Duchess Sophie flies the flag for moody florals as a striking alternative to spring pastels

Sophie, Duchess of Edinburgh, wearing a dark floral dress, attends a church service for the Victoria Cross and George Cross Association.

Floral prints feature in so many of my spring outfit ideas, but although I’m usually drawn to pastel tones, this might be about to change. The Duchess of Edinburgh went bold on 30th April with a navy dress covered with vibrant floral detailing and I have to admit it’s inspired me.

She showed that darker floral dresses are just as beautiful and can even be more striking. As a champion of some of the best British clothing brands, I wasn’t surprised to see her step out in the London sunshine wearing a piece from one of her favourites - Beulah London.
