Today, Kate Middleton showcased her impeccable countryside style while participating in a guided walk in the Peak District alongside members of the Mind Over Mountains charity. Despite the challenging weather conditions brought by Storm Chandra, the Princess of Wales donned a waxed jacket, tweed cap, and a luxurious cashmere snood from the renowned Scottish brand Brora.
This cozy snood not only provided warmth and practicality but also paid homage to Claudia Winkleman, a notable figure in winter fashion inspiration. Interestingly, both Princess Kate and The Traitors’ host share a common style element in their preference for cashmere pieces from Brora.
Although Kate wore a design from 2018, Brora continues to offer the Cashmere Cable Snood in various color options, currently on sale from £159 to £115. Available in conker brown and teal blue, these unisex designs cater to diverse preferences.
Brora’s reputation for quality extends to Claudia Winkleman, known for sporting Brora’s Cashmere Fingerless Gloves during her show. Like the gloves, Kate’s snood is crafted from 100% Scottish cashmere, ensuring both warmth and breathability without causing discomfort.
The Cashmere Cable Snood features a classic cable knit pattern, reflecting Kate’s timeless fashion sense. For those seeking a similar style at a more affordable price point, Jigsaw offers a Wool Cashmere Blend Rib Snood at a discounted rate of £29, down from £49.
For versatile layering options, consider the Ribbed Cashmere Snood in Black from Loop, currently priced at £99 after a substantial £200 reduction. This snood’s high neck and wide panel make it ideal for layering over or under various clothing items for added warmth.
Alternatively, LilySilk offers a Cashmere Balaclava at £89, perfect for comprehensive protection from cold weather. This balaclava can be worn under hoods or tucked into garments without hoods, providing additional warmth to the head and neck areas.
Given the endorsement of Brora’s cashmere pieces by both Princess Kate and Claudia Winkleman, it’s clear that the Cashmere Cable Snood is a must-have item for any fashion enthusiast looking for a blend of style and warmth.
