Princess Catherine's go-to blouse feels perfectly timed for the spring season and is quickly becoming a warm-weather staple worth knowing about. The Princess of Wales, 44, has long been a fan of Brora’s gingham Chelsea collar blouse, a piece that has returned year after year thanks to its popularity..
The £129 design has sold out at speed before, and it’s easy to see why. Light, feminine and effortlessly wearable, it taps perfectly into that easy, throw-on styling that works from morning to evening. The blouse is currently available in sizes eight to 18, with size six already out of stock - a sign that demand is building once again as temperatures rise.
And this time around, there’s a fresh twist. Alongside the much-loved pink version, Brora has introduced a striking green colourway.
A shade that feels particularly timely given how dominant green has become across the high street this season. From soft sage tones to deeper nettle hues, it’s a colour that’s everywhere right now, and this take feels like an easy way to tap into the trend.
The design itself hasn’t lost any of its appeal. Crafted from breathable cotton, it’s the kind of piece that works just as well styled casually as it does dressed up. The flattering V-neckline is framed by Brora’s signature Chelsea collar, finished with delicate frill edging that adds just enough detail without feeling overdone.
Short sleeves make it ideal for those warmer spring days, while the relaxed shape keeps it easy to wear. Whether you tuck it into jeans for a laid-back look or pair it with tailored trousers for something more put-together.
It’s also worth noting the subtle design details that make a difference. A neat button fastening runs down the front, while split side seams at the hem give it a softer, more fluid silhouette that moves with you rather than feeling structured or restrictive.
Unsurprisingly, shoppers have been quick to praise it. One customer said, “I love the Cotton Gingham Chelsea Collar Blouse, I own two! Beautiful design and colour, great quality fabric and sewing work. It’s not too long or too short, you can tuck it in or leave it out. V-cut is not too low; it’s just right. Perfect for spring and summer!”
While another added: “Both pretty and smart. Beautifully made and comfortable to wear. So versatile that I have bought another one in blue!"
