Summer officially starts on Saturday, which means there’s lots more of the great outdoors on the horizon. Whether you’re traveling by land or sea, trade in breton stripes for a more polished sailor-inspired look with brass buttons like Kate Middleton. The Duchess was spotted yesterday on an official visit to Bletchley Park in an Alexander McQueen top and skirt. The trick to her style? A blouse with contrasting collar and a tailored kick flare skirt. To simplify this idea try a minimalist white blouse with tonal buttons—it will work just as well with blue or white jeans. An exotic skin clutch is a nice way make this look set sail.
