A timeless trench coat, flattering jeans and a crisp button-down shirt are the building blocks of any great wardrobe.
As we transition into spring, it’s worth investing in versatile staples that can be mixed and matched with ease – pieces that not only create multiple outfits, but also stand up to unpredictable weather.
For inspiration, look no further than the Princess of Wales. During a visit to Castle Hill Academy in New Addington, Croydon, Kate showcased the perfect blue shirt – a polished yet effortless choice for the season ahead.
She opted for an oversized silhouette from WNU (With Nothing Underneath), a brand also loved by her sister-in-law, Meghan Markle.
The label’s Boyfriend blouse is celebrated for its breezy shape and menswear-inspired detailing, fastening left over right in classic tailoring tradition.
It pairs seamlessly with everything from tailored shorts to a flowing midi skirt, making it a year-round staple.
Kate is clearly a fan of the British brand, having worn the same design in white last September.
After visiting WNU’s Belgravia flagship myself, I can attest to its understated, effortless aesthetic.
As founder Pip Durrell – a former Vogue stylist and Tatler editor – explains, the pieces are designed ‘to be worn effortlessly, without thought or anything underneath.’
The timing couldn’t be better, as the brand is also opening a new store in Marylebone this week.
Kate styled her shirt with a recycled chocolate brown blazer from Petar Petrov, cigarette trousers and a striking pair of oxblood brogues by Boden – now, unsurprisingly, sold out.
The good news? Her exact shirt is still available to purchase, and the high street is brimming with similar styles to suit every budget.
