The Princess of Wales has been making the most of the opportunity to dress more summery whilst she's in Italy and seeing her pleated skirt and flats has made me long for sunnier days at home too. She's in Reggio Emilia to learn more about the city's approach to early years development and after dazzling in an azure blue suit on Day 1, she wore something more relaxed on Day 2.
Instead of heels, Kate stepped out in her Camilla Elphick Alicia shoes which she's worn to watch polo before. They have a faux pearl button on the slingback strap, a pointed toe and a two-tone black and beige design. Flats like these are a smarter alternative to white trainers or sandals when you want to be comfortable but not overly formal.
