GNo one does autumnal dressing better than Kate Middleton — favoring plush suede boots, soft cashmere turtlenecks and plenty of cozy camel coats, the Princess of Wales knows how to dress to look impeccable and immaculately flawless for fall.
What’s her secret to looking appealing all autumn long? The princess relies on the same clothing items, shoes and accessories every season to make sure she’s ready for the changing leaves and cooler temperatures.
Here are 12 Items Kate Middleton Wears Every Fall:
1. Bomber Jacket
When not on royal duty, Kate shuns the longline coats and duster toppers in favor of mom-friendly bomber coats — the cropped jackets in earthy shades like olive and brown are cozy, comfortable and easy for errands. For Mother’s Day in March 2024, the princess wore a lightweight zippered jacket from Bella Hoskyns Country Clothing.
2. Fringed Scarf
Whether she’s on a royal train tour or greeting the masses on a public walkabout, the mom of three always loves a good fringed scarf. She owns a heavy fringed infinity scarf in red, a green pashmina stole from Pickett London, a Strathearn tartan yellow and red tassled scarf and a long brown scarf accented with fringe.
3. Camel Bag
Kate loves bringing fall flair to her wardrobe courtesy of a micro nano bag in camel from the likes of DeMellier London. When she’s not in the mood for a boxy top handle mini, she reaches for her Metier Roma tan suede mini shoulder bag. These neutral bags work with nearly every outfit and add a hint of modern appeal.
4. Chelsea Boots
Back in the day the princess loved girly heeled ankle boots from Dune, Russell & Bromley and Aquatalia. Today, she’s more inclined to embrace a rugged lug sole shoe that feels moto and military inspired. Sturdy and tough, these statement boots have the bad attitude and rebellious streak of a classic Doc Marten combat boot. The princess owns Chelsea styles from ba&sh, Blundstone and See by Chloe.
5. Burgundy Accents
The future Queen never fails to miss wearing burgundy in the lead up to winter–the rich reddish hue calls to mind a vineyard grape harvest or cozy glass of wine by the fire. Berry accents like tassel pumps from Tod’s, a quilted burgundy bag from Chanel and a pointelle jumper from Warehouse put Kate’s workwear ensembles into fall-ready mode.
6. Tweed Outerwear
For the pumpkin season, Kate prefers to be warm and protected from the elements. She embraces the look of textured tweed for a polished and striking style statement. The princess owns a colorful blue tweed coat from Erdem, a brown maxi coat from Moloh, a Missoni blue lurex tweed topper and a Tory Burch silver tweed coat. In addition, she often wears tweed skirt suits from brands like Dolce & Gabbana.
7. Belted Coat
From her Hobbs ‘Celeste’ belted chocolate brown midi to her Sportmax green belted coat to her red L.K. Bennett ‘Ami’ wool-blend topper, Kate loves to don a belted coat for a quick and easy high fashion look for the pre-holiday season. She sticks to earth tone shades like brown, hunter green and tan for her fall coat displays.
8. Vanilla Knitwear
Inclined to wear stone and cream colored knits for fall, the princess often gravitates toward clean monochromatic looks in the form of sweater dresses and co-ord sets. She loves her stretchy cotton midi in the shade ‘biscuit’ from Victoria Beckham and also received raves for her ribbed natural sweater and pencil skirt from French fashion label Sezane. The princess also recently donned a Chris Kerr tailored white coat in cream for a visit to Port Talbot, Wales in February 2023.
9. Suede Boots
Kate’s fall-friendly closet would not be complete without her favorite Ralph Lauren black suede pointed boots (worn since 2018) and her Rossi Glen block heel tall boots. Drawn to knee high boots that work with everything from shirtdresses to pleated skirts and maxi coats, the princess can’t resist a pair of soft suede boots for the leaf changing season.
10. Woodland Accessories
To perfect her fall fashion recipe, Kate relies on a few standbys from her Windsor wardrobe including her most beloved jewelry. From her Catherine Zoraida gold leaf earrings to her Asprey Oak gold and diamond hoops — the princess prefers to keep her outfits ‘on theme’ during the crisper months.
11. Houndstooth Print
The princess owns numerous coats, sheaths and skirts bearing a black and white checked houndstooth print. She also owns coats with the pattern in red and white and blue and white. Favoring the retro pattern for fall occasions, she can make the look work for the season by adding a simple turtleneck or sweater, neutral accessories and tall boots or block heel pumps. (Princess Diana also loved the playful print).

12. Camel Coat
No princess-y fall wardrobe would be complete without a camel coat. The MVP for the House of Windsor’s stylists — these sandy shaded toppers instantly elevate an outfit from bland and basic to contemporary and chic. Always a luxe look, Kate owns styles from Massimo Dutti and Max & Company.
