Once again, The Duchess of Cambridge has worn something we and many others, are desperate to get their hands on. Best of all? It’s affordable too.
On her latest virtual engagement, Kate Middleton chose to wear a pussy-bow blouse by Boden, one of her favourite and most affordable labels.
Kate’s Dora Tie Neck Blouse is priced at just £80, and comes in three gorgeous colours. Naturally the blouse has already sold out - but you can still get your hands on the blue, floral paisley and green print.
For International Women’s Day, Kate made a call to Jasmine Harrison - who has just become the youngest woman to row solo across the Atlantic. And the Duchess wanted to congratulate her achievement.
The lightweight blouse is oh so flattering on Kate. We love the semi-fitted shape, and natural drape of the fabric.
The shoulders are gently shaped and the sleeves are slightly nipped in at the wrist for an airy feel.
Boden describes the Dora blouse as ‘sophisticated’ thanks to the keyhole opening and fabric-covered buttons at the cuffs.
For a statement finish, there's an attached neck tie in matching material, which you can do up neatly in a bow, just like Kate, or leave loose and relaxed.
What we love about this blouse is it’s so easy to dress up or down - team with boyfriend fit jeans or a skirt. So versatile, it’s the perfect spring addition to your wardrobe.
The Duchess wore a pair of Missoma earrings to accessorise her look. These Rhodochrosite gold pyramid charm hoop earrings will set you back £85 - not a bad price for Royal approved jewellery.
Now seeing as the Dora neck tie blouse has sold out, we’ve found some alternatives from the high street that we also think Kate would approve of.
Starting with the New Look Port Boutique pink satin leaf bow blouse. Priced at £29.99, it has a tie neck just like the Boden one, and would look equally gorgeous with skinny jeans and a block heel.
Or how about this Max Studio tie neck polka dot blouse for £60 at John Lewis. Airy and effortless, this blouse from Max Studio has a relaxed pleated silhouette with vintage-inspired fluted cuffs and an elegant tie neckline. In a timeless polka dot print, this style is sure to instil an air of femininity into your wardrobe.
We can’t get enough of this snake printed tie neck blouse from Forever Unique. Priced at £65, with soft pink tones, silky touch and balloon sleeves, you can count on this pink snake print tie-neck blouse to leave you feeling flirty and ultra-feminine. Ruched shoulders and tie-neck detail add an extra elegant element to this stunning blouse. Wear with black skinnies and a killer heel for subtly sexy date night glam.
