Even with strict formalities, conventions, and protocols, the women of the British Royal family have always found ways to showcase their playfulness, fierceness, and individuality. From Queen Elizabeth's different coloured tweed outfits with brooches and hats to the iconic revenge dress of Princess Diana, they have given us many significant moments that defy the norms within the limited space of propriety. And as much of a statement monochrome suit sets are, it was Kate Middleton who really reintroduced the mix of relatable chic street fashion in the House of Royals. The Princess of Wales embraces all kinds of silhouettes, spotted in dresses, blazers, jeans, fancy gowns, and coat dresses, with fun patterns and colours, and has a balanced mix of luxury and mid- to high-end brands in her wardrobe like Zara, Marks & Spencers, and even Top Shop. Her style is very easy to replicate, and here are seven looks that you can easily recreate and dress like royalty (while also keeping your ethics intact).

Midi Dress With Cinched Waist

When Princess Catherine is not attending foreign officials or some other event, she is mostly spotted in midi dresses with floral patterns and easy-flowing fabric. This kind of dress looks stunning on an array of body types and is sophisticated, and the cinched waist gives it structure. You can find plenty of renditions of this dress, in most affordable brands. Pair them with wedges for a full brunch-appropriate look.

Blazer And Pencil Skirt

This is a royal staple and one of the princess' favourites. A cropped blazer with skirt is another great fit to balance the proportions of your bottom-wear. To really make it a palace fit, you must focus on the material and fabric; opt for tweed for the top and high-quality, flowy silhouettes for the bottom (go for a cotton blend or a knit skirt). Minimal accessories, and a solid-coloured handbag is a classic choice to complete the look.

Coat Dress

A coat dress is a great, simple option, and Princess Catherine also seems to love the convenience of them. Coat dresses are great for formal events because they are easy to style, easily available on the market, and channel the old money aesthetic. If you are looking to amp up your workwear wardrobe, then this style would prove to be a great addition.

Fitted Blazers And Tailored Pants

This look of the princess is right out of the many outfits of Princess Diana, who loved to wear slightly casual formal-wear. There are many looks Kate that could be seen as an homage to Princess Diana and one easy example would be how she wore a blue dress to announce her engagement to the world. Fitted Blazers, along with tailored pants are Princess' classic workwear outfits, and she rocks them with utmost confidence. This style also creates a classic, balanced flow on the body, and looks sophisticated, perfect for formal events and occasions.

Rocking Polka Dots

Another very significant influence of Princess Diana on Princess Catherine's style would be polka dots. Princess Diana during an interview wore a polka dot dress, and that became the most-searched dress of that time. Princess Catherine also rocks quite a lot of polka-dots and often inculcates them in her dresses.Polka dot dresses are quite common today, but if you choose the right fabric and structure, they look very elegant and give a very old-money look.
