It is not without reason that wardrobe classics form the basis of a well-stocked wardrobe. Because they always fit and can look surprisingly new when styled differently. Kate Middleton also skilfully uses this styling trick: you can regularly see her in maritime striped shirts – which immediately give basic outfits more sophistication. The shirts go well with jeans or high-waisted trousers in the Marlene style.
