Blouse season is officially in full swing – perfect for layering as the cooler months set in.
And this year, one style reigns supreme: the pussybow blouse, a timeless favourite championed by the Princess of Wales.
Kate Middleton is something of a veteran when it comes to this classic silhouette, with several chic variations already gracing her wardrobe.
The pussybow’s story begins in 19th-century France, where its predecessor – the lavallière – became the accessory of choice among educated, politically engaged women.
Decades later, Coco Chanel fell in love with the look, incorporating it into her designs and propelling it into the fashion spotlight.
It’s easy to see why Kate continues to favour this refined style for official engagements. She often pairs her blouses with tailored trousers or sleek suits, striking the perfect balance between feminine elegance and modern professionalism.
Most recently, as she welcomed Jordan’s Crown Prince Hussein and Princess Rajwa to Windsor Castle, the Princess showcased a new Burberry pussybow blouse beneath a Roland Mouret suit.
With its versatile ivory hue and timeless appeal, Kate’s bespoke blouse is a wardrobe investment that transitions seamlessly from day to night, season to season.
