02:53 May 17, 2022
'In this video, we’re going to examine and dissect Kate Middleton’s style, so you, too can dress to royal perfection, especially when wearing a hat.   MORE THAN ANYTHING, PRINCESS KATE IS “CLASSIC.” SHE LOVES SIMPLE YET FORM-FITTING SHIFT DRESSES…DRESSES CINCHED AT THE WAIST WITH SOME SORT OF AN AUXILIARY BELT OR ONE THAT’S PART OF THE DESIGN…A-LINE SKIRTS AND DRESSES…LACE….AND FLORAL PRINTS. YOU GET THE IDEA.  KATE IS ALSO BIG FAN OF BLUE! SHE WEARS MONOCHROMATIC BLUE LOOKS WITH HATS…SHE WEARS ROYAL BLUE….NAVY BLUE…. GREEN-BLUE…CORNFLOWER BLUE…AND SHE WEARS MINT BLUE. EVERY HUE ON THE BLUE SPECTRUM HAS BEEN WORN BY THE DUCHESS OF CAMBRIDGE AT ONE TIME, AND SHE LOOKS WONDERFUL IN THEM ALL.   ONE OF MY FAVORITE ENSEMBLES WAS HER HAT-TO-TOE ROYAL BLUE LOOK BY JENNY PACKHAM WHEN SHE VISITED CANADA.  KATE IS A HUGE FAN OF ALEXANDER MCQUEEN. SHE LOVES THE LINE’S JACKETS, THE JACKET-DRESS HYBRIDS, AND BOTH THE PRINTED AND SOLID KNIT DRESSES. OH AND SHE’S A FAN OF ALEXANDER MCQUEEN WEDDING DRESSES, OF COURSE—BUT YOU ALREADY KNEW THAT. AND KATE’S LOVE IS UNDERSTANDABLE—THE FASHION HOUSE’S SIGNATURE CUTS ELONGATE THE BODY AND CINCH—THEREBY THIN—THE WAIST.   KATE LOVES ITTY BITTY, TINY CLUTCH BAGS. YOU’LL ALMOST NEVER SEE HER WITH A TOTE OR A STRAP. IT’S CLUTCH, CLUTCH, CLUTCH ALL THE WAY. SOMETIMES THE CLUTCH MATCHES THE HAT. AND SOMETIMES THE CLUTCH MATCHES THE BELT OR SHOES, BUT IT ALWAYS COORDINATES BEAUTIFULLY.  AND KATE LIKES HIGH-END AND LESS EXPENSIVE UBIQUITOUS MALL BRANDS…BETTER KNOWN AS “HIGH STREET FASHION” IN THE U.K. SHE LIKES L.K. BENNETT AND REISS (REES), AND FLAWLESSLY PAIRS INEXPENSIVE DRESSES WITH HIGH-PRICED ACCESSORIES, AND VICE VERSA. SHE’S EVEN FAMOUSLY WORN A $35 NECKLACE WITH A THOUSAND-DOLLAR PLUS ROLAND MOURET GOWN TO A FILM PREMIERE.   KATE NEVER GOES SLEEVELESS, SO SHE’S ALWAYS IN CAP SLEEVES, THREE-QUARTER-LENGTH SLEEVES, OR LONG SLEEVES. IF YOU WANT TO DRESS LIKE KATE, COVER UP YOUR SHOULDERS!  FINALLY, KATE MIDDLETON LOVES A GOOD HAT!SHE’S A HUGE LOVER OF SIDE DISCS AND FELT CAPS. WE HARDLY EVER SEE HER IN A FORMAL HAT WITH A FLAT BRIM. SHE WEARS THEM SO WELL, AND ISN’T AFRAID TO EXPERIMENT (WITHIN REASON). SHE’S REALLY NEVER MISSED, AS FAR AS I CAN REMEMBER. EVERY HAT SHE’S EVER WORN HAS BEEN A HOME RUN.  IN THE NEXT VIDEO, WE’LL COVER HOW TO DRESS FOR ROYAL ASCOT’S MOST EXCLUSIVE SEATING, THE ROYAL ENCLOSURE…SO STAY TUNED…AND PLEASE CHECK OUT MY HAT BOUTIQUE, SHAPOH.COM, AND SUBSCRIBE TO MY CHANNEL FOR MORE WEEKLY FASHION TIPS!'
