If you're a regular reader ofBest Knockoff Luxury Clothing , you're probably well acquainted with Kate Middleton's wardrobe. She dresses pretty classically, but occasionally she'll surprise us with something a bit different. The list of the designers she often turns to is pretty definite: often Alexander McQueen and Jenny Packham and occasionally Erdem, Emilia Wickstead, and Roksanda. But it's not just the more expensive end of the spectrum she's a fan of. She regularly wears high-street pieces from a range of brands, from Superga sneakers to Other Stories dresses. But, and I'm going to put my stake in the ground here, her favorite store has to be Zara.
For years she's worn pieces from the high-street brand and always makes them look super expensive. She recently attended a Euros game with Prince William and Prince George and she wore a red tweed Zara jacket—her version of a football shirt.

This made me wonder about all the other times that she's worn the Spanish mega-brand and the pieces she always wears over all the others. My theory is that she always shops for the basics so they look more expensive. But then when it comes to accessories, she'll always go a bit more left-field and experiment. Keep scrolling for your guide to shopping at Zara like Kate Middleton.

Other Times Kate Wore Zara:
Style Notes: The Duchess of Cambridge knows that Zara is a great place to find fun but chic accessories such as this headband. It's a great way to freshen up an otherwise more conservative look.
Style Notes: Culottes are a relatively new regular addition to K-Mid's wardrobe, but we're into them. These classic black ones are the kind you could genuinely wear to the office as well as the beach.
Style Notes: The Duchess of Cambridge has form when it comes to wearing blazers from the high street store. This blue one with gold buttons is one of her favourites that she's regularly repeated.
Style Notes: This might have been from 2011 when Kate was off on her honeymoon post royal wedding, but it's proof that she's always loved the brand's dresses and its more basic pieces.
