Whenever we're in need of some fresh sartorial inspiration, the Princess of Wales is always on hand to freshen up our fashion moodboards. Prince William's wife has cemented her status as a style icon, idolised for her effortlessly timeless style agenda with a contemporary flair. The British royal is a constant source of style inspiration.
Right now we're in that awkward phase between autumn and winter, where layering up is a must, yet a heavy-duty coat is too much. The question we ask ourselves every morning is, 'How do I dress for this weather?' Well, fear not, because Princess Kate has us covered.
Back in 2020 (two months before the world went into total lockdown), the Princess joined a workshop run by the National Portrait Gallery's Hospital Programme at Evelina Children's Hospital in London.
She stunned in a preppy black tweed two-piece by Dolce and Gabbana, featuring a fitted double-breasted jacket and a matching flute-hemmed mini skirt. Giving the look an appropriate upgrade for the cold weather months, she added a pair of opaque black tights and finished off with some elegant velvet court heels.

From Sofia Richie and Simone Ashley, to Lila Moss and Keira Knightley, the flared ruffle sewn into the waist or hemline of clothing is back like it's 2012.

Back in 2022, during the Prince and Princess’s royal tour of Belize, Jamaica and The Bahamas, Kate oozed summer chic in a romantic yellow dress featuring a peplum waist and elegant pearl-encrusted button detailing.
Truly, there is no sartorial style Princess Kate can't pull off.
