As Princess Kate Middleton (Princess of Wales, Kate Middleton) becomes more and more important in the British royal family, her appearance in many public occasions will surely become the focus. However, compared to the elegance and romance in the past, Princess Kate’s recent appearance has become more and more important. The shape seems a little different? Back in the day, Sarah Harris, deputy editor-in-chief of British Vogue, wrote at the time that she hoped Princess Kate would wear “more suits…such as high-waisted wide trousers paired with long blazers.” Perhaps, this is a small suggestion. Did it really reach Kate’s ears?

Kate Middleton’s wardrobe at Windsor Castle is bound to feature an array of midi skirts and knee-length dresses in garish prints, polka dots and cheerful, bold colors – at least for the past 10 years, when the much-anticipated royal has Members wear this informal uniform when visiting schools and charity centers across the UK. But now that she is the Princess of Wales, the basis of her look is no longer an elegant midi skirt with a belt, but replaced by a pair of tailored trousers.

Since September, Princess Kate has worn almost ten sets of slim-fitting suits with similar styles. Not only that, she has not been photographed in a dress by the media since the Wimbledon final in July. . Recently, when visiting the community center in Bracknell, Princess Kate wore a plain white shirt, a pair of tailored gray trousers, and a slate gray knitted vest from Samantha Cameron’s formal wear brand Cefinn.

“Let’s face it! Imagine that when you are Princess Kate, even if you have all kinds of help and advice around you, the simple matter of getting dressed will become very difficult.” Sarah, Deputy Editor-in-Chief of the British Edition Harris writes about the process of dressing up for the royal family, “First, forget about unruly slits or collars that require constant attention. Second, you can never please everyone. Because, as the future king’s wife and royal heir, Being your mother means that the whole world is watching and scrutinizing you at all times.”

As the most-watched member of the British royal family for years, Kate responded to the scrutiny by paring down her work wardrobe into a series of well-tailored suits that are so versatile that they can be paired with a shirt. Or a plain white T-shirt. Kate prefers high-waisted trousers – either shorts or trousers – as well as longer suits with button details. Pointed leather shoes (usually suede leather shoes that match the color of her suit) are the finishing touch. Whether she wears Alexander McQueen, Sezane, Holland Cooper, Burberry or Roland Mouret, the tailoring style she chooses is very similar ( Slim-fitting cropped trousers or wide-legged trousers), only available in a variety of colors and prints.

The suit is an excellent choice for the contemporary woman: it is sophisticated, aesthetically timeless, and practical at the same time.

Princess Kate, who wears a suit, does not have to sew heavy objects on the hem of her skirt like the late Queen Elizabeth II did to prevent it from being blown away by the strong wind when she goes out. They are not as easy to wrinkle as dresses, and the cut and material of suit pants make it easier to shape and maintain their appearance than other items. Therefore, suits themselves are a very wise choice. Another implication is that this more down-to-earth, functional look also reinforces the message that the wearer – like Kate and Prince William – is working hard. One final benefit: Wearing different versions of the same outfit makes it easier to shift the focus to Kate’s high-profile career, rather than constantly revisiting her wardrobe.

It’s not just Kate who has fallen into the suit trend, in the fashion world, “dressing like you work in a highly competitive law firm” has become a theme for the 2024 spring and summer series.

It explored the dressing characteristics of the high-end business class, not just the usual pinstripes and gray and navy colors: the pen was tied to the tie. , tucked into a bun to fix the hair, and a square and neat briefcase and a textured leather bag are indispensable.

Bottega Veneta also launched a black Power Suit with high shoulder lines this season, while extra striped shirts and rolled newspapers were stuffed into XL intrecciato woven shopping bags. The accessories for spring and summer 2024 also have a trend of work uniforms, such as Miu Miu’s nerdy glasses and huge handbags that can hold laptops and replacement shoes.

This year’s new “CorpCore” will bring more inspiration to Princess Kate and the entire fashion industry.
