Zara Tindall's comfy wedges, sunglasses and chic Aspinal bag are a perfect trio to elevate summer outfits

We all have those pieces we rely on and Zara Tindall’s got a dependable trio of accessories that will complement pretty much any summery outfit. She wore a pair of comfy wedges with sunglasses and an Aspinal bag to Wimbledon in 2023 and it’s still inspiring us years later.

Stepping out on Day 10 of that year’s championships, the King’s niece wore a striped midi dress and coordinated her tan accessories to create a put-together feel. They’re the kind of designs that can be mixed and matched with so many different looks and blended raffia and smooth leather textures.

Zara’s Aspinal Camera bag would be indispensable in a spring capsule wardrobe and for summer too, as it’s the perfect size and shape to fit your essentials in without being overly heavy or bulky.

She wore it draped over one shoulder for her day at the tennis, though it can also be carried crossbody to leave you fully handsfree. The raffia detailing tied in with the jute on her wedges, adding even more cohesion.

The royals regularly reach for espadrille wedges in the warmer months as they provide elevation without compromising on comfort like you often have to with delicate stilettos. This makes them an especially great choice when you’re going to be outdoors walking across grass and the woven jute is inherently summery and a little more casual.

The leather straps running over Zara Tindall’s feet and around her ankle helped to keep her shoes secure and I’d recommend going for styles with buckles instead of tie-up designs if you want to be sure of this. They’re also just a bit more fuss-free, as once you’ve got them tightened you generally won’t need to adjust them throughout the day.

Zara’s choice of tan accessories was a clever way to warm up the black and white pinstripes on her shirtdress too. Neutral bags and shoes are simplest to style and whilst black can look a bit stark against pastels or bright colours, tan is a softer alternative.

It’ll complement the spring/summer fashion colour trends and also looks wonderful with the palest hues like white or cream. Imagine Zara Tindall’s crossbody bag and wedges with a classic little white dress? This would look so beautiful and we can’t forget the final item in her reliable summer trio - sunglasses.

They fulfil a practical function, of course, but it’s amazing how much of a difference shades can make style-wise too.

Princess Anne’s daughter owns several pairs and at Wimbledon in 2023 she went for round ones with almost transparent tortoiseshell frames. The lenses were brown and so they worked well with her shoes and bag and brought the whole look together.

Zara's entire look demonstrates just how important accessories truly are and her crossbody bag, wedges and sunnies are something that could go with a smart ensemble like this as well as with jeans and a T-shirt. The combinations are endless and that’s the benefit of going for timeless designs and pared-back colours like she does.
