No-one does timeless styling quite like Carole Middleton. The Princess of Wales’s mother might not be royal herself, but she’s the queen of understated, elegant outfits that wouldn’t look out of place for an official engagement. Even so, her fashion tends to be slightly more wearable day-to-day than her working royal daughter, and as she turns 71 on 31st January I couldn’t help wondering what Carole might reach for as a birthday look.
One of her only public appearances last year was at the Turn The Tables event in aid of Cancer Research UK and this checked jacket is something that would work perfectly for a birthday lunch or low-key party. Like Kate, Carole often champions the best British clothing brands and this occasion was no different, as the jacket was from LK Bennett.
