Recently the Princess of Wales has appeared in two oversized and slouchy sweaters courtesy of English fashion brand and retailer Reiss. A prominent player on the British high street, this clothing company has been offering womenswear since 2000.
Defined by its modern apparel with a strong ‘boardroom chic’ aesthetic, the company founded by David Reiss, specializes in contemporary suiting separates like blazers and tailored trousers as well as traditional knitwear; the global fashion chain is also revered for their selection of unique accessories and vacation-ready bohemian styles like linen shirt dresses, flowing tropical print maxis and colorblock tunics.
The princess has long been a fan of the wide array of versatile and timeless attire from Reiss. She’s worn belts, blouses and bags from the label as far back as 2007 when she appeared in a London nightclub wearing the brand’s short sleeve blush barocco silk top with black beading. It’s clear why the princess continues to covet this sustainable minded and stylish fashion house.
Here are 21 of Kate Middleton’s Best Reiss Fashion Moments:
1. Reiss Angel Coat
An olive colored coat with a large wrap around collar and stitch detailing, this wool topper is smart and sophisticated and perfect for royal duty. The princess debuted the coat in North Wales in November 2015.
2. Reiss Hollie Double-Breasted Linen Blazer
A linen blend fabrication makes this blazer a win for summer layering. Kate donned the light blue double-breasted blazer with mottled buttons and peak lapels in May 2023 while chatting with concertgoers ahead of King Charles’ Coronation concert.
3. Reiss Larsson Twill Blazer
A neutral jacket with a wool blend, this oatmeal colored blazer offers elegant simplicity. Kate has worn the jacket on three occasions including to visit the RAF Norton and the Disasters Emergency Committee to learn about efforts to support people affected by the conflict in the Ukraine.
4. Reiss Ginnie Slim Leg Wool Blend Trousers
Slim fit trousers with a cuffed hem, these smart slacks appeared on the princess for a visit to Starbank Park in Edinburgh. She paired the bottle green wool blend crops with a Massimo Dutti jacket and silk polka print blouse by Jigsaw.
5. Reiss Sophie Camel Roll Neck Sweater
This alpaca cashmere blend turtleneck first appeared on the princess in March 2021 during the height of the pandemic. Kate paired the pullover with her camel maxi Massimo Dutti coat.
6. Reiss Trina Blue Sheath Dress
A fan favorite of the princess’ clothing, this colorful cobalt blazer dress was worn by Her Royal Highness at the Treehouse Children’s Hospice in March 2012. Proving the Middleton ladies are a closely bonded fashion family, Kate’s mother appeared in the same belted design two years prior at Royal Ascot.
7. Reiss Olivia Cream Coat
One of Kate’s most celebrated rewears is this double-breasted wool and cashmere blend coat from Reiss. The princess has worn the elegant coat on multiple occasions over the years on and off duty; she’s owned the topper since 2007 and has been clad in the coat for birthday parties, charity concerts, school graduations and a trip to Dublin, Ireland.
8. Reiss Edina Cashmere Blend Jumper in Navy and Cream

A classic coat in dove grey, Kate stepped out in this elegant jacket for the first time in December 2013. Two years later she recycled the collarless coat for a rugby match and again wore the warm and stylish overcoat in Scotland in February 2020.
10. Reiss Vinnie High-Neck Shirt
A long sleeve cream colored blouse cut from chiffon, this high-neck shirt appeared on the princess paired with a D&G black boucle skirt for a Huff Post guest editor assignment in February 2016. The feminine shirt has a textured stripe and delicate frill detailing at the collar.

A woven wrap coat with a black and white houndstooth pattern, this high neck coat boasts a concealed button front and removable belt.

12. Reiss Emile Cobalt Blue Dress
A cobalt blue coat with a structured silhouette and bold stand up collar was the perfect choice for the princess to wear to a September 2015 Rugby World Cup match alongside Prince Harry. Kate paired the vibrant coat with a Beulah London Shibani heart scarf.

A casual sleeveless pinstripe blouse with a stand collar, pin tuck pleats and contrast black buttons, this cotton and silk shirt appeared on Princess Kate in July 2014 at the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow. She paired the tank with a Zara blazer, 811 Skinny Jeans by J Brand in navy and platform cork wedges from Stuart Weitzman.
14. Reiss Rozalia Black Belted Dress
A classic LBD with long sleeves and pleated wrap skirt along with a removable black belt was the right style choice for an evening event. Kate wore this knee-length dress from the brand’s 2009 collection at an exclusive party in Mayfair in October 2012. (She wore the design with a black coat from the palace’s private dressmaker.)
15. Reiss Ivory Nanette Dress
A frill front dress in white was a sensible and cost conscious choice for the royal bride-to-be. Kate paired her affordable high street dress with its three-quarter sleeves and asymmetric draped neck with her white topaz egg earrings from Links of London and her sparkling sapphire engagement ring for stunning engagement photos taken by Mario Testino. Later, the princess wore the dress on tour in Canada in July 2011 with a maple leaf hat by Sylvia Fletcher and red court shoes by Hobbs London.
