Television presenter Cat Deeley has drawn inspiration from the Princess of Wales's iconic winter wardrobe, stepping out in a festive Fair Isle knit that mirrors the royal's signature seasonal style.
A Royal Fashion Moment on This Morning
On Tuesday, 3rd December 2025, the ITV This Morning host presented the show wearing a striking red high-neck jumper from British brand Boden. The look was a clear nod to Kate Middleton, who has frequently been photographed in similar traditional Fair Isle designs over recent winters.
The exact item is the Marion Merino High Neck Jumper in Poppy Red Fair Isle print. Priced at £119, it is currently available with a 15% discount using the code RHDT at checkout, bringing the cost down to £101.15 for a limited time.
The Timeless Appeal of Fair Isle
Boden describes the 100% premium merino wool garment as an "ultra soft" and "brilliant long-term investment" perfect for layering during colder months. Its nostalgic, festive pattern evokes imagery of classic holiday films and cosy winter gatherings.
The Princess of Wales has championed this look on multiple occasions. She has worn a Supersoft Lambswool Fair Isle Yoke Jumper from Brora and has also been seen in a knit from Holland Cooper during public engagements, including her 'Together at Christmas' carol service.
Shopper Reviews and Affordable Alternatives
The Boden jumper has garnered positive feedback from customers. One reviewer praised its fit, stating: "This sweater warms up to the neck, fits perfectly everywhere... The sweater is relatively short, but as a result, it does not stand up on the hip." Another simply called it a "cosy, lovely sweater."
However, some noted the high neckline could be restrictive, with one buyer commenting it went "all the way up to my chin."
For those seeking more affordable options, the high street offers several alternatives. FatFace sells a Red Dog Fairisle Knitted High Neck Jumper for £52, while Marks and Spencer offers a Boucle Fair Isle Relaxed Jumper With Wool for £36.
Cat Deeley's style choice highlights the enduring popularity of Fair Isle knits this season, proving that taking fashion notes from the royals remains a timeless strategy for festive dressing.
