Zara Tindall stepped out at British Champions Day last week wearing a chocolate-brown skirt that costs just £75, proving that royal-style dressing does not have to be expensive. The 45-year-old paired the affordable midi with a tailored tweed blazer, knee-high suede boots and a coordinating Fairfax & Favor handbag at Ascot.
The Exact Skirt from House of Bruar
Shoppers can buy the same skirt from Scottish countrywear label House of Bruar, a brand also worn by Princess Catherine and Zara's mother, Princess Anne, for under £80. The skirt is made from premium faux leather in a rich chocolate-brown shade and features an A-line silhouette, a structured waistband and panelled detailing.
The design includes a discreet side zip and two in-seam pockets. It is currently available in sizes 10, 14, 16, 18 and 20, while size 12 can be pre-ordered with an estimated delivery time of one to two months.
Fabric and Care Details
Made from 100% polyurethane, the leather-look fabric offers a sleek appearance without the maintenance of genuine leather and can be machine washed at 30 degrees. The skirt also comes in a burgundy colourway, a shade recently worn by Meghan Markle.
Its midi length and gently flared hem make it easy to style for the races, a countryside escape or Sunday lunch. At £75, it offers the chance to own the same wardrobe staple as a member of the Royal Family.
