I've loved seeing Zara Tindall's horse racing day outfits and for this year's Cheltenham Festival, she did not disappoint. While other race goers wore dresses, she bucked the trend on day two in a chic grey pinstripe suit, which I for one was a big fan of. But it was her simple sweater that piqued my interest the most - as it's not only a high street buy, but on sale too.

The mum-of-three shunned shirts and silky tops to wear under her Laura Green tailored suit, and opted for not just comfort and warmth, but classic style too in the form of a burgundy cashmere roll neck sweater from occasion wear faves Karen Millen.

Called 'The Founder Cashmere Roll Neck Jumper', Zara chose the on-trend plum colour to compliment her grey suit. In true royal style, Zara kept other parts of her outfit complimentary with a matching burgundy hat and carried the Strathberry Stylist bag in Embossed-Croc Burgundy, £295 / $425, a minimal -style clutch bag with gold accents. Zara is a big fan of Strathberry, often carrying the luxury British brand to royal outings and red carpet events.

Zara added a pair of classic yellow gold diamond set huggie hoop earrings from jewellers Calleija Jewellers. Zara's outfit really was effortlessly cool, and the addition of a cashmere sweater elevated it to major cool-girl chic.

Zara's Karen Millen sweater is a classic investment buy that I'd say is worth snapping up now, while it's on sale, for those chilly spring days - fool's spring is a thing, after all.

Made from a high quality knit fabric with cashmere, it features a fitted silhouette and a high neckline. If the plum-red shade isn't for you, there's a gorgeous cobalt blue version available too. Both sweaters are available in UK sizes XS - XL, and it currently has 20% off, taking the price from £199 to £139.30 / $339 to $237.30.

Of course, this is hand wash only but as with all cashmere, it's a material that stands the test of time and honestly there's nothing like wearing a cashmere sweater.

If cashmere isn't for you, tap into the look with New Look's £20 burgundy turtleneck, in a soft cotton blend, or this lambswool burgundy roll neck from House Of Bruar, made from 100% pure new wool.

The 43-year-old and cousin Princess Eugenie got the burgundy memo too, as Eugenie wore the shade top to toe, with a military-style Hobbs coat and beautiful headpiece.

If you're unsure on how to transition your autumnal burgundy pieces to spring, take a leaf out of Zara's book and wear with light to mid-grey pieces and pep the look up with gold accessories.

I also love mixing burgundy with the trending palette for spring, butter yellow, and pastel pink and burgundy is a stunning combination of light and dark too. Of course, burgundy and denim is a no-brainer, and when you add darker washed denim pieces like indigo high-waist flares, you've got a smart yet on-trend outfit that gives off that elevated luxury vibe we all can't get enough off.
