Classic, sophisticated and elegant: Kate Middleton's passion for monochrome caps and hats

The name of the Duchess of Cambridge can be synonymous with covers that they make at the same time as dresses, the hybrid fashion item that gives a certain degree of sparkle to the public appearance of royalty even on windy days. With her classic, sophisticated and elegant style, Kate Middleton manages to continue to surprise with her demeanor and grace at all the events she attends.

Recently, on St. Patrick's Day she was present with Prince William at a fashion show held in Aldershot, London, with a fashion bet that stole all eyes. And days ago, at the Commonwealth Day service at Westminster Abbey, Middleton once again demonstrated his penchant for monochrome ensembles with matching hats. On that occasion, he put together a Klein blue team, again with a long cover as a dress, with a fitted silhouette and buttons.

Thanks to long-lasting relationships with British fashion designer and fashion brand creative director Alexander McQueen and Said Cyrus, the man behind Catherine Walker & Co, Kate's selection of custom coats ranges from impeccable military styles to versions men's double breasted and caped fantasies in a heterogeneous mix of tones. Covers-dresses have become his secret weapon, painting an image of a woman who remains impeccable regardless of the weather or the particular royal duty she is performing.

When commissioned to visit Sweden's National Association for Suicide Research and Mental Health Prevention in 2018, Kate wore a 1960s style houndstooth Catherine Walker style coat that indicated a level of self-assurance in the face of delicate conversations. For the 75th anniversary of the RAF Cadets in 2016, the Duchess attached an Air Cadets Dacre brooch to a sky blue McQueen coat that honored her work without seeming exaggerated.

Kate's coats also reflect the personality behind the public figure. To meet the Queen's Scouts in 2013, the mother of three walked through the gardens of Windsor Castle in a cheerful Mulberry coat with flower buttons that referred to her love of nature. I n the 2018 Christmas Day church service in Sandringham, when all eyes were on her and her new sister-in-law, the Duchess of Sussex, placed an oak leaf brooch on her berry-colored Catherine Walker coat. The fauna represented the coat of arms of the Middleton family and brought a portion of Kate's history to another well-documented time for the monarchy.

Recently, Kate added several new coats to her wardrobe, from a gray princess coat, again from Walker, for a solo visit to Copenhagen to an emerald green military style from contemporary couture brand Laura Green London for a St. Patrick's Day parade. He also opted for a sophisticated blue ensemble that he complemented with a matching pillbox hat and navy blue heels for the Commonwealth Day Service days ago.

But Kate isn't the only monochrome fan in the royal family. Queen Elizabeth II herself is a big fan of solo color outfits and has even been said to wear outfits during royal outfits so she can easily be seen in the crowd.

While typical Middleton fashion garments used to include feminine silhouettes, printed blouses, skinny jeans and high heels, she is now starting to wear bolder colors, one of the many things the UK monarch is known for.
