Princess Perfect - Style yourself like Kate Middleton

We just love the amazing job that Kate Middleton…now Princess Catherine Elizabeth is styling herself.    A classic chic and modern look that mixes not only designer brands but also brands for the everyday girl.  She puts her spin on a classic approach, with a chic, less is more look. Here are a few ideas on how you too can have her style...

The LBD

Start with the form fitting LBD, which in Kate’s case is the Little Bold Dress. Try bright colors like blue, purple, red and green, or a patterned wrap. While you may not be able to snag Kate’s engagement dress from Issa (it’s been sold out everywhere since the November 16th wedding announcement), there are quite a few options other options to choose from. Our favourite is Diane von Furstenberg Silk Jersey Wraps, now at Westfield Sydney, the store has a beautiful variety of printed wrap dress options to help you look royally divine!

Blazer

A staple every woman should have in her closet is a tailored blazer. Replicate Kate’s look by finding a tailored, neutral colored blazer that nips at the waist. This look is flattering on every body shape because it defines your waist and shows off a feminine figure. Pair it with the aforementioned LBD or casually over a t-shirt with jeans. 


Go to Zara at Westfield Sydney, Arthur Galan or Saba for a selection of blazers both casual and dressy.

Denim
Kate’s often seen out and about in dark denim cigarette cut jeans, often  tucked into her black to-the-knee boots. Our advice is to wear dark denim in a cut most flattering for your figure type. Always, ensure that they’re slimming and figure hugging, but classic and not trend driven. Look for Paige denim, J Brand or AG Adriano Goldshmeid Jeans for the most flattering and stylish in denim.

Pumps
Whilst we are firm believers that a woman can never have too many pairs of shoes, it’s best to start with the basics. Like Kate, you should own a pair of classic black and nude pumps. They are elegant, go with everything from jeans to dresses, and elongate your ladylike legs. Check out Christian Louboutin Rolando Leather $695. Or try Nat-Sui who do beautiful quality pumps.

Trench Coat

A classic trench is a must for Kate’s wardrobe in misty London and a must-have for your collection. One of Kate’s favorites, Burberry, has a beautiful beige trench with a double leather chin strap that is absolutely stunning $1,595. There are many other options a little more reasonable in price from Karen Millen at Westfield Sydney, they have some gorgeous trench coats in there.
