Kate Middleton Just Styled a Head-to-Toe Outfit in the Colour Trend Every Fashion Person Is Wearing

If you’re tuned into the season’s latest trends, then you’ve likely noticed that black shades don’t seem to be holding quite as much weight this year as they normally would. Of course, I’m still seeing plenty of black out there, and it will always be considered a classic option, but rich burgundy has undoubtedly been the hue dominating this winter. In fact, I don’t think ever seen another colour rival black quite as much as burgundy has.

Taking her cues from London’s most stylish, even Catherine, Princess of Wales was spotted styling the red wine shade this week. Arriving for an engagement at Buckingham Palace today, Middleton chose a head-to-toe burgundy outfit complete with a coordinating hat and tall burgundy boots.

Taking a monochromatic approach to her outfit, The Princess of Wales wore a knee-length burgundy coat neatly fastened with tonal leather gloves, pearl earrings and a pearl and diamond strand necklace from Garrard. Completing her look with a small Chanel bag in the same shade, Middleton proved that she’s just as looped in the season’s biggest trends as she’s ever been.

While this all-burgundy look feels like quite a statement, it’s actually a colour we’ve seen Middleton reach for in the past. Often styling shades that toe the line between burgundy and aubergine, Middleton has been known to favour rich berry tones for engagements throughout the winter months. Talk about being ahead of the curve!
