While the Princess of Wales is celebrated for her elegant evening gowns and twinkling tiaras, she’s also enthusiastically applauded in style circles for her collection of coats. Recently acquiring a slew of new tailored maxi coats by Alexander McQueen as well as a substantial stockpile of business blazers, the princess has become a true coat connoisseur.
In fact, she’s become so dedicated to her growing collection of coats she often wears her toppers without even ever revealing what’s underneath. Case in point: on a recent public appearance in Southport, the mom of three never removed her Alexander McQueen chocolate colored long coat but instead staying bundled up for the duration of the engagement.
Luckily, many of the princess’ most beloved coats that conveniently double as daywear are still available for purchase.
