Over a few years, Kate Middleton has managed to embed her ‘demure’ style among the locales where somewhere down the fashion road; only heels, mini dresses and deeper neckline are sizzling. Her upside down fashion initiation left quite an impression on many wannabe fashionistas (not to forget some big Hollywood names, like Rachel Zoe) and marked her presence among umpteenth journalists and fashion critics. Not only she proved that modesty does come with sensible fashion, her convenient dress also consoled many women along the way who were somewhat hesitant and conscious flashing their skin. While some may criticize Kate complaining not being outrageous enough with style, but thatâs what truly defines her- a frumpy but fashionable elite. We bring you the most appealing style; the duchess of Cambridge has adorned and whether she needs to work on your style or not.

Kate Middleton in a cable knit dress by Alexander McQueen
On her visit to Prince Edward Island, she appeared wearing a beautiful cream and navy quarter sleeved cable knit dress by Alexander McQueen for day five of the royal tour. This 1920s inspired dress featured tie detailing and pleated skirt with pussy bow neckline and was teamed up with navy Prada heels. And it was certainly the Kate effect only that within hours of her actual appearance, this pretty dress was sold out. What makes Kate more of a fashion star that whatever dress she carries, creates a frequent buzz among the crowds. And whatâs more amazing is that she doesnât even need to try to exude her out. It comes naturally.
Kate Middleton wore a sleeveless nude dress by Joseph on Sundayin Quebec City
Speaking of another Kate effect, which turned out to be a major trend around the streets. She wore this simple nude Vanessa dress by Joseph on her visit to Quebec City. A paired up peep toes pumps and same hued clutch completed her simple pretty dress. And what she wore on Sunday morning was snapped up, and was an absolute sold out the very next day. Not something that surprised us.
What says the fashion world?
The night before her wedding, Kate was spotted dressed in a grey Catherine Walker dress. She is often seen playing her silhouette with a pair of highly coveted Christian Louboutin shoes and sporting a weighty Hermes Birkinon her arm. Although many fashion critics were not seem to be impressed with her accessories choice and declared the style âboringâ and âmismatchedâ. But Kate still had her move going and was capable of selling thousands of copies of her simple Zaradress under few hours.
Wedged espadrilles, low heeled court shoes and longer-hems werenât something that was in fashion, a few years back until Kate gave them a swing. Yet, critics often bewail her High streets obsession and apprise her to be tentative with her dressing style. But young shoppers have something different to convey. The ways her style makes the market trends and is off the shop without lingering too long clearly explain that her style is hot property out in the street.
It isn’t like Kate has vowed not to keep aside her obsession with mumsied clothes and be monotonous with her style. Recently, on her first day of the loyal tour, she decked out in a Roland Mouret dress and Manolo Blahnik heels (when bloggers and critics were expecting her old repeated style). Again, on the fifth day, she continues to sport some fabulous dresses by luxury designers including Pradaand Katherine Walker and even McQueen.
She continuously showed that she is listening and deserves to claim the iconic status of being a royal member. She is successfully refining and honing her fashion sense, leaving past those serious fashion blunders. Some critics might contradict that she pays little interest in fashion and consider her style- dull and dreary, but there is a whole bunch of crowds who know that her savvy sartorial choices are something that are trendy and stylish.
Could she be better by changing her style?
Whether she needs to rectify her style or keep it as it is, could be controversial to discuss, because being a royal member, she is expected to dress a certain way. Today, being a trendsetter might be more about edgy outfits and showing as much as skin one can, fortunately or unfortunately Kate isn’t like this, not for few more years to come. We believe that she should stick to designer labels and demure dresses she has so far adorned meanwhile skipping her taste from one shore to another. Only these demure outfits have propelled Kate Middleton to rank among royal fashion iconsif not among super trendy celebs. And she shouldn’t care less? If her fashion sense speaks louder than The kardashians, itâs better being Kate Middleton. Donâtyou agree?
