A shirtdress is a summer classic, but leave it to Sophie, the Duchess of Edinburgh, to breathe new life into such a timeless silhouette. At a royal engagement this week, Sophie met with 105-year-old Royal Marines veteran James ‘Jim’ Wren in Wiltshire ahead of the anniversary of VJ (Victory in Japan) Day. It was a meaningful occasion and as we reported earlier this week, one that was brightened by Sophie’s style. And truthfully, we can’t stop thinking about it: Her Lexy London dress ($304; $183) and its vibrant geometric pattern is perfect for end of summer—here’s why.
