She dares to wear animal prints, stripes, florals and abstracts regularly. The Queen famously said “I have to be seen to be believed”-I think Kate has taken this principle on board and it reflects in her own fashion choices, especially during overseas tours and events that draw large crowds.Īlso, Kate’s not shy when it comes to prints. (This was confirmed by the Countess of Wessex in a documentary in 2016.) Some of The Queen’s neon attire caught the media’s attention on occasion, even grabbing headlines.ĭon’t forget that when she turns up somewhere, the crowds are two, three, four, 10, 15 deep, and someone wants to be able to say they saw a bit of the queen’s hat as she went past. The monarch was known for wearing bright hues to “stand out” so people could say they’d seen her. I often wonder if her love of colour is inspired by the late Queen Elizabeth (I think it’s fair to assume the Princess looks to her royal relatives for inspiration before dressing for high-profile occasions). From vibrant jewel tones to bold shades of yellow and blue. Kate embraces colour and has plenty of eye-catching pieces in her wardrobe. 3) Kate doesn’t shy away from bold colours and prints She’ll pair them with heels or wedges depending on the type of engagement and how formal she needs to look. She often selects breezy printed dresses. Summer engagements: I love Kate’s summer outfits. She tends to gravitate towards single colour and tonal looks. If it’s winter, expect her to pair the look with a floor-length coat worn open. Or, she’ll pair wide-leg trousers with a top, finishing the look with towering pumps or a chunky block heel.
The result is an elegant, easy-to-throw together and stylish look. Smart-casual engagements: Kate will tuck a thin sweater into a long pleated skirt and finish the look with either heels or long boots. She’ll swap the lightweight knit for a chunky roll neck in the winter months. She tends to wear garments with a waistband to enhance her figure.įarms, outdoor visits and casual events: The Princess will often pair khaki trousers or skinny jeans with boots or sneakers, a blouse and a sweater. She tends to wear modest necklines and below-knee skirts, which means she can spend all day in comfort, not worrying about flashing too much skin. High-profile royal events: In recent years, Kate has gravitated towards wearing sleek dresses and elegant coats in a solid block of colour, with simple single-tone accessories. We can use her uniform as a playbook to help us look great in our everyday lives. The Princess knows her style and mostly sticks to a tried and tested uniform, which is great for the sartorially challenged amongst us (myself very much included). Often, this translates into her buying the same garments, footwear and accessories in multiple colours. She’s established a ‘uniform’ for public engagements and knows what works for her, for her figure and for her standing as a royal. I’d say Kate really found her style a few years back. 2 ) The Princess knows her style (and mostly sticks to her “uniform”)
Confidence and carrying oneself well make even the basic outfit appear polished and stylish. They always complement her outfit and are appropriate for the occasion.įinally, I think Kate’s own confidence helps-especially now she’s grown into her role as a core royal. Kate and her assistants have a knack for choosing the right pieces to complete the look. I think accessories play a key role too-an elegant brooch, a pair of statement earrings or a sleek bag will provide the perfect finishing touch for a well-put-together outfit. I think Kate (and her assistant) must carefully consider each garment, selecting only well-constructed pieces with a good fit. Of course, Kate has the money to invest in high-quality, well-made clothing-though we do see her wear affordable brands on a regular basis too. Whether it’s a pair of well-fitting jeans, a tailored suit, a structured dress or a bespoke gown. So, what’s her secret?īeautifully fitting clothes help. She seems to exude elegance and grace in every situation.
