    Harriet Sperling, the soon-to-be royal bride, was thrust into the spotlight when her relationship with Peter Phillips, Princess Anne’s son, was made public in 2024. Since then, she has been a poster girl for British it-girl fashion, from matching Beulah sets to lemony Ascot outfits. While her formal outfits for royal events are enviable, it’s her down-to-earth, off-duty style people are loving—and looking to recreate—the most.

    Often photographed on days out with her fiancé, Peter, and their children—and sometimes with Peter’s nieces and nephew, Zara Tindall’s children—Harriet’s outfits are the perfect mom-on-the-go looks. Long, floaty dresses paired with crisp white Supergas can’t fail, and the combination of comfortable shoes with an easy-to-throw-on dress creates a perfect outfit. To combat the unpredictable British weather, Harriet has mastered the art of chic layering with her outfits.

    A relatable mom moment—full hands, full heart, chic outfit.

    On a family day out to the Burghley Horse Trials in 2024, Harriet Sperling wore a pink dress from Dilli Grey, Supergas, a crossbody bag from Anya Hindmarch, all topped with a reversible borg vest from Boden. The fluffy, soft vest was the perfect outfit addition as temperatures fluctuated in between seasons, and looked incredibly cool paired with the ultra-feminine dress and classic white sneakers. The reversible vest style features hazelnut-colored corduroy on the reverse, making the piece a versatile wardrobe addition.

    Boden’s ‘Clerkenwell’ vest is described by the brand as “snuggly and stylish in equal measure, the plush borg gilet is perfect for those in-betweeny days when neither you or the weather can make up your mind.” As temperatures drift from winter to spring, then back to winter, then immediately to mid-summer, and back again, a vest that’s easy to throw over any outfit can save the day. Recreate the style for spring with Boden’s vest—on sale now!—with a floaty pink dress and iconic Superga sneakers.
