Carole Middleton's circular rattan bag proved the wicker accessories trend wasn't going to go anywhere and it’s the epitome of summer chic.
- The Princess of Wales’ mother stepped out with a stunning wicker bag at Wimbledon last year and we’re still dreaming about it now.
- Carole Middleton’s circular bag showcased the wicker accessories trend at its best and it’s still going strong this year.
- This royal news comes as we revealed Prince William used to make this meal to woo Kate Middleton - and it sounds *soo* good.
Whilst so many of Kate Middleton’s dresses have been show-stoppers over the years she’s not the only member of her family to give us some serious style inspiration. The future Queen Consort’s mother Carole Middleton frequently delivers on the fashion front. Carole Middleton’s most stylish looks include everything from her electric blue coat dress for King Charles’ coronation to her tiered blue and white Wimbledon dress from 2017. Her accessories are just as beautiful and Carole Middleton’s circular rattan bag from Wimbledon last year showcased this eye-catching trend that’s still going strong.
Carole’s handbag of choice for a day at the tennis was a bold round shape that couldn’t be more different to the raffia clutch that we saw worn with Princess Beatrice’s dusky pink shirt dress when the King’s niece attended this year’s championships. The Princess of Wales’ mum balanced practicality with style could likely fit all her essentials in this roomy-looking bag.
It featured a circular cut-out pattern on the front and the top-handle design echoed the round shape of Carole’s bag. Whilst the natural straw tone of the material was the perfect neutral choice to pair with her rather eye-catching floral dress and added a bit of texture to her outfit.
Featuring a grey background colour, Carole’s dress brightened up her overall look with its splashes of bright coral, peach and jade green in its watercolour-esque floral print. She finished her Wimbledon 2022 outfit off with a pair of nude sandals and pearl earrings, oozing classic elegance.
Carole Middleton’s circular rattan bag was right on trend for 2022 and continues to be a summer staple for many fashion lovers this year. Proving this was one style trend that wasn’t going anywhere fast, Carole’s look also showcased the versatility of wicker bags.
