British clothing brand Holland Cooper will no doubt be on your radar thanks to its most famous fan, none other than the Princess of Wales. Kate has worn plenty of Holland Cooper coats, jeans and blazers, but did you know their occasionwear is well worth a browse, too?
With big summer events like Royal Ascot and Wimbledon on the horizon - or closer to home, you might have summer weddings or birthday parties coming up - there's a style to suit everyone. I personally prefer a bit of arm coverage, so I have fallen for the Annabel blue lace dress, or the fit and flare shape of the Chatsworth Lemon dress is ludicrously flattering.
There's also espadrille wedges and woven bags to complete your look, as well as heatwave-ready shorts and chic linen you can pack for your holiday.
Kate's certainly not the only Holland Cooper fan, either. Zara Tindall, Amanda Holden, Mary Berry, Claudia Winkleman... the list goes on!

Butter yellow is still a huge colour trend for summer 2026, and this dress is an incredibly elegant way to embrace it. The fit and flare shape is both flattering and gives off a vintage glamour.
Kate Middleton loves her white Holland Cooper shorts, but you might find navy a bit more practical and wearable. These look really smart paired with a crisp white shirt, but would look just as good with a simple camisole or Breton striped top, too.
These espadrilles are a summer wonder. The wedge heel won't get you into any difficulties on grass like stilettos would, and the blush pink colour is almost a neutral that you can pair with so many colours and prints.
At first glance, this looks just like a simple striped shirt, but look closer, and you'll notice the chic scalloped broderie hem. It's available in UK sizes 6 to 16, and the buttons are engraved with HC for a luxurious finishing touch.
Is this just about the chicest sun hat you've ever seen? It's available in three sizes, and it will work whether you're soaking up some sunshine at the beach or heading to a glamorous day at the races.
This particular style is flying off the virtual shelves, so be quick to click if you're a fan of the shirt dress shape and designer-looking print. The same print is available on a shirt, shorts and trousers, too.
Designer totes aren't worth buying when there are bags as beautiful as this one. It's got the signature HC gold logo and it's roomy enough for all your essentials, both on holiday and at home. You can even get next day delivery if you're a bit on the last minute!
Wondering what to wear to Wimbledon? This has got SW19 written all over it. The pleated skirt will move beautifully when you walk, whilst the polo-style top half gives it a sporty spin.
This sleeveless shirt dress is exactly the kind of investment piece that your summer wardrobe is crying out for. You can keep it casual by teaming it with your best white trainers, or dress it up with heels for a fancy occasion.
This blouse is going to work wonders in your summer capsule wardrobe. It's stunning worn with shorts, jeans or tailored trousers, and when the weather is a little on the chilly side, you can layer a light knit over the top and just have the lacy collar peeking out.
You'll never go too far wrong in the warmer weather with a classic white linen shirt. I guarantee you'll be wearing this for years to come, and it makes a great swimwear cover-up, too.
This preppy striped shirt is exactly the kind of aesthetic you know and love Holland Cooper for, and I love how it's been styled with citrus yellow trousers.
If you want to be the 'something blue' at a wedding this summer, this lace creation is quite simply, stunning. The sleek long sleeves and ankle-grazing length provides plenty of coverage without feeling like too much. The belted waist is a chic touch, too.
I bet you didn't know Holland Cooper does such amazing dresses. This floaty option looks like it should cost hundreds more - and it's got pockets. Hurrah!
There are limited sizes left in this beautiful dress after founder Jade Holland-Cooper wore it to the Chelsea Flower Show. The sleeves are semi-sheer, plus the gathered waist creates an hourglass shape that's so feminine. On Instagram, Jade called it "the perfect summer dress".

Founder Jade Holland Cooper teamed the Paros dress with the Amalfi sunhat for the Chelsea Flower Show recently, adding the wedge espadrilles, which she called "the most comfortable shoes on the planet". The striking print was perfect for the setting, plus the long sleeves and ankle-grazing length make it so effortless to wear.
