Carole Middleton’s high-waisted jeans and vintage shirt party look
Carole Middleton found comfortable but chic alternative party wear with a vintage shirt and high-waisted jeans that made for the perfect elevated evening look.
Kate Middleton’s mum is always a source of fashion inspiration – her Wimbledon looks particularly are always ones to watch out for. But it’s this casual chic look that will forever inspire our party style closet choices.
In a snap posted to her former company Party Piece’s Instagram page back in 2022, Carole nailed one of the hardest challenges we all face when it comes to our closets in finding the best jeans for your body type, styling a pair of on-trend wide leg jeans with an elegant white shirt.

The jeans boasted a flattering high-waist and eye-catching gold button detailing, with a straight-legged fit and simple seam detailing down the front bringing some lowkey interest to the denim staple.
Pulling together the most effortless and understated party look, Carole styled her jeans with a chic cream-coloured blouse. The off-white hue leaned beautifully into the jean’s vintage charm, with statement-making long sleeves and an oversized necktie detail only further highlighting this timeless nod to decades-gone-by.
Highlighting the fabric’s pearlescent satin finish that catches the light beautifully, Carole accessorized her outfit with a pair of simple pearl drop earrings. This timeless jewelery staple is a sure-fire way to add some simple glam into any outfit you pull together and they’ll ooze timeless elegance whether you wear them with jeans and a shirt like Carole, or pair them with a sleek floral midi dress and your favorite white sneakers.
