She favors tonal dressing, clean lines, and heritage fabrics that photograph beautifully and feel timeless IRL.

Smart-Casual Off-Duty

Pair a double-breasted blazer with a Breton knit, tailored jeans or trousers, and loafers or low block-heel pumps.
Palette: navy, ivory, camel; add a forest-green coat for polish.

Day Dresses & Skirts

Choose midi lengths in crepe or soft pleats—polka dots, ditsy florals, or solid jewel tones. Pair with a slim belt and simple studs for engagements, brunches, or office days.
Styling note: a lightweight longline cardigan or cropped jacket keeps proportions modern.

Coats & Coatdresses

Build the silhouette with a nipped-waist coat or coatdress in navy, emerald, or camel. Look for clean lapels, invisible or fabric-covered buttons, and an A-line hem that skims the knee.
Fit tip: tailor sleeves to wrist bone; define waist; keep shoulder pads subtle.

Evening & Occasion

Channel gala polish with clean-lined satin or crepe gowns, subtle sparkle, and a structured mini clutch. If you prefer knee-length, opt for lace sheath or fit-and-flare with sleeves.
Jewelry lane: pearls, sapphire-blue stones, delicate tennis bracelets.

Shoes and Bags

Pumps: suede or leather, 6–8 cm heel, almond/pointed toe (black, navy, taupe).
Bags: top-handle or envelope clutches with minimal hardware.
Headpieces: padded headbands or refined fascinators for weddings/races.
Practical tip: add non-slip pads and gel insoles for long events.

Hats

The royal finish. Choose structured, camera-ready styles that echo Kate’s polish and proportions. For day events and races, a percher/pillbox or padded headband with veil keeps lines clean; for winter, a felt wide-brim or fedora in navy, camel, or forest adds quiet drama; for summer, a boater or Panama in ivory or straw balances light dresses. Match (or softly tone) hat, coat, and shoes for a seamless look.
