Princess of Wales Cements Sleek Casual Suit Trend

Jan 20

She started 2022 as the Duchess of Cambridge wearing elegant gowns, relaxed jeans and sleek casual two-piece suits. Now in 2023, the Princess of Wales has already cemented one of her clear fashion trends for the coming year. When it comes to tailoring, Kate always looks immaculately put together with every seam and stitch sitting in its ideal location creating a polished modern princess aesthetic. Last year she debuted a myriad of these ensembles, often accompanied by a pussy bow blouse, turtleneck or simply a plain white t-shirt.

Knowing how to put together an outfit that is appropriate for a formal workplace that does not feel too formal or too stuffy can often be a challenge, but Kate shows us exactly how to master the task! While on an engagement at Hampton Court Palace yesterday, the Princess re-wore a burgundy Roland Mouret set that she first debuted in Boston back in December of 2022. While in December she matched it with a baby pink pussy bow blouse, this time she went for a more casual style wearing a cream light knit crew jumper instead. However, much like last time (and most of her outfits), she wore a pair of heels in almost the exact same shade as the suit aiding to elongate her silhouette and create an unfussy outfit.

If you’re looking to emulate Kate’s style in your formal or casual wardrobe this year, here are some options for you!
