The royals are experts when it comes to elegant summer dressing, and when it comes to warmer season outfits, royal ladies have long shown that there’s no better option to reach for than an LWD – little white dress. We’ve seen fresh and beautiful looks from Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton of course, but one frock that stands out in our mind for the ultimate summer royal style is the white lace creation by Zimmermann that Sophie Wessex wore to the Chelsea Flower Show.

Countess Sophie made a summer statement in a Zimmermann dress
If you’re looking to get inspired by Countess Sophie, one summer LWD that’s giving us a similar carefree vibe is the broderie lace midi dress from River Island. The puff sleeves, tiered skirt and embroidered details on the yoke definitely give it that effortless garden or countryside feel. Teamed with clogs or wedges, its so effortless it could take you just about anywhere in style.
