Many royal family members have wowed us with their wardrobe choices over the years, but the Princess of Wales, Kate Middleton, has amassed a veritable fashion fan club. We can trace her outfit origins back to her school days with Prince William at St. Andrews University, where the Berkshire beauty once rocked period-appropriate camis and low-rise jeans. Since joining the royal family, Middleton’s image has become more refined, but she’s still known to wear laidback looks every so often.
Whether you’ve coveted her chic dresses or bold, fitted blazers, it’s surprisingly easy to copy some of Kate Middleton’s favorite fashion designs on a budget. The down-to-earth royal isn’t shy about wearing high street — or retail — garb from ready-to-wear labels like Reiss or Zara.
Fall is the perfect time to freshen up your closet, and no one pulls off plaids, knits, and coats quite like Middleton can. Why not take inspiration from the Princess of Wales herself as you build your cold-weather wardrobe? Ahead, we’ll review some of Kate Middleton’s best fall outfits, along with real-life interpretations, to help you get the royal look.
From our partners:
Steal the scene in emerald green
Kate Middleton is no stranger to wearing an oversized blazer, and we can’t get enough of this gorgeous green version on her. While Kate chose to lean into the menswear trend with this look, you can rock a similarly colored jacket alongside a skirt or dress. We also love the idea of playing with texture alongside this verdant style — try mixing it up with a velvet jacket and satin skirt like the ones pictured here.
Camel coats are a timeless choice
Nothing says elegance quite like a camel trench or coat, and Kate looks downright stunning in this monochromatic ensemble. To steal Kate’s sophisticated style, simply layer a long camel coat over a turtleneck dress in a similar hue — or, to add your own flair to this fit, play with separates in coordinating neutral colors for a timeless look.Â
A cheery red coat can brighten any fall day
Kate looks ravishing in red with this brightly-colored coat, featuring exaggerated lapels and shiny gold buttons. You don’t have to copy every detail to pull off this design, however. As long as you nail its crimson color, your coat can be just as impressive in a slightly different style. Kate went with a black top beneath her outerwear, but we think a white turtleneck gives this outfit a pleasant vintage feel.
Stay warm with a Kate-approved puffer vest
Can’t wait to cozy up with your favorite puffer vest this fall? Neither can Kate, if her outfit history is any indication. The royal picked a ’60s-style scarf to give her olive green look a bit of pizzazz, but you can always experiment with subtler colors for your accessories of choice.
Jewel-toned knits are a must-have
Dark jewel tones are always a win for autumn, and Kate looks elegant as ever in this purple knit top. Steal Kate’s style with a turtleneck or sweater in a seasonally-appropriate shade, like burgundy, violet, or indigo. Add a matching jacket to keep things streamlined, or choose something with contrast, like Kate’s olive green slacks.
A blue coat that’s fit for a royal
We can’t say that we’re surprised that Kate Middleton seems to be a fan of royal blue. Her belted blue jacket is a sight to behold, though you can get the same feel by selecting a coat or jacket in a corresponding shade. Just be sure to keep the accessories to a minimum so this style can take center stage.
Try festive maroon pants on this fall
Want a stylish fall fit that’s versatile enough to carry you from the office to the pumpkin patch? Then this three-piece set should do the trick. Although Kate wore a structured blazer and leather belt here, you can dress it down by swapping fabrics and styles to suit your mood. The maroon pants are a killer fall fashion staple that pulls everything together, so be sure to include them in your version of the look.
