These Are the 2024 Trends I Think Princess Kate Would Adore

Princess Kate Middleton is one of the biggest trendsetters regarding royal fashion on the global stage, ushering in concepts like slideshow dressing, colorful outerwear, and even rewearing favorite pieces with updated hemlines and accessories. As a royal family member, her fashion sense tends to be more conservative than flashy, but that doesn't mean the princess is above trying out a few of the more eye-catching trends of 2024

Middleton has already dabbled in several of this year's most visible trends, from semi-sheer fabrics to coquette embellishments like rosettes and bows. Of course, as an alumnus of St Andrews, she has the prep-school trend down to a science and is never one to shy away from a radiant red accent

Given the recent news that the princess will be abstaining from public appearances while she recovers from a recent surgical procedure, we thought it might be fun to pull some fun, on-trend pieces that might pique her interest come spring. Please join us in sending our good wishes, and keep scrolling to check out the five trends we think Princess Kate will embrace throughout the rest of the year.
