Kate looks perfect in paisley – how to get the look

02 December 2021

The Duchess of Cambridge paid a solo visit to the Victoria and Albert Museum and was impressively on-trend with her outfit.

Attending the recently-opened Faberge in London: Romance to Revolution exhibition, Kate wore a navy and red paisley blouse – the retro print is hugely fashionable right now.

Teaming the statement shirt with high-waisted black trousers, the mum-of-three accessorised her outfit with a pair of simple gold hoop earrings. Her hair was pulled back into a ponytail and she kept her black face mask on for the duration of the visit.

Part of this season’s massive Seventies revival, paisley – the print characterised by ornate teardrop shaped motifs – has proved popular with models and Instagram style stars recently.

Kate’s Ralph Lauren Paisley Georgette Tie-Neck Shirt, £139, is still available in some sizes, but you don’t have to pay a designer price tag to get the paisley look.

And a beautiful blouse like this couldn’t be easier to style. Follow Kate’s lead by wearing yours with fluid black trousers, or for a more casual look, pair with Seventies-style flared jeans.
