Pippa Middleton’s polka dot wrap dress is ideal for the UK’s hot weather

We’ve been loving this heatwave! The UK is currently experiencing some much-deserved sunshine and we are enjoying how bright everything is. However, it can be hard to know exactly what to wear to look stylish and keep cool at the same time.

Well, if you need some summer designing inspiration, the Princess of Wales’ sister Pippa Middleton is one to watch. We may not have seen Princess Charlotte’s auntie since the Wimbledon Men’s final back in July, but that doesn’t mean we can’t take a look through the archives for inspiration, and one dress you could absolutely wear today is the yellow, floral wrap dress the mother-of-three sported in 2019 at Wimbledon.

Pippa was seen hand-in-hand with her husband, James Matthews, at the Men’s semi-finals that year, sporting a dazzling wrap dress.

Her frock was airy, cool, and had a lovely, gentle flirty hem. Ideal to throw on in a heatwave if you want to cover up, wear something light and airy but still look chic. Pippa’s dress was by cool-gal brand Ganni and it had a daringly high side split, V-neck, narrow waist belt and cropped sleeves. As always, she accessorised to perfection, adding a small white beaded shoulder bag with floral motif and strappy wedge heels. Sublime.

Pippa the style icon

The world may buy into the ‘Kate Effect’ after Prince William’s wife wears something, but her sister isn’t far behind, causing sellouts all of her own.

At Wimbledon a few weeks ago, she even rewore one of her favourite dresses, as she took to the royal box to support her sister at the Men’s finals.

Pippa’s dress featured florals, ruffles, and a fabulous waist-defining bow. It was by royally-loved brand Beulah London and we just knew we had seen it somewhere before.

 It was the very same number she wore to her little brother, James’ wedding to Alizée Thevenet in 2021. Her past-season style was known as the ‘Peony Teaberry Floral Midi Dress’ and no doubt brings back wonderful memories.
