Duchess Sophie's sweater vest and Burberry bag combination is on-trend 24 years later

Duchess Sophie's sweater vest and Burberry bag.

A series of photographs of Sophie the Duchess of Edinburgh taken back in 2000 show her wearing an outfit consisting of a cosy white sweater vest and a timeless Burberry handbag - and it's a look that wouldn't look out of place in 2024. 

When it comes to building a capsule wardrobe, it can sometimes feel hard to distinguish between fashion fads that will soon go out of style rotation and pieces that will stand the test of time. But these old school snaps of Duchess Sophie appear to prove the theory that trends always come back eventually - with her year 2000 styling of a sleeveless, high-neck knit with a Burberry handbag not looking worlds away from something we'd wear this year.
