Princess Catherine has brought one of her most enduring wardrobe staples back into the spotlight, and shoppers can still buy its new-season successor. The Princess of Wales, 44, was seen wearing her grey Jigsaw City Coat, a piece from a past season.
Jigsaw has refreshed the signature design for autumn in midnight navy. The Wool Maxi City Coat costs £389 and is the latest version of a silhouette the British brand first created 12 years ago. This season marks the 64th iteration of the coat, with the newest version cut to a super-maxi length while keeping a clean, understated shape.
Design details and availability
Crafted from 100% wool, the coat is fully lined with long sleeves and a simple cut. It is currently available in sizes 6 to 18, and also in a khaki colour. The midnight-blue shade works with jeans, knitwear, and office tailoring, and offers a softer alternative to classic black.
At £389, the coat is an investment, but Catherine's own use of outerwear over 12 years makes a case for spending more on lasting pieces.
Grey alternatives to Princess Kate's coat
For those seeking Catherine's exact grey colour palette for less, two high-street alternatives offer a similar longline look. The grey double-faced coat from Whistles costs £299 and features a high neckline, a longline wool-blend cut, and a slightly relaxed silhouette. It comes in regular sizes 4 to 20, with a petite cut also available, plus a burnt orange option.
The grey wool coat from Mango costs £139.99 and offers an oversized, double-breasted cut with wide lapels and dropped shoulders. It comes in sizes XXS to XXL and several colourways, including a soft oatmeal. Both styles aim to recreate the Princess's tonal formula.
