Carole Middleton wore an elegant white tie front jacket for a special evening out back in 2011 long before they became a trend.

This is true of collarless jackets which the Princess of Wales’ mum has loved for years as well as her tie front jacket from back in 2011. Tie front pieces surged in popularity last year and although they can be daunting with their skin-bearing design, this doesn’t have to be the case, especially if you go for a jacket, cardigan or waistcoat that you can layer a top under.
