The Princess of Wales’s summer wardrobe typically consists of her Alessandra Rich polka-dot dresses, Erdem florals and her go-to Castañer espadrilles. For her latest appearance at RHS’s Wellbeing Garden at Colchester Hospital, though, Kate opted for another seasonal classic: a striped shirt.

Making the case for double stripes, Kate teamed her beige and white shirt with her pinstriped blazer from Blazé Milano, which she has been worn several times in the past, and a pair of brown trousers. In many ways, it’s an archetypal look for the royal, who has been favouring sharp tailoring for official visits in recent years.

Of course, the striped shirt happens to also be a fashion editor favourite, with a number of Vogue staffers living in the staple in recent months – usually paired with jeans and ballet flats. “It takes the stress out of having to pick what to wear,” audience growth manager Ellie Davies previously explained. “It’s the ultimate throw-on-and-go office attire,” commerce producer Mia Portet added.

Kate was likely thinking the same thing when she got dressed this morning. Royals – they’re just like us (in some ways, at least).
