Duchess Sophie wore a heritage-check ensemble by Gabriela Hearst during her official visit to Finland, and high-street retailers are offering similar styles at a fraction of the cost.
The Duchess of Edinburgh, 61, paired a jacket and skirt from the luxury label, an outfit worth thousands, as part of a look that reflects the season's growing trend for traditional country checks. Heritage dressing is proving popular this winter, with similar styles seen on Princess Catherine and Zara Tindall.
High-Street Alternatives to Designer Looks
Dorothy Perkins offers an Open Collar Double Breasted Blazer in a textured herringbone fabric with structured shoulders and tortoiseshell-effect buttons. Available in UK sizes 8 to 18, it is reduced from £59 to £47.20, and the code FASHION brings the price down to £42.48.
Mango's Check Print Jacket features a tobacco-brown check with sharp lapels and a double-breasted fastening. Priced at £99.99 and available in sizes XS to XL, the retailer suggests sizing down for a more tailored fit.
A Contemporary Take on Country Style
Nobody's Child sells a Heritage Check Faux Fur Collar Bomber Jacket with a detachable faux-fur collar, mock-horn buttons and an elasticated hem. It is reduced by 30% from £185 to £129.50, with the code EXTRA20 advertised for a further discount.
These pieces offer shoppers the chance to channel Duchess Sophie's country-chic aesthetic without the designer price tag, refreshing a winter wardrobe with a royal-approved look.
