High-street tailor Hawes and Curtis have been granted four Royal warrants between 1922 and 1957 and have styled several notable clients including Queen Elizabeth II. They've recently launched a new autumn and winter collection, and we've discovered the perfect blouse.
The Duchess of Cambridge is well-known for her stylish shirts, having worn numerous designs and colours over the years. From deep purple to soft pink and most recently a delightful polka dot burgundy option, Kate has a variety of tailored choices in her wardrobe.
Hawes and Curtis' Black Semi Fitted Boutique Shirt with a Pearl Embellished Front caught our attention as it's versatile enough to be worn repeatedly after the festive celebrations. It's simple enough for office attire, but the lovely pearl detailing along the front adds a special touch.
