On the 19th of September 2019, the Duchess of Cambridge (Kate Middleton) visited Evelina London’s Sunshine House in Peckham, London to learn more about the Family Nurse Partnership. For the visit, Kate wore a polka dot shirt by French brand, Equipment.
Here’s everything we know about the spotty shirt.
About Kate’s polka dot shirt:
The shirt is from Equipment’s ‘Slim Fit’ range. It maintains all of the classic elements of the company’s Classic blouse style but with a slightly more fitted cut.
The shirt features two double chest pockets, a button-down front, a spread collar, long sleeves, button cuffs, a back yoke with box pleat and a shirttail hem.
Equipment crafted the shirt from 100% silk fabric dyed in a shade they call ’Eclipse’. The colour appears to be somewhere between black and midnight blue depending on the lighting. It features small polka dots in a brilliant shade of white.
Buying Kate’s shirt:
At the time of writing (the 19th of September 2020), the shirt can still be purchased from a number of retailers including:
How Kate styled the blouse:
The Duchess paired her polka dot blouse with a pair of wide-legged black trousers from Zara. She finished the look with bold block heel in black suede by Gianvito Rossi.

Equipment is known for its iconic silk shirts and cashmere sweaters. The company has roots in Paris, which is reflected in the brand’s effortlessly chic style and sophisticated French aesthetic.
