Kate Middleton is still serving up all the at-home wardrobe inspo we will ever need, so here are her best looks to shop
There’s a lot to love about Kate Middleton: her hair, her adorable family and her calming nature. But most of all? We love her ability to effortlessly nail high-low dressing every. Single. Time. She marries the best of the British high street (Zara is firm Kate favourite) with luxury, designer pieces to create looks which send us straight to sartorial heaven. She gets it so right.
Need proof? Last summer, Kate paired a £1,635 Emilia Wickstead dress with £1.50 (yes, £1.50!) Accessorize drop earrings and a pair of wedges from Monsoon. Genius. Closely following was a harmonious marriage between this quilted Chanel handbag and an on-trend Warehouse (RIP) jumper.
Kate also subscribes to a sustainable approach to fashion (at the same time as remaining trend conscious and style savvy), outfit repeating in an enviable manner.
You get the picture. We love her.
We've swooned over hundreds of Kate’s more formal get-ups over the years (that gown by The Vampire’s Wife always springs to mind), but in total honesty, we never admire her style more than when she’s dressed down and casual. Cast your minds back to the day she wore Marks and Spencer trainers to a Sports Aid event at the Olympic Park. We’ve never rushed to the M&S site faster. And the numerous times we've spotted her on Zoom calls during the Coronavirus crisis, putting our 9:30am work Zoom wet hair and tracksuit combo to shame.
Since our yearning for comfort has grown immeasurably now that we're working from home for the forsesable (seriously - who has time for jeans when it's this hot?), we took it upon ourselves to take a look back through the Kate M archives. Because when we’re stuck in a style rut, there’s no one better to pull us out of it. Predictably, we were greeted by a whole array of isolation-appropriate get-ups, where comfort meets video call cool.
Although most of the pieces Kate has worn are now out of stock (she seems to have that effect), we’ve recreated her looks with a selection of luxury and high street loungewear. You’re very welcome.
Getty ImagesKate paired these very well priced Marks and Spencer trainers with a pair of culottes from Zara (which sold out within seconds - unsurprisingly) and a knitted, round-neck jumper from Mango. As seen at JW Anderson and Victoria Beckham, single-tone dressing is in for the new season, so inject the trend into your loungewear wardrobe with this Karen Millen knitted loungewear set (which is on sale right now, FYI).
Getty ImagesColour pop knits reign supreme this season, and we've hunted down a dupe for the gorgeous coral sweater Kate wore for a kick around the park. Team it with a pair of black yoga leggings for the ultimate work-from-home get-up.
Getty ImagesKate kept things simple with this pair of side stripe tracksuit bottoms and a white training jumper. Weekday is our current go-to for basics like these, and we'll be living in their white hoodie for the forseeable future.
Since we can't get into the gym right now, we're in the market for a new pair of running trainers. The Nike VaporMax Fly Knit trainers get the Kate Middleton seal of approval for good reason - they're bouncy, breathable and super cushioned. You'll be pounding the pavements in no time.
Shop the look...
Getty ImagesRalph Lauren has just dropped a track jacket which looks just like Kate's. It's crafted from soft fleece and features Polo's iconic logo at each sleeve - perfect for all of those (once a day, obvs) walks we're going on.
Getty ImagesWe delved deep into the archives for this Kate Middleton get-up. We'll be updating Kate's coral skinny jeans with a pair of coral-hued yoga leggings (much more comfortable for lounging around all day) and the plain white tee of dreams. Seriously - everyone needs this T-shirt from & Other Stories in their wardrobe.
