The Duchess of Cambridge's Daytime Fashion Part 29: October 2020 - July 2021

[An Ard Ri]

I have to admit I don't like it as it is far too matronly for her. Even Camilla's blouse looks less fussy than that.

I agree I'm not a fan either and it reminds me of a 70's pajamas pattern.

 

[Elly C]

Blouse is okay, certainly better than the collared look from last week. I do agree that she wears prints that can be ageing.

The duchess looks lovely and a really nice hairstyle too.

 

[Erin9]

I really like the pink blouse. It’s a good color on her.

Not that I want to trivialise what Kate had to say in her early years speech, but the royal blue dress she is wearing was last seen for her first public speech at EACH in Norfolk not long after they were married, and is meant to have been borrowed from her mother.

That's a really nice jacket and look on the duchess,very smart.

 

[Frelinghighness]

I like the use of blazers in the last three looks. The pink sweater and navy blazer is a very good combo for her (and most people). Mauve and white very pretty and the crew necklines suit her very well, especially with the pretty gold necklace. navy dress and white blazer another winner. Good working uniforms for her.
The early childhood issue is so important, kudos.

 

[MsJulie]

I like the layering outfits Kate wears as it makes her look healthy. Som clothes make her look way to thin. The kids must be keeping her up at night. She looks tired in the pictures but has a smile on her face.

[Mademoiselle Lilo]

I find her last outfits very appropriate and elegant,very nicely chosen

 

[Countessmeout]

Ugh another giant bow At least the color is nice.

I really like her last few blazer looks. Sleek, professional, age appropriate

 

[Frelinghighness]

Very pretty purple blouse for her.

 

[An Ard Ri]

I really love the colour and I don't mind the bow,the duchess is beautifully styled.

 

[Elly C]

I agree she always looks sleek and polished but I find myself liking her choices less and less. It’s not that there is anything that jars , indeed she can look pretty good in most things, it’s just a bit too safe and fairly predictable. I wish she would occasionally experiment a little more. Just one thing -perhaps a statement piece of jewellery or a more layered look would make a world of difference . However, given the type of engagements she has been undertaking recently, I appreciate it would be ill judged to draw attention away from the serious nature of the causes she is backing. I just don’t enjoy her style right now.

 

[HereditaryPrincess]

A nice colour for Catherine. It would've been nice to get a better view of the outfit but from what I can see, she looks good.

I think you are right, these are neither the events nor the times to draw attention to her clothes or jewellery.

I think it is good that she seems to have perfected a certain classic look that works for her. Some feel that she can dress "younger", but I think a lot of her restraint may, in part, be a nod to her position. That said, I think in recent years, she has been far more experimental, all within the confines of her self defined boundries. I would certainly like to see her introduce more jewellery into her repetoire, but she has again demosntrated that when required, she can step up her game in that department.

 

[Countessmeout]

People are going to talk about her clothes no matter what.

She isn't dressing like this so she 'doesn't take attention from the pandemic'. She is dressing like this because this has been her style for the past decade, and she has no desire to change it. Upside eventually her age will match her style in a decade or so.

I guess if trying a new pattern to her same style dress or blouse, is 'experimenting' I guess she has.

I dislike the print. I find it awful.

McQueen coat for the Duchess tonight

 

[HereditaryPrincess]

Catherine looks gorgeous in that coat. I like her mask, too!

 

[An Ard Ri]

Catherine looks gorgeous in that coat. I like her mask, too!

Its almost festive looking with the green and tartan!

 

[Erin9]

I like the green coat. I love her scarf. So festive!

 

[Countessmeout]

The scarf is beautiful.

The coat is her usual meh style.

 

[TLLK]

I wonder if it's the Alexander McQueen coat that she wore in January 2020 when the Cambridges traveled to Bradford?

[Countessmeout]

The scarf is her Maple leaf tartan scarf she wore in Canada. By York scarves

I think it is the coat used previously on the trip to Bradford.
