The Princess of Wales is a contemporary style icon whose fashion choices, from a casual Barbour jacket to a striking red tailored suit, often trigger the 'Kate effect' and sell out quickly. While luxury labels like Erdem and Stella McCartney appear in her wardrobe, she frequently pairs them with affordable high street pieces, creating a look that is both accessible and aspirational.
Brands such as Rixo, Barbour, Ghost, With Nothing Underneath, and Boden are regulars in her rotation. Reiss blazers and Veja Esplar trainers in white with metallic are synonymous with the royal. For accessories, DeMellier is a recent favourite, and she owns at least four bags from Strathberry. She also swaps Cartier for affordable styles from Missoma, Orelia, and Accessorize.
With Nothing Underneath is beloved for its crisp shirts, and Kate has worn their white boyfriend shirt and light brown jura cardigan. Jigsaw is a regular sighting, with tailored suits, grey coats, and wide-leg trousers. Barbour has a long royal history; Kate has reworn her defence wax jacket countless times since 2012.
Ralph Lauren is a go-to, from a khaki blazer to a striped shirt. Kiltane offers luxurious cashmere; Kate has worn their roll neck jumper in burgundy and crew neck in cream. Reiss designs sleek pieces; she wore their Nanette dress for her engagement photo in 2010. Accessorize provides affordable jewellery, and she has been spotted in their earrings.
