“Experimental” and “daring” are two words you don’t normally associate with the style choices of the British royal family.
With Buckingham Palace’s unofficial sensible and modest dress code, it’s not easy to create a stylish, signature look but one royal who manages to find a way is the Duchess of Cambridge.
While she may possess a surfeit of fascinators and structured peplums, she also has a sartorial secret weapon she employs to vivify her wardrobe - and it’s never more evident than in the winter months.
Colour. Vibrant, bold, dazzling colour. Blue is her go-to colour and as soon as the temperature drops, Kate’s coats take a decidedly azure turn. From cerulean to cyan and navy to ice blue, the Duchess has a collection of brilliant blue coats she rotates through the colder months. If you fancy adding a regal cobalt touch to your own winter roster of coats, here are a bunch we’re sure Kate would be most delighted with.
