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 J.Crew’s 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.
