A pussy bow is also known as a lavallière, and is a style that many royals have adopted over the years as it looks effortlessly chic but modest at the same time.

It has become a symbol of women in power after elevating the neckline in a classy and understated way, with many opting to don the look in the workplace. 

Princess Kate is a huge fan of colour and only ever wears black during a period of mourning or as a mark of respect.

Although if you are after a pop of colour but on a design that is understanded and timeless then John Lewis’s Part Two Rie Long Sleeve Midi Dress, Botanical Garden is perfect.
