The Princess of Wales' exact knit is still in stock

British born label Me+Em has amassed a notable celebrity following since its 2009 debut. From Pamela Anderson to Olivia Colman, the brand has a seriously impressive A-list fan base, but it’s the royal seal of approval that truly sets the brand apart: most recently proven by the Princess of Wales.

During a recent engagement at Frogmore Gardens with US First Lady Melania Trump, the Princess (zoom in and you can just see it) stepped out in Me+Em’s straight knit vest in a rich, autumnal chestnut brown. Crafted from pure cashmere, the luxuriously tactile vest boasts a fluffy finish, perfectly in step with the cosy knitwear trend we’ve already championed here at GH.

True to Me+Em CEO Clare Hornby’s ethos, the vest embodies the three ‘F’s: flattering, functional and forever. The quality is brilliant, and with its endless layering potential, it’s a timeless knitwear staple that’ll see you stylishly through the season’s cold snap.

Speaking of layering, the former Duchess of Cambridge stayed on theme, styling the knit vest with the now sold out Me+Em jacket and a Stephen Walters silk neck scarf for a preppy finish. In a masterclass of transatlantic styling, she combined British and American favourites, pairing the look with the Ralph Lauren Evilyn Birdseye Tweed skirt, and bespoke suede Gianvito Rossi boots. The latter two, however, come with a rather hefty price tag.

But don’t let that put you off. The exact vest Kate wore is still available to shop, and comes in sizes XS to XL. If you’d rather a vest with a pop of colour, consider the striking rhubarb pink version that looks carefully considered when worn with sleek black blazers and tailored trousers – not forgetting a pair of pointed toe heels.

However, if the Me+Em version is still slightly out of budget, we’ve rounded up some excellent alternatives below for easy browsing.
