Kate Middleton Brings Back These 5 Trends Every Winter
Every time we get a sighting of Kate Middleton we also gain plenty of outfit inspiration. With winter well and truly here, you can expect to see a lot of stellar winter outfits very soon. However, stellar doesn't have to translate as brand new. Since the Princess of Wales tends to stick to her signature personal style and rely upon classic wardrobe staples she already owns, we have a feeling she'll be bringing back all of her favourite trends from seasons past. In fact, today she stepped out in a checked pleated midi dress that we've seen before.
Another good example? She already resurrected an old, reliable pair of See by Chloé lace-up boots for a function this month—further proof that decent footwear choices do last. She also brings back one specific jacket style every autumn as well as a functional, sporty piece that's very versatile for literally anyone's winter wardrobe, royal or not. Scroll down to shop Middleton's go-to autumnal pieces.
1. Lace-Up Boots
Middleton clearly enjoys the See by Chloé lace-up boots that she has worn for several years now. She almost always styles hers with skinny jeans and a blazer or jacket. These hiking boots have their moments where they are more fashionable, but in general, they've become a kind of staple.

So much craftsmanship has gone into this pair.
If you're not sure where to start when it comes to boots, Dr. Martens is a safe bet every time.
2. Utility Jacket + Tall, Flat Boots
Middleton is a creature of habit when it comes to one specific outfit formula. She loves wearing army-green utility jackets with her flat Penelope Chilvers boots that she has worn for over a decade. It doesn't get any more British than this outfit.

3. Tweed
The Princess of Wales also likes to revisit tweed pieces every autumn. She owns skirt suits, dresses and blazers in the seasonal fabric and always styles it to perfection.

I hadn't considered a tweed dress for my Christmas parties but this dress might just change that.
4. Puffer Jacket
The most relatable trend in this story? Middleton's penchant for puffer jackets. She particularly likes to wear them when she attends sporty events that involve running or hiking.
You'll be surprised at how warm this lightweight jacket really is.
5. Black Suede Heeled Boots
Last but not least, Middleton always styles her knee-high suede heeled boots with a midi-length dress and coat for cold weather.

Erin got her start as aBest Knockoff Luxury Clothing intern over 13 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 Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton stories). She spends her days trying to incorporate her idols, Anna Wintour and Roger Federer, into as many stories as possible. Outside of work, she loves tennis, classic rock, traveling, and smothering her dog with affection.
