Styling Kate: It's Time to Style Kate for a Day at Wimbledon!

It's that time of year again! With the Cambridges currently holidaying in Mustique and the August summer break ahead, it's the perfect time of year to ask you to indulge your inner stylist and create your dream look for the Duchess. The annual blog activity has seen readers submit a plethora of stunning looks for red carpet events, Royal Ascot and several State banquets. This year, I thought it would be fun to choose a daywear event. This year, we're going to choose looks for Wimbledon.

Wimbledon is a wonderful opportunity for guests to select a stylish ensemble for a day of courtside action. The fortnight of tennis is one of Kate's summer calendar highlights, and she tends to choose midi and knee length dresses from her favourite designers. As matches can take a number of hours, comfort is key. Is there a particular designer you would like to see Kate wear? Wimbledon White or a splash of vibrant colour? A simple elegant dress, or a separates look? Perhaps a trousers look or jumpsuit? Accessories are key during the tournament. A chic handbag and stylish sunglasses can pull a whole look together.

You can choose high street or designer, or mix and match pieces from Kate's closet.

With the Duchess presenting the winner's trophy at the men's final this year in her role as patron, stylists need to choose a look suitable for attending a luncheon, meeting players, then attending the match with presenting duties at the end.

• Don't forget to leave a name or a moniker in order to ensure I can appropriately credit your look.
• The look can simply consist of one item, for example, a dress. If you wish, however, you can include footwear, jewellery, sunglasses, a clutch, bag, etc. It can be as simple or as detailed as you want. Remember you're the stylist!
• Feel free to choose pieces already in Kate's closet.

Happy styling. I am very excited to see your submissions :)
