Duchess Sophie’s chocolate brown roll-neck jumper and burgundy velvet skirt is just what we want to be wearing this festive season.
At this time of year we love embracing all the sparkles and velvet with our Christmas party outfits, but when the festive period itself arrives often all we want to be wearing is something cosy. That doesn’t mean we don’t want to still feel elegant and put-together and this balance isn’t always easy. Thankfully, we can always rely on the royals for smart-casual style inspiration and Duchess Sophie didn’t let us down with her look for a visit to her patronage Disability Initiative’s resource centre. It’s in Camberley, close by to where Duchess Sophie and Prince Edward live at Bagshot Park, and the senior royal threw herself into many activities there, including carolling, painting and making mince pies.
