Get the Kate Middleton Look !

That Dress
Kate Middleton’s most iconic blue draped silk-jersey dress by Issa would set you back a royal £435 but there are many copies on the highstreet:

Tesco £16


Lipsy £50
 
That Trench 
Look for double breasted trench jackets with a belt tie waist in camel or a royal blue colour.
Burberry £650
All Saints £135
That Dress Suit 
Kates original suit was by Italien designer Luisa Spagnoli costing £335 for the jacket and £160 for the skirt. Look for tailored designs in bright colours like the pillar box red kate wore. If you find the striking block colour intimidating just wear one piece toned down with a  black or white shirt.
Luisa Spagnoli £495
L K Bennet £225 £160
Debenhams £35
The Boots
Country leather boots don’t come cheap! Kate middletons Penelope Chivers boots are priced at £443.

Dubarry £295
Next £80

As with many of the royals Tweed is a major part of any wardrobe. Tweed can be expensive but investing in a good quality, well made garment will last you a life time. A shooting jacket provides a more casual look but a tailored jacked gives the effortlessly classic look associated with Kate. Brands like Harris Tweed provide a more fashion forward approach to a British classic particularly their Liberty Freedom collection. Other brands include Joules, Holland & Cooper and a brand donned by Kate Middleton herself, Katherine Hooker.

Style Muse: Kate Middleton

The Royal wedding has been one of the most hotly discussed topics since the announcement of the engagement between Prince William and Kate Middleton. The soon-to-be Mrs. W Windsor, a former University of St. Andrews student, has taken centre stage on the cover of every British newspaper and magazine. The 29 year-old English rose has maintained a demure and sophisticated style and her classic, conservative fashions have been duplicated in copies throughout high street stores. She has featured in Vanity Fair’s international best dressed list and has been named Top Fashion Buzzword of the 2011 season.
Kate Middleton donned this classic beige Burberry
coat whilst visiting Northern Ireland; the £650 trench later sold out !

She chose this vibrant, well tailored suit on a visit
to St Andrews University

This will most likely stay her most iconic look. This flattering,
long sleeved, royal blue Issa dress quickly sold out and inspired
 many highstreet copies.

'Contrast Coat' for her first public appearance with Prince William.



The announcement of their engagement prompted the sell out of this Whistles blouse.
