Kate Middleton, regarded as one of Europe’s most glamorous royals, knows a thing or two about putting together the perfect desk-to-daywear look — and her winter wardrobe is a thing of beauty.
Kate is a creative genius when it comes to layering, from colorful coats to statement knitwear and lovely dresses, so we’ve picked together her coziest winter looks. From tartan scarves to knee-high boots and fitted trench coats, get inspired and bundle up toasty this season.
The Duchess of Cambridge is a major fan of Alexander McQueen, and she wore this blue and green tartan dress coat to the formal opening of the V&A Museum in Dundee, Scotland, in 2019. The queen looked lovely in her checkered one-piece, which she paired with thick black stockings, black suede court shoes, and a green micro purse.
At the “Taking Action on Addiction” campaign in October 2021, Duchess Kate looked stunning in this trendy yet classic attire. The combination of a sleek roll neck and a pleated skirt was one of our favorites.
Kate looked gorgeous in a stunning green Alessandra Rich dress with a high neckline, peplum waist, and a subtle black swirl pattern as she disembarked from the plane at Dublin International Airport. She wore an emerald Catherine Walker coat, matching shoes, and a bright green suede purse from one of her favorite labels, L.K.Bennett, to kick off the royal tour of Ireland in style.
Kate dressed up for a visit to the Scouts’ headquarters in Gilwell Park, Essex, and gave a tutorial in off-duty wearing. She finished her look with black Zara jeggings and a Barbour wax jacket, recycling her maroon J Crew Mockneck Sweater in Supersoft Yarn.

The 39-year-old wore a Holland Cooper coat with blue, green, and purple coloring, gold buttons, and a big belt that cinched her in at the waist. Kate’s looping sapphire set, which she accessorized with a pair of droplet earrings on loan from the Queen, was initially gifted to Her Majesty when she toured the Gulf States in 1979.
In 2017, the Duchess wore a brilliant red blazer to visit RAF Wittering, adding a splash of color to the bleak winter days. The mother-of-three wore a black turtleneck, thin jeans, and knee-high boots to complete her beautiful attire, which included a military-style jacket by Philosophy di Lorenzo Serafini.

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge paid a visit to Cardiff Castle in December 2020 as part of their working travel throughout the UK, and we couldn’t take our gaze away from Kate’s ensemble. The royal recycled her pleated tartan Emilia Wickstead skirt, which she first wore in 2019 to throw a Christmas party at Kensington Palace with Prince William, giving off strong seasonal vibes. She completed her ensemble with a black roll-neck sweater, heeled Ralph Lauren boots, and an Alexander McQueen bold red coat.
Kate wore a cricket-style pullover, black skinny jeans, and navy shoes to a soccer drill session at Windsor Park Stadium in Belfast, keeping things casual.
The mother-of-three wore a blue blazer, green ribbed shirt, Zara culottes, and Marks & Spencer lace-up sneakers to a SportsAid event to show off her athletic abilities. Her Monica Vinader earrings and Daniela Draper’s “GCL” inscribed necklace completed her look.
Kate Middleton is absolutely gorgeous. I admire her very, very much. She and William have a beautiful family.
