Kate Middleton's exact Boden linen safari shirt is slashed by £15 in rare sale
Kate Middleton recently championed the British high street by stepping out in a linen Boden shirt, and the exact one has been slashed by £15 in a rare offer Kate Middleton has been making more and more appearances over the past few months, and of course, her impeccable style is always at the forefront ( just recently, her My Fair Lady-style polka dress and, of course, her forest green Victoria Beckham suit). On another recent trip to Mull in Scotland, the Princess of Wales opted for a chic countryside look: a blue button-up shirt, tweed blazer (her one is the Double-Breasted Blazer from Holland Cooper), brown skinny trousers, and chunky brown boots. The exact blue shirt Kate appeared to be wearing was Boden's Blue Longline 100% Linen Safari Shirt, priced at £98, and amazingly, it's still in stock in sizes 8-18. And to make it even better, you can currently get 15% off using the code JM7D. That brings the price down by more than £15 to £83.40. Crafted from airy 100% linen, this shirt is ideal for staying cool in the summer while still looking smart and chic. Linen is a fabric that can often look a bit too casual and sometimes unprofessional, but that's not the case with this Boden one. To style this for the warmer months, we suggest swapping out Kate's tweed blazer and dark jeans for something a bit lighter, like a denim midi skirt, poplin maxi skirt, or straight-leg jeans. If you're looking for a floatier, less safari-chic blue linen shirt, Meghan Markle recently wore best-selling Garçon classic shirt in cotton poplin in the simple yet timeless 'Blue Eoe' shade. A great option if you have a bit more budget to spend (although also quite a reasonably-priced buy!). While Gap's Blue 100% Linen Oversized Shirt, available for £75 here, is one of those throw-on staples you'll reach for all summer long. Designed from 100% soft linen, it's breathable, lightweight, and machine washable, making it the ideal piece to roll up in your suitcase. To style this, we suggest keeping it simple with a pair of Ecru-coloured jeans and some on-trend woven ballet flats.

The Princess of Wales opted for a chic countryside look, consisting of a blue button-up shirt, tweed blazer (her exact one is the Double Breasted Blazer from Holland Cooper), brown skinny trousers and chunky brown boots. And if the outfit felt familiar, it might be because Meghan Markle was recently spotted in a similar style blue shirt during her appearance on Prince Harry's Netflix documentary, Heart of Invictus. We don't have the exact details on button-up Kate is wearing (although we think it could be Max Mara's offering), but the exact shirt Meghan opted for was best-selling Garçon classic shirt in cotton poplin in the simple yet timeless 'Blue Eoe' shade. With both women sporting the same piece, it's clear to see that the classic blue shirt is a wardrobe must-have and even has the royal seal of approval.

After 10 Years, My Favorite Chambray Shirt Got an Upgrade
I was wearing a light blue chambray shirt from on the night I first met my wife. It was 2016, and I'd just turned 25. And, having bought the shirt with my first substantial freelance paycheck, I wore it everywhere: to interviews, on road trips and airplanes, on assignments, and, evidently, to dinner parties on the Upper East Side. Amid the squall of untucked gingham shirts and Patagonia vests in style at the time, the textured ruggedness of chambray jumped out at me when I saw this shirt on the rack. It felt like something that belonged in the closet of Indiana Jones or Robert Redford rather than in my own. Something about the irregularity of its yarns and its not-quite-slim fit felt impossibly cool yet unpretentious, at ease without looking careless, elegant yet decidedly not fussy. It was, in short, everything I was not and everything I wanted to be. For nearly 10 years, I wore this shirt, almost to tatters. Over time, the cloth faded to a pale, whitish shade of blue, the fabric at the elbows became almost sheer, and the hems started to unfurl. But I refused to give up on my longtime staple. So I returned to to buy a replacement, and in its place I found something new: a chambray shirt full of small improvements yet still bearing all the charm of the one I had bought in my 20s. A refresh of a longtime staple, this latest version comes with a few thoughtful upgrades and can be worn almost anywhere. While the chambray button-down has been one of longtime staples, chambray itself predates the US as a country. It is one of two cotton fabrics that originated in France before being incorporated into American workwear and military clothing. The other fabric is chambray's doppelgänger, denim. Unlike denim, which is woven in a twill (a fabric defined by its dimensional, diagonal ridges), chambray is a plain weave, more akin to the flat fabric of cotton dress shirts. Although chambray can be any color, it is usually woven from a combination of blue and white yarns; this produces chambray's signature two-toned, subtly cross-hatched, denim-like appearance. Compared with those of dress shirts, these bicolor yarns are also typically chunkier, which can give the fabric a more textured, casual appearance. 'It was never meant to be a dress-shirt fabric,' Carl Goldberg, custom shirtmaker and founder of CEGO, told me in an interview. (Goldberg recently made Walton Goggins's iconic aloha shirt for the third season of HBO's The White Lotus .) 'It was meant for workwear and military usage, but similar to the blue French worker's jacket, it became chic.' After nearly a decade of heavy wear and tear, my shirt has faded significantly.

Alexander Aciman/NYT Wirecutter My 10-year-old chambray shirt beside its replacement. Alexander Aciman/NYT Wirecutter After nearly a decade of heavy wear and tear, my shirt has faded significantly. Alexander Aciman/NYT Wirecutter chambray shirt has a button-down collar and is made from a crisp, lightly peached fabric. Its charm stems from that counterintuitive chicness Goldberg describes. Along with the unpredictable nature of the shirt's fabric, this quality makes it neither an oxford, nor a dress shirt, nor a western shirt, but something in a category all its own. The button-down eludes simple categorization and is therefore one of the most versatile garments a person can own. This shirt can be worn tucked or untucked, in summer and in winter, under a tweed blazer, or as a layer over a T-shirt. It can be worn with blue denim jeans — without looking like a Canadian tuxedo. And it looks no less at home worn with shorts and sandals at the beach than it does under a sweater with olive trousers. Style writers have long expounded on the virtues of clothes that can be dressed up or dressed down. But a chambray shirt is one of the few items that is capable of both simultaneously: It can be, at the same time, both Brooks Brothers and Levi Strauss. Chambray's texture pairs well with chunky knitwear in fall outfits. Rebecca Hartje The shirt's muted indigo blue is neutral enough to fit in with a range of other colors. Rebecca Hartje I feel the need. The need for tweed. Rebecca Hartje Chambray's texture pairs well with chunky knitwear in fall outfits. Rebecca Hartje Due to its shapeshifting nature, this shirt immediately became a staple of my daily wardrobe. At times, every outfit I wanted to wear seemed to revolve around it — my chambray button-down was the foundation of how I wanted to see myself and how I wanted the world to see me. I searched for its limits — wearing it with everything from sport coats to black jeans to swim shorts — but I never quite found them. Above all else, the shirt is flourishing as part of my travel wardrobe. It comes with me on every trip I take. If I have enough room in my bag for only one collared shirt, there's no doubt which one it should be. shirt is casual enough to be worn around any city and durable enough to act as a layer on light hikes or on chilly days. I particularly like having it with me in the event that I might need to look presentable — I've never felt out of place in a nice restaurant while wearing this shirt. Because the shirt's fabric is made with thicker yarns than a standard flat-weave cotton shirt, it sheds wrinkles with ease; this allows me to wear it straight out of my bag, no need to iron. I've used it to put together a week of travel outfits without ever feeling like I'm wearing the same thing twice. And in a pinch, I've used it as a blanket or a pillow.

Rebecca Hartje Fuji Instax photos taken by my wife on our honeymoon, featuring my favorite chambray shirt. Rebecca Hartje Time and probably hundreds of trips through the wash have softened the fabric considerably, imparting a plush, almost flannel-like texture that I find comforting. It has all of the traits of lovingly worn-in vintage items that boutique thrift stores list at exorbitant prices. It has aged with me over the past decade, and it's now an old friend; I am most myself in this shirt, and it is strange to think back to a time when it represented something alien and excitingly aspirational.

J.Crew's most flattering, tummy-taming swimsuit is on sale for 40% off
Hello, sunshine! With warmer days rolling in, it's officially time to think about swimsuits. Trying on swimwear usually comes with a side of dread, but this time we found one that might change the game. It smooths, flatters and puts the fun back into swim season. We're talking about Classic Sculpt One-piece and right now, you can get it for 40% off at the brand's Spring Event — but you'd better hurry. The sale ends tomorrow. Swimsuits can get pretty pricey and somehow the smaller they are, the more they cost. But when summer hits and there's a beach trip or cruise in the mix, you have to have one. This one normally goes for $118, but at Spring Event, you can get it for just $70 — that's 40% off. The sale event goes through April 14 and you can snap up deals on some of the brand's favorite styles sitewide at similarly deep discounts. This swimsuit might just surprise you. It's designed with two interlocking layers of fabric to gently sculpt and support, without the breath-stealing squeeze of typical control suits. It hugs in the right places—around the tummy and bum—but still feels soft and wearable. In fact, it's so sleek and comfortable, you could pair it with jeans and a blazer and wear it out to dinner. The deep V neckline stays where it should, and the legs don't hike up either. It comes in three different colors at the sale price: Simply Sage, Smoky Willow Wood and Black. The reviews quoted above reflect the most recent versions at the time of publication.
