The Duchess of Cambridge is known for her mastery of formal dressing - which is perhaps why we're always intrigued to see her dressed-down looks. Most recently, she's in casual mode in photos released over the weekend that show her baking cakes with her three children 'for the local community in Cardiff to enjoy at a Platinum Jubilee street party'.

Bravely, there's not an apron in sight - but Kate does make a nod to practicality by pairing jeans with a pretty pink gingham blouse with a statement collar from Brora, who suggest it as a 'great way to embrace this season's collar trend'.

'With its charming neckline and frill trim, flattering cuffed sleeves that sit above the elbow, button-through design all set on a feminine peony gingham, this blouse makes a style statement,' the description reads. 'Swap neutrals and think pink this season, and make sure you add this blouse to your capsule wardrobe.'

It's not the first time the Duchess has worn Brora - she was spotted wearing a ruffle-necked blouse from the brand during last year's royal tour of Scotland.

Sadly, this particular blouse is (predictably) now sold out, but you can sign up for an alert for when it's back in stock, too.

If you don't fancy pink, or are feeling particularly patriotic, the brand also has a special Jubilee Edit in red, white, and blue. It promises that when 'you purchase our limited-edition Jubilee lines, 10% of the sale will be donated to the Queen’s Green Canopy, which invites people from around the UK to “Plant a Tree for the Jubilee” and focuses on creating green spaces in deprived urban areas and schools around Britain.'

It's all a marked contrast to the Duchess's look for Saturday night's concert, the Platinum Party at the Palace, for which she turned to one of her favourite occasionwear labels: Self-Portrait.

The Duchess opted for a sharp-shouldered silhouette that would stand out from the crowd. Although it looks like a blazer, it's actually one of the brand's dresses, comprising a bouclé blazer and a chiffon-lace skirt. Clever, no? It's £400, still available to buy from the brand's website and completely saves the need to look for a matching jacket.
