Classic tailoring has become a go-to for the Princess of Wales on high-profile engagements. Here, we celebrate some of her best pantsuits over the years.
International tours, formal meetings, or royal receptions, the Princess of Wales is a fan of slipping into suits for a range of public engagements. Her go-to labels for sharp tailoring include Emilia Wickstead and Massimo Dutti (HRH High Street!) but it is her wedding dress designer, Alexander McQueen, which leads the pack, with the princess owning at least a handful of pantsuits by the acclaimed British brand.
Taking a leaf out of Queen Elizabeth II’s rainbow-coloured style bible, Kate is not afraid to experiment with shades. Her pantsuits come in hues from the softest rose to the deepest magenta, although classic shades like polished navy and crisp white have proved her favorites. Here, we look at some of Kate Middleton’s best looks – they really suit her.
