As the temperatures climb, we may find ourselves reaching for ventilated clothing.
The sort that allows our skin to breathe through the heat, but retains a patina of sartorial know-how while doing so.
There's no finer accomplice in the field of ventilated clothing than the summery staple of Broderie Anglaise, a look which the Duchess of Cambridge recycled with aplomb during her latest Zoom call.
For hers and Prince William's call with those in the UK who have been lending a hand to charity efforts during the pandemic, the mother-of-three reached for her Broderie Anglaise shirt from M.I.H Jeans (it's unfortunately now sold out) which she sported for last year's Chelsea Flower Show.
Indeed, Broderie Anglaise - which is French for 'English embroidery' - is no doubt the airy technique you may want to incorporate into your summer capsule.
Take your style cues from Kate and sweep hair from your face, which will accentuate your pretty earrings. In Kate's case, it was her go-to Accessorize hoops, which are examples of some seriously bargain bling at just £5, shop them here.
