not too low; it’s just right. Perfect for spring and summer!”
Another agreed, saying: “Both pretty and smart. Beautifully made and comfortable to wear. So versatile that I have bought another one in blue!”
