Sun's out, summer styling is on - and Duchess Sophie's comfy espadrilles and striped dress is the combination worth copying

Sophie, Duchess of Edinburgh smiles, with sunglasses on her head, as she visits the Groundswell Regenerative Agriculture Festival at Lannock Farm, Weston on July 3, 2025.

The sunshine is making it feel like we’ve bypassed spring and gone straight to summer and that means getting to enjoy a style switch-up. The Duchess of Edinburgh has a noticeable fashion formula for warm weather and her most-worn shoes are espadrilles.

Paired with a midi dress and you’ve got yourself an incredibly comfortable yet chic look - and Sophie’s striped frock and tie-up wedges are the epitome of this. She wore them to the Groundswell Regenerative Agricultural Festival at Lannock Farm last July and with a look this timeless, it would be a shock if she didn’t bring them back in 2026.
