Marks and Spencer is selling a £42 blazer that closely mirrors the look of a summer jacket worn by Duchess Sophie, offering shoppers an affordable way to recreate the royal's smart-casual outfit.
The Single Breasted Blazer with Linen features a soft beige colouring and relaxed tailored fit, similar to the jacket Sophie wore during the Commonwealth Games in Scotland earlier this summer. The royal, 61, paired the lightweight neutral blazer with a crisp white shirt and jeans.
Lightweight design for British weather
Unlike a heavy structured blazer, this M&S version is made from a lyocell-rich fabric with a touch of linen, keeping it comfortable as temperatures rise. It comes in a regular fit with a classic single-breasted silhouette, two contrasting buttons, front welt pockets and a back vent for easier movement.
The gently relaxed shape means it can be layered over a shirt or T-shirt without looking overly corporate. The understated sand tone is neutral enough to work with white, navy, denim, black and chocolate brown.
Sizing and alternatives
M&S offers the blazer in sizes six through to 22, giving shoppers a wider range than many premium tailoring brands. For those seeking more structure, a Cream Boyfriend Blazer from Nobody's Child is currently reduced from £149 to £45, while a Single Breasted Blazer Jacket from New Look costs £39.99 and comes in a camel shade with a lined finish.
