The Duchess of Edinburgh has so many jackets and coats to choose from that we know she really loves something when it becomes a go-to. This is what’s happened with her chocolate brown Gabriela Hearst blazer and as we start to re-assess our spring capsule wardrobes, I can’t help feeling she’s on to something with this staple.
After all, a denim jacket or trench coat isn’t going to suit every outfit and a blazer works wonderfully with both flowy dresses and skirts and jeans or trousers. Duchess Sophie’s choice of a brown blazer is particularly clever as she’s been pairing it with wintery tones like burgundy but it would also work with lighter spring/summer fashion colour trends like blush pink.
