ResizePrincess Kate has mastered a perfect summer wardrobe that is the embodiment of effortless chic, and one summer dress has perhaps left a mark on us all.
Tory Burch floral midi dress she wore to visit the Caribbean on a 2022 Royal Tour.
Visiting Hopkins, a coastal village in Belize, the Princess of Wales wore a blue, red, and white smocked dress which instantly served for dreamy holiday vibes.
Although the original designer dress was quickly sold out around the globe, we’ve rounded up the best lookalikes from the high-street to allow you to recreate this statement style for less.
The Royal Outfit: Tory Burch paired with high-street accessories
The original Tory Burch design came complete with a flattering square neck, a smocked bodice, short puff sleeves and a tiered midi skirt.
The princess accessorised perfectly
Footwear: Suede wedge espadrilles (these particular pair were neutral) in Stuart Weitzman footwear.
Jewelry: Beaded statement drop earrings from Parisian brand Szane in ‘Charlie’.
Handbag: A woven straw clutch (These are sold in different styles under Anya Hindmarch) fan-shaped clutch.
This fit-and-flare dress style is a flattering number for all body types and would suit summer weddings, garden parties and holiday wear perfectly.
