Duchess Sophie showcases one of the year's hottest trends in an oversized blazer that'll guarantee compliments all summer long

Duchess Sophie's oversized blazer is a perfect wardrobe staple for this summer - here's where you can buy the exact same look!

• On Monday, May 8, 2023, many members of the Royal Family used the bank holiday to volunteer at charity events across the UK.
• The Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh attended a very adorble event in London with the Guide Dogs Association.
• In other royal news, Queen Camilla's secret coronation dress detail you may have missed and it's too cute for words!

In celebration of the King's Coronation, many people in the UK used their extra bank holiday to get involved with the charitable event, The Big Help Out. The Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh met with volunteer puppy trainers and their pooches (Hollie, Lucy, Luker, Nyla, and Sunny) in London.

The Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh joined Hollie, Lucy, Luker, Nyla and Sunny and their volunteer puppy raisers at a special training class that celebrated the weekend’s festivities with a coronation-themed café.

Duchess Sophie is the Patron of the Guide Dog Association and took part in a puppy class at the Guide Dogs for the Blind Association Training Centre at a pop-up Coronation Cafe. The activities included participating in a recall session; food manners and how to refocus pups in a café situation.

For this adorable event, the Duchess of Edinburgh wore a Me + Em silk wisteria print blouse in cream and orange, a pair of cropped red pants from Max Mara, and a Sophie Habsburg Caramel bag.

The ensemble was the perfect Spring to summer look and the Duchess topped it off with one of this season's hottest trends. Duchess Sophie's oversized blazer was the Max Mara Alpaca Blazer in Camel which she has previously been snapped in at other royal engagements. Unfortunately, this exact blazer is no longer stocked, but the brand sells a very similar blazer in the same color but with a double breasted style. There are also many similar blazers that are currently being sold as it is a very popular look this season.
