She teamed the piece with khaki Paige jeans and a pair of Toms espadrilles, creating an effortlessly chic countryside look.The Duchess has long been a fan of Penelope Chilvers, regularly turning to the brand for both clothing and footwear, and her latest floral blouse is another winning addition to her collection.Featuring an indigo blue and yellow vintage-inspired print, the Monday blouse combines romantic detailing with everyday wearability. Short puff sleeves and delicate ruffle trims add a feminine touch, while the versatile colour palette makes it easy to style throughout the season.Although Sophie opted to dress it down with utility-style trousers, the blouse would look equally stylish paired with denim, tailored shorts or a flowing skirt, making it a worthwhile summer investment.I also couldn't help but notice Sophie's new espadrilles from Toms. The Valencia style features a soft denim blue textile upper and a flat platform sole, offering both comfort and style in equal measure.Ideal for everything from weekend strolls to summer garden parties, you'll find yourself reaching for them all season long.Recreate the lookBlousesEspadrilles
