Catherine wore nude pumps with this bright yellow dress
Nude court shoes are storming up the fashion charts at George this week thanks to the nation’s sweetheart Kate Middleton.
On her recent royal engagements, the Duchess of Cambridge has been regularly spotted wearing the neutral shoe to compliment her fashion forward outfits and they’re becoming a firm favourite with shoppers as George at Asda report a sales increase of 126% this week alone.
Not keen to splash £200 on Kate’s LK Bennett Sledge shoes, women across the nation are flocking to repli-kate the look with more affordable alternatives such as George’s new patent court shoes which are 1566% cheaper in price, coming in at just £12 for the ‘patent court shoes’ and £14 for the ‘patent heels.’
Following Kate’s sophisticated lead, patent court shoes sales (in all colours) are up 76% too as women use them to smarten up day-to-day outfits as well as occasion dresses and skirts.
With all eyes on the young royals over the last week, George has also seen packs of nude tights flying off the shelves both in stores and online with the retailer reporting an 83% increase in sales. Once a fashion no-no, the nude tight is firmly back on the fashion radar for those who want to embrace the recent summery weather without exposing their bare legs.
As we head into May, with days staying lighter for longer and Brits getting into the summer spirit, women across the nation are confidently showing off their legs by stepping out in nude and sheer versions of the famous glossy hosiery and elongating their pins with the classic nude shoe to emulate the Kate look, and keep the cold at bay.
A George spokesperson said: “Nude shoes are a classic wardrobe staple and a sophisticated addition to all outfits. Whether you’re at work, dinner or play they can be used to dress up jeans, skirts and dresses and as Kate has shown us this week they look the part on all occasions. Now that the summer is coming, we expect sales of nude shoes and tights to continue right through the season. Our shoppers love Kate Middleton and are always keen to emulate her smart yet fashion forward style, we can’t wait to see what she’ll be wearing next”
George has reported similar sales uplifts in the past due to Kate’s impeccable style, including a 300% uplift on its mac collection and a 471% uplift on coloured denim.
