Dress Like a Duchess: Steal Kate’s Style
So, I was a little obsessed with the phenomenon surrounding the royal wedding and, now, I cant get enough of Duchess Kates style! She just always looks so pulled-together and pretty. But most of all? Her fashion sense is one we can all steal. Its not an expert or stylists handiwork, she does it all herself. So, lets take note of the key pieces in the duchess look and why they work so well.
Tailored dresses. Kates dresses are all very polished. Her color palette is primarily neutrals, and if not then solids, and the frocks create sleek lines which are flattering on any figure. Look for dresses with neat hems, pencil skirts and streamlined details.
Kitten heels. Kitten heels are great things. Theyre still sophisticated and give your leg a little extra definition, but they are waaaay more comfortable. Grab some shortened heels with a pointed toe, or with a thick heel for ultra-comfortable support.
Minimal jewelry. I love the way Kate chooses wreath necklaces, and then just wears her engagement ring and a clutch as accessories. It reminds me of that old rule that you should always take one accessory off before leaving the house. If youre going to a place that will favor a more chic dress code, then consider Kates extra minimalism.
Hats! The duchess frequently kills it in over-the-top fascinators, but you dont have to. Choose a fasinator thats more subdued and looks almost like a sideways hat, or opt for a dark, wide-brimmed hat instead. But do choose a pretty hairpiece, especially if youre going to be outside. It makes the outfit!
Soft make-up. Kate never looks overdone, but never looks underdone either. Walk that fine line by wearing the make-up essentials: an eyeliner in a dark brown, mascara, foundation, neutral lip gloss and pale blush. Thats it! The whole routine should only take you about fifteen minutes, at maximum, and youll look pretty no matter the occasion.
Thats it, kids! Do you adore the duchess look as much as I do? Or is there another royal whose look you admire more? Sound off in the comments.
