For as long as Kate Middleton has been in the public eye, there’s been a worldwide fascination with her wardrobe. Her style is as much a source of inspiration as ever one decade after becoming the Duchess of Cambridge—particularly for dressers with a bent toward polished dresses, tailored coats, and top-handle bags.
Kate Middleton’s most luxurious outfits favor designers with London ties, from Jenny Packham to Erdem and, of course, Alexander McQueen. But she’s also developed a knack for high-low moments, incorporating the likes of Zara, Sézane, and & Other Stories into her public engagements. Through every sighting and appearance, she’s favored pieces that elevate classics into something more—something we can’t help but copy.
After combing through Kate Middleton’s many, many photographed outfits, we’ve gathered 15 of her most-worn—and shoppable—brands. Allow her favorite labels to add some royal energy to your wardrobe, ahead.
Eloise Turtleneck Sweater
Iris & Ink
This under-$200 turtleneck by Iris & Ink has made two appearances in Kate Middleton’s wardrobe lately: first in spruce green for a Royal British Legion video in November 2021, then in camel for a visit to Clitheroe Community Hospital in January 2022. Both times, she paired the sweater with a coordinating skirt. And both times, her outfits reminded us why matching knitwear sets are so good.
The Nano Montreal
DeMellier London
Kate Middleton brought DeMellier’s take on the micro bag trend into her wardrobe last year, for a May 2021 visit to the National Portrait Gallery. We can see why: DeMellier’s clean shapes and responsibly-sourced leather make for a true forever bag.
Favourite Cut Jeans
& Other Stories
This is how the Duchess of Cambridge does denim. The “Favourite” jean by & Other Stories is one of a few selects from the H&M-owned label Kate Middleton has worn to show her casual side. Recent sightings of the straight-leg jeans include a June 2021 trip to the Natural History Museum and her Covid-19 vaccination appointment last May.
Pleated Polka-Dot Midi Dress
London-based designer Alessandra Rich has added a touch of playfulness to Kate Middleton’s royal wardrobe of late. This (on-sale) midi dress blends the silhouette of a printed style Kate Middleton wore last fall with the polka dots she chose for Wimbledon 2021.
14k Gold Plated Twist Hoop Earrings
ASOS Design
ASOS is another high street name Kate Middleton has returned to for outfit after outfit—for its dainty twisted hoops, at least. This impulse-buy pair has featured in looks from her October 2021 Action on Addiction Campaign event to an appearance at the Victoria & Albert museum last May. ASOS just restocked the earrings this month, but they’ll likely sell out quick.
Double Breasted Coat
Holland Cooper
Double-breasted coats are Kate Middleton’s first choice for outerwear, whether they’re in solid jewel tones or prints. Last fall, she added Holland Cooper’s tartan coat to her lineup for a video appearance. But the print itself wasn’t brand-new: She’s been spotted in variations of Holland Cooper’s print throughout the years.
Ribbed Cashmere Sweater
Alexander McQueen
Alexander McQueen has the most famous association with Duchess Kate’s wardrobe: Sarah Burton designed her heart-stopping wedding gown under the label. It’s also the name Kate Middleton turned to for her 40th birthday portraits. But Alexander McQueen has also played a role in her (slightly) more relaxed looks, in the form of sweaters and coats. While many of her ready-to-wear picks are no longer available for purchase, this gray sweater is close to a knit she wore in 2021.
Adult Reusable Cotton Mask
Amaia London
When Kate Middleton masks up, she often turns to Amaia London’s floral print coverings. They’re plenty in stock in a number of fun prints—just make sure you’re layering with a KN95 per the latest CDC and FDA recommendations.
Mini Pyramid Charm Hoop Earrings
Remember that all-over-caramel outfit Kate Middleton wore early in January? She complimented her neutral knitwear and coat with Missoma’s rhodochrosite hoops. This pair may be rough around the edges, but the baby pink stones are a sweet touch we’d wear often. So would Middleton: Her Missoma charm earrings featured in a number of her Zoom engagement outfits in 2021.
Milano Knit Trouser
When Kate Middleton does tailored separates, Jigsaw’s trousers are usually in the mix. Most recently, she wore her navy pair for one of her first engagements of 2022, a visit to the Foundling Museum. Her exact trousers are no longer in stock, but Jigsaw’s knit version is an equally polished alternative.
Larsson Neutral Double Breasted Twill Blazer
Of the many Reiss items Kate has chosen for royal engagements—and there have been a lot–the khaki blazer she chose for a visit to RAF Brize Norton, a Royal Air Force base, in September 2021, was our top pick. On Kate, it was all business with her aforementioned Jigsaw trousers and suede pumps. You can copy her look piece-for-piece, or dress this blazer down over denim.
2750 Cotu Classic Sneaker
Duchess Kate has shown her laid-back side through sneakers over the years: Vejas, New Balances, and more. But the pair she comes back to across several engagements is a low-top tennis white from Superga.
No Smudge Mascara
Details about Kate Middleton’s makeup routine are sparse, but she’s reportedly a devout Bobbi Brown user—including her entire wedding makeup look. This top-rated mascara was one standout product among the many included in her wedding day glow. (Reviewers call it their “holy grail” mascara.)
Midi Mayfair Bag
Aspinal of London
Royal watchers have clocked two Mayfair bags by Aspinal of London in Duchess Kate’s wardrobe: This blush top-handle edition and its black crocodile twin, which both made their first appearances in 2018. They’re still a go-to silhouette for mini bag lovers four years later.
Define Performance Jacket
Kate Middleton has had a number of sporty engagements, like her tennis outing with reigning U.S. Open champion Emma Raducanu or her visit to the City of Derry Rugby Club on her tour of Northern Ireland. For the latter trip, she pulled on Lululemon’s flexible jacket to stop by the rugby pitch. It’s a breathable, but tailored option whether you’re hitting the track, field, or court. (If you want the same look with a little more color, the Define jacket is on-sale in additional shades.)
