Kate’s Wardrobe Is Built on Five Clear Rules, Designer Says

Amanda Wakeley argues those rules create a polished silhouette that keeps the princess at the center of royal fashion.

Overview

  • Amanda Wakeley told the Daily Mail that Princess Kate favors long sleeves, higher round necklines, a defined waist, longer skirt lengths, and coordinated tone-on-tone accessories as a steady style formula.
  • Wakeley singled out Kate’s 2011 wedding dress as one of the best recent royal gowns and said its lines exemplify the silhouette she now prefers.
  • The designer noted Kate’s matching hats, shoes and bags echo the late Queen’s tone-on-tone tactic and help create immediately recognisable looks.
  • Wakeley pointed to Kate’s recent appearance at Peter Phillips and Harriet Sperling’s wedding, where a cream tweed dress and wide-brim hat illustrated what she called quintessential “wedding guest chic.”
  • Commentators say those repeated choices, shown across high-profile events from Royal Ascot to international weddings, reinforce royal style traditions and keep Kate influential with designers and the public.
