Kate Middleton's Best Sweater Outfits, Ranked by 8 Superlatives
Not many people would turn down the chance to raid Kate Middleton's closet. The Duchess of Cambridge has quite the enviable wardrobe, including her famous Alexander McQueen wedding dress, various pieces of jewelry from Princess Diana, tiaras from Queen Elizabeth, and the list goes on. But not every enviable outfit is quite so fancy.
In fact, I most look forward to her casual looks because they are representations of her real-life personal style. Today, I'm focusing on one item, in particular: sweaters. She has worn cardigans with midi skirts, cable knits with skinny jeans, boleros with dresses, and turtlenecks with army jackets—just to name a few of her favorite combos. Scroll down to shop my favorite Kate Middleton sweater outfits ranked by fashion superlatives.
Most Festive
On Kate Middleton: Brora cardigan; Emilia Wickstead skirt
A far cry from my private school uniform skirt.
Plaid will never go out of style—promise.
Preppiest
On Kate Middleton: Ralph Lauren sweater; New Balance sneakers
This is a dead-ringer for Kate's sweater and is only $20 on Amazon. You know what to do.
Most Iconic
On Kate Middleton: Jenny Packham dress
Kate Middleton changed into this dress-and-cardigan number for her wedding reception, and this H&M sweater looks so similar.
Most Relatable
On Kate Middleton: Barbour jacket
Black skinny jeans can form the foundation of a million different outfits.
Flat lace-up boots are one of the smartest investments if you ask me.
Best Commitment to a Theme
On Kate Middleton: JoosTricot sweater; L.K.Bennett pants; Emmy London shoes
Middleton was attending a sailing regatta, so she dressed accordingly.
Best Color Mixing
On Kate Middleton: Warehouse sweater; Jigsaw culottes; Tod's shoes; Chanel bag
Middleton matched her purple sweater to her heels. Did you catch that?
I wouldn't have thought to mix purple and green, but now I know it's royalty-approved.
Sportiest
On Kate Middleton: Perfect Moment puffer jacket; New Balance sneakers
I own these On running shoes and can attest to the fact that they are incredibly comfortable.
Most 2000s
On Kate Middleton: Penelope Chilvers boots
This two-in-one sweater is practically identical to Kate Middleton's layered look from 2005.
Next, five leggings celebrities always buy for themselves.
Erin got her start as aBest Knockoff Luxury Clothing intern over 14 years ago—back when the site only published a single story per day. (Who What Wear has since increased that number twentyfold.) She graduated magna cum laude from USC, which is how she ended up moving to Los Angeles from her hometown of San Diego. In college, she also interned at Refinery29, where she was promoted to editorial assistant and then assistant editor. After nearly three years at R29, she came back to WWW in 2016, where she currently holds the title of Associate Director of Fashion News (as well as the unofficial title of resident royal expert—in case you haven't noticed her numerous Kate and Meghan stories). She spends her days trying to incorporate her idols, Anna Wintour and Roger Federer, into as many stories as possible.
