Zara Tindall has reintroduced the striped shirt dress as a key summer fashion trend, seen at this year's Wimbledon Championships. The royal opted for a breezy Rebecca Vallance midi dress in a pastel blue and white pattern.
The dress featured puff sleeves, a design detail often seen in Tindall's wardrobe, along with a sash belt and a fit-and-flare silhouette that reached mid-calf. She accessorized her outfit with Emmy London ivory court shoes, Finlay sunglasses, and a raffia bag from Strathberry.
Striped dresses are described as a perennial summer staple, offering a chic and easy-to-style option suitable for various occasions, from garden parties to casual brunches. The current high street offerings include a range of styles, from classic pinstripes to more prominent designs.
For those looking to replicate a similar aesthetic, dresses with puff sleeves and a defined waist are recommended for creating a flattering silhouette. Marks & Spencer offers a striped dress with a square neckline, while Ro&Zo has a version with a smocked bodice. Boden's Sarah shirt dress provides a more tailored, menswear-inspired look with boxy short sleeves.
To emulate Tindall's Wimbledon ensemble, pairing a striped dress with ivory court shoes, oversized sunglasses, and a woven raffia bag is suggested. While the specific ivory Strathberry bag Tindall carried has sold out, a tan version is available.
