Kate Middletonis green-lighting thispretty printfor the wintertime — well, sort of.
Last week, Prince Williamwished his wife a happy birthdayon the duo’s shared social media account. Accompanying the sweet message was a never-before-seen portrait of the Princess of Wales, 43, who wore a toasty gingham scarf — a pattern that’s typically reserved for the warmer months of the year.
Case in point: Reese Witherspoon’ssummer pickleball attire, Taylor Swift’smini dress at the US Open, Sarah Jessica Parker’s hatwhile filming season three ofAnd Just Like That…, and, now, Kate Middleton’s scarf. You see, the portrait was actually taken last summer. But since a scarf (or any other piece of clothing, for that matter) can be warm and wintry with the right material, there’s no reason why you can’t wear gingham now.

Kate’s portrait button-down was patternless, so it only felt right to find a gingham version. This one from Amazon has slim-fitting sleeves, which is warm yet allows for layering.
One shopper wrotethat it “looks like a posh brand shirt” and also noted that “the button did not gap or pucker” over their large bust.

We couldn’t pull gingham products without including a scarf — the inspiration for this story. This now-$70 selection features a darker color scheme, which is inherently wintry, and is made from 100 percent cashmere for a warm and luxurious feel. And if it’s bone-chillingly cold, you might add some mittens to your cart, too. (Gingham ones, of course!)
