Always elegant, ever put together, Catherine, Princess of Wales has long been one of my go-to references for sophisticated style. This week, whilst attending the Wimbledon Tennis Championships, she stepped out in a summer colour combination that I haven’t stopped thinking about it since.

Forgoing the predictable pairing of black and white, nor the summer’s go-to butter yellow, Kate instead chose a refined combination of pale blue and deep chocolate brown. The fresh blue hue brought a light, summery feel to her look, whilst the deep brown accessories grounded the outfit, adding depth without the starkness that black can sometimes create against softer shades.

Layered over a white top and finished with tonal emerald earrings, Kate swept her hair back into a sleek ponytail, completing the look with the effortless polish that has become her signature.
