If there is one item in her wardrobe that the Princess of Wales looks glorious in, it's the mighty blazer. The wife of Prince William has a huge collection of delightful styles from an array of shops.
Kate has sported tailored styles from high street store Zara and even hugely expensive numbers from Blaze Milano.

Kate knows that if she wants instant classic vibes, adding a blazer means zero effort.

After all, they don't call it the 'Kate Effect' for nothing, do they?

Back in December, Princess Anne's daughter, 43, was spotted wearing the 'Battista' pinstripe blazer from Veronica Beard - a single-breasted style that was worn done up over a sumptuous satin blouse. It's such a classic look and a great print on the mother-of-three.

Although Prince Andrew's daughter is known for her incredible taste in dresses, she does sport a blazer from time to time. Memorably in 2022, the now pregnant royal looked lovely at Annabel's in Mayfair, wearing a simple black top and a beautiful satin skirt by Reiss. She topped the look off with a shapely black blazer.

Earlier this week, newly 60-year-old Sophie visited Dogs for Autism in Alton, Hampshire, a charity that provides assistance dogs to autistic people of all ages, looking so elegant in an 80s style, longline navy blazer with uber glam gold statement buttons. A lesson on power dressing right there!

The Duchess of Sussex has always worn blazers, even before she met Prince Harry and starred in the Netflix smash, Suits. One of her most memorable blazer looks was back in 2019, during the royal tour of Australia. The mother-of-two stepped out in a sharp white blazer by Altuzarra, which set her back a cool £1,299. The 'Acacia' blazer was from the brand's 2018 collection and we loved the sleek shape; it gave the Californian-born star the best silhouette.
