Kate Middleton owns three different Breton striped tops from ME+EM.
Above: the Duchess wearing the white Breton top with blue stripes during her visit to Auckland in 2014.
Kate chose the black and white striped top for the America’s Cup trophy presentation in 2015. She wore the cobalt blue version with white stripes during a polo match in the same year.
About Kate’s breton tops:
Kate owns the ME+EM striped tops in:
- White with blue stripes
- Cobalt blue with white stripes
- White with black stripes
All three striped tops feature a scoop neckline, three-quarter length sleeves and ruched detailing at the bottom hem.
On their website, ME+EM described the Breton tops as “perennially chic” and as having “flattering design features.”
The top is made from Lyocell and cotton blend fabric.
The Daily Mail calls this a “miracle top that makes any women look slim“, while ME+EM‘s owner Clare Hornby says the top is “washable, lightweight and keeps its shape well“.
Lyocell is densely woven, which helps the white sections avoid looking transparent.
On our Facebook page, Sophia writes that she recommends the ME+EM Breton top and that it is “super soft”.

Does Kate Middleton wear anything else from ME+EM?
She does indeed. In addition to these three Breton striped tops, Kate’s worn a pink dress from the brand in public twice, plus a frill collar ‘layering’ top.
About ME+EM:
ME+EM are a British brand, located in London. All of ME+EM’s clothing is made right here in the UK, or in Europe. They only have one shop in London and believe that durability of fabric, precision of fit and perfection of colour is the key to desirable clothing.
The company specialise in beautiful finishes, detail and “understated luxury.” It’s easy to see why Princess Kate is such a fan! I hope she wears more from the brand in future.
