This £50 Next jacket is just like Kate Middleton’s blue Wimbledon suit

Kate Middleton attended Wimbledon day four in a bold blue Gabriela Hearst suit. Layered over a ribbed white T-shirt and complemented by chocolate brown shoes, it offered a breezy, relaxed look for the July heat.

Kate is patron of the All England Club and a long-time attendee of the tournament, and this week marks the first time she has attended early rounds of the tournament since her cancer diagnosis. Sporting the bright blue tailoring, she was seen watching matches seated by Tim ‌Henman and greeting fans who were queuing for tickets.

Widely considered to be a style icon of the stands, Kate often leans into colour with her outfits, from polka dots to bright yellow, pastel pink and a strong purple hues, and this look is no different.

If you're looking for similar jackets on the high street, we’ve found some great options, many of which are on sale, from an Asos co-ord to a £50 linen-blend jacket from Next.
