Princess Kate has a timeless look when it comes to fashion – she’s not afraid to switch it up, to experiment with different colours and styles and make it work.
The Princess of Wales, much like the late Queen, is a fan of a bit of colour. The mum-of-three is especially partial to a pop of red.
The 42-year-old royal has been pictured many times in red items of clothing, including favoured Alexander McQueen pieces as well as one scarlet LK Bennet coat that screams style and luxury.
But the cosy number will set shoppers back around £599 at Selfridges and presumably most people don’t want to fork out fees that could be used to cover rent on one item of clothing.
Thankfully there is a chic red coat dupe available at Boden for those who want to mimic the princess’s look without breaking the bank.
This Chichester Texcutred Coat in the shade ‘high risk red’ is the perfect statement piece that even Princess Kate could be spotted in.
The coat also comes in different lengths, in petite or regular, this midi number comes in a wide range of sizes, spanning 4 to 22, so there’s something for everyone.
This chic red number was available at a pretty decent discount, with £55 slashed off its original £220 price, going down to £165. However, that is no longer the case as all that demand has restored the coat to its original price.
It might still be a pretty price to pay for a coat but the look also comes in diverse colours, in case you aren’t seeking such a vibrant shade. It comes with other colourways to choose from, including a dark, burgundy/purple, camel, navy and forest green.
The coat is lined with silk that features a black-and-white map of London, for that extra nod to the royal icon.
But understandably, you may want something that takes inspiration from Princess Kate but is dramatically cheaper. Pull & Bear has a Long felt texture coat in red for £59.99 which is pretty close to the princess’s look.
Meanwhile Bonmarche is selling a Long Faux Wool Funnel Neck Coat in red for £45.00.
Dorothy Perkins is also selling a similar Curve Longline Belted Coat, on sale from £90 to £58.50 but it doesn’t come in red, though it is available in purple, another colour the Princess of Wales has been spotted in.
