Duchess Sophie’s blush pink jumper and sultry yet cosy knee high boots is a combination we need in our wardrobes
Duchess Sophie's blush pink jumper and brown knee high boots are so elegant and easy-to-wear throughout the colder months
Duchess Sophie’s blush pink jumper and sultry knee high boots is a combination we need in our lives right now this winter.
When you’re venturing outside on cold winter days nothing beats wearing your best wool jumpers to make you feel cosy and sophisticated at the same time. For many of us neutral knitwear is a must-have in our winter capsule wardrobe, but the Duchess of Edinburgh has just proved that soft pastel shades can also be incredibly versatile. Duchess Sophie’s blush pink jumper from Max Mara is an investment piece we can’t help falling for. The cosy knit was the focus of her outfit as the senior royal paid a visit to The Lighthouse in Barnsbury on 31st January.
She joined the volunteer team for the afternoon and surprised guests at the ‘Tea & Cake for Senior Citizens” event. Duchess Sophie’s jumper was a gorgeously elegant choice for this special occasion, which was captured in pictures by Ed Peers.

The minimalist design featured a classic ribbed roll neck that was mirrored in the cuffs. Other than these details, Duchess Sophie’s blush pink jumper was plain, making it very easy to pair with so many wardrobe items. Although pink might not immediately seem like the most wearable colour, the warm undertone of this pastel hue makes it so flattering and it would look great with everything from your best jeans to skirts or more formal trousers.
