Royal enthusiasts are flocking to ASOS to purchase a pair of white linen trousers that closely mirror the style worn by Princess Kate. The Stradivarius trousers, priced at £29.99, offer a budget-friendly alternative to the Princess of Wales's Alexander McQueen trousers, which retail for £790.
Princess Kate's Original Look
According to Woman and Home, the Princess of Wales wore the Alexander McQueen trousers during a visit to Belize in 2022, pairing them with a blood-orange-toned jacket. The publication noted that the trousers were high-waisted and wide-leg, and that the future Queen often opts for wide-leg and flared-leg tailored trousers.
Features of the ASOS Alternative
The Stradivarius trousers feature a straight, wide leg in a regular fit, made of linen. They come with belt loops and an included brown belt. The product description states: "Barcelona-born clothing brand Stradivarius moves to its own beat. With an eye for minimalism and trend-led detail, expect classic silhouettes and a neutral colour palette (with the odd print thrown in for good measure)."
The trousers are available in multiple colours: white, brown, purple, black, pale yellow, and beige. Sizes range from UK 4 to 16.
Shopper Reviews
The white trousers are selling out quickly. One happy customer shared: "Lovely trousers, not too see-through, but you should stick to nude pants just in case. The belt is very nice." However, another shopper commented: "Washed once as instructed, and they have come away at the seam." ASOS advises that the trousers can be machine-washed but shoppers must pay attention to the care label instructions.
Styled with Princess Kate's Colour Palette
For a look inspired by the Princess's blazer, shoppers can pair the trousers with a blood-orange top. ASOS sells the Topshop asymmetric twist detail top in orange for £20, down from £25. For a neutral option, a New Look white boat-neck button-through tank top is available for £12.
Alternative white trousers include Marks & Spencer's Patch Pocket Straight Leg Trousers for £40, made from cotton-rich corduroy, and Nobody's Child White Pleated Wide Leg Trousers for £35, which are also selling out fast.
