Royal Summer Outfit Inspiration – Kate Middleton, Meghan Markle Warm Weather Looks

A polka dot dress like this elegant one the Princess of Wales wore a couple of summers ago has summer written all over it. And besides, statement spots are in again this season, haven’t you heard?

If you happen to have some parties coming up, take a page out of Meghan’s fashion playbook and opt for a swingy neural dress that can transition from day to night with a few accessory swaps. This halterneck style with a cut-out detail is perfect for this time of year.

There is no such thing as having too many floral dresses in your summer wardrobe. Sorry, we don’t make the rules. Make sure to check out Me+Em’s selection—the royal-loved brand counts Sophie, Duchess of Edinburgh, Zara Tindall, and Kate as fans.

No summer wardrobe is complete without some stripey staples. Follow Princess Beatrice’s lead at Wimbledon and wear the classic print as a matching set. You can even mix and match the top and bottom for even more variety.

You can’t go wrong with a white cotton dress. You can dress it casually during the day, or dress it up as Princess Beatrice did with heels and a statement purse.

When it comes to accessories, make sure to have a raffia bag or two in rotation. This mini version that Princess Beatrice previously carried is perfect for date night, fancy affairs, and more.

ICYMI, Bermuda shorts are having a huge moment this summer. We love how Kate previously styled her long white pair with a nautical striped sweater and classic white sneakers. Summer perfection.

Summer is too short to stick with basic sunglasses. Throw on a fun blue tortoiseshell pair like Queen Camilla did earlier this summer.

An airy, linen dress—like this Reformation number the Duchess of Sussex wore back in October 2018—will quickly become your go-to during the dog days of summer.

Another example of a perfect floral dress: this bold one that was rumored to be Princess Diana’s favorite. Vibrant flowers are the name of the game if you’re looking to brighen up your wardrobe.
