Cast your mind back to last summer, when the Princess of Wales attended Wimbledon in a bold cobalt blue dress by Roksanda. Featuring flattering ruffle detailing on the shoulders and a chic V neckline, it was arguably the perfect dress for soaking up the sunshine at one of the most coveted sporting events in the world.
Of course, Kate's bespoke frock comes with a hefty price tag, and buying the exact style is simply out of the question - it's a custom design. Luckily, there's a high street alternative that captures the same chic charm as Kate's striking blue midi. Better yet, it comes from Boden, which has just launched its long-awaited summer sale. With up to 60% off selected styles, the brand has reduced its swishy Una Dress from £99 to under £40.
Boden Una Ruched Front Ponte Dress Kingfisher Blue
Yes, the long awaited sale from the British brand is finally here, making it the ideal opportunity to snap up a Wimbledon-inspired dress that's right on trend while remaining timeless enough to earn a place in a wardrobe worthy of the Princess of Wales.
Its appeal goes beyond its ability to channel Kate's signature Wimbledon style. As we've come to expect from Boden, it's made from high-quality materials, including LENZING™ ECOVERO™ viscose, which is lightweight and breathable enough to keep you cool during warmer weather. It's also a great choice if you're looking to make more eco conscious sartoiral purchases, as LENZING™ ECOVERO™ fibres are produced using at least 50% lower carbon emissions and water consumption compared to conventional viscose.
Style it with a raffia tote bag and woven sandals for effortless daytime dressing. If you're heading out for dinner - or lucky enough to have secured tickets to Wimbledon - swap the flats for a pair of comfortable leather kitten heels and finish the look with a beige leather handbag.
