The wife of Prince William, the Duchess of Cambridge… She’s a lady of many titles. But there’s one title that Kate Middleton has well and truly earned, and that is the Queen of style! Flirty and feminine whilst maintaining class and poise; we love the way Kate styles casual and formal outfits to suit all occasions. From sleek blow-dry’s to chic court heels, Kate’s got her iconic style down to a tee. Master yours too by stealing her tips...

For an outfit fit for a queen (or Princess!), copy Kate’s navy nautical style. Let start with the key piece to Kate’s sophisticated look – the blazer. Who said blazers were only for the office? A smart blazer is a wardrobe essential and is the perfect go-to jacket for a smart/casual ensemble. Never be afraid to wear one for the fear of looking too formal – modern tailoring is always on-trend!

What’s a nautical look without a stripe? As far as basics go – there’s no wardrobe classic quite like the Breton stripe shirt. Stripes are one pattern that will never go out of style; wear them throughout summer, into autumn, you can layer them up in winter, and come spring you’ll be wearing them still! This simple design is the easiest way of adding a touch of Parisian chic to any outfit! We’ve got plenty of stripes in store for you this season – whether you fancy a striped top, dress, jumper or blazer, Bonmarché have got the stripes in stock!

The nautical look wouldn’t be complete without a pair of Slim Leg Denim Jeans. Opt for a navy blue shade to compliment your stripes. Flattering for all figures in soft, stretch denim, these ladies jeans sit on the waist for a comfortable fit. Priced at only £18 and available in 3 leg lengths, these Jeans are a modern-day must-have!

Easy, fashionable and elegant; that’s why we love Kate’s nautical look! We’ve got plenty of options available for you this season. Take a look and shop the stripes below:
