We're a big fan of the Princess of Wales' classic and wearable outfits, and her fondness for high street brands (which means we can buy them too!).

On a recent visit to Mull, Scotland – an outing that also happened to mark her and Prince William’s 14th wedding anniversary – Kate's style choices didn’t disappoint. She wore a blue cuffed linen shirt from one of her favourite affordable brands. Kate's linen shirt is from Boden and retails at £98, but using the code PQ4D, you can snap it up with 15% off for £83.30. It's currently available in sizes 6-22, but be quick, as it’s likely to sell out fast.

The Princess of Wales paired her blue shirt with a herringbone Holland Cooper jacket, Massimo Dutti skinny trousers and her faithful See By Chloé boots.

We are seeing blue shirts everywhere on the high street at the moment, and now they have the royal nod of approval.

While you may think they have a slight men’s office shirting vibe, the women’s version feels stylish and versatile, adding a modern twist to spring and summer outfits. If you’re usually into more monochrome or neutrals, this shift to blue, say in a dusky shade, could be the lift your wardrobe needs. Meghan Markle is also a fan of the blue shirt, and often wore her J.Crew Garçon classic shirt on her somewhat divisive TV show, With Love Meghan, wearing it more casually than the Pincess of Wales with rolled up sleeves, an unbottoned neckline and worn untucked with a pair of jeans.

If you fancy snapping up a blue shirt for yourself, try these styling suggestions inspired by the Princess of Wales and Meghan. 

Tucked into skinny jeans 

The perfect everyday, errand-running outfit, with a preppy twist. Wear the shirt buttoned up and finish the look with chunky flat sandals for a comfy and chic vibe.

Half buttoned over a white t-shirt 

Layers are the ideal choice for the British weather, and this look is practical and stylish. Button up if it gets chilly, or wear undone if the sun comes out. This looks great with wide-tailored trousers or denim shorts.

Open over a sleeveless dress

Day to night dressing has never been easier with this ensemble. The shirt acts as an ideal cover-up and can be slipped off as and when you feel confident. Team with dressy flats.
