Just like many of us, the Princess of Wales is a devoted fan of the British high street. 

Over the years, Kate has built a collection of staple pieces from brands she trusts, returning to the likes of Reiss, Boden and LK Bennett for polished yet practical looks. 

Whether she's attending a casual royal engagement or stepping out for an off-duty moment, Kate always strikes the perfect balance between sophistication and accessibility. 

From tailored blazers to chic dresses, her go-to brands offer a mix of classic silhouettes, feminine details and versatile designs that seamlessly slot into her wardrobe. 

Scroll on to explore Kate's favourite high street labels, along with a star buy from the latest ranges. 

M&S

Kate's collection of M&S products features everything from dresses to footwear - and, of course, her famous sold-out trouser suit. 

As the retailer continues its impressive style evolution, it's no surprise she remains a loyal customer. 

STAR BUY: M&S Cotton Rich Trench Coat

Guaranteed to bring a touch of flair to any wardrobe, this trench is finished with a smart collar and double-breasted front. 

Versatile and chic, it pairs just as effortlessly with casual jeans as it does with a floral dress. 

Ghost 

Kate has long been a fan of Ghost's signature floral dresses. In 2020, she notably wore a blue version for the nationwide Clap for Carers initiative, which sold out in just 30 minutes - a testament to the power of the 'Kate effect'.

Last autumn, the brand underwent a fresh transformation. With a more contemporary and relevant look, Ghost now showcases a modern visual identity throughout its new collection.

STAR BUY: Clarissa Polka Dot Tie Front Midi Dress

Effortlessly pretty and polished, the Clarissa midi dress is ideal for transitional days. 

Cut on the bias from pastel blue polka dot fabric, it features a demure silhouette, short puff sleeves and charming bow detailing.

Was £129 

Reiss

Kate's affinity for Reiss dates back to her engagement days, when she wore the Nanette dress in her official portrait with Prince William.

In recent years, she has gravitated towards the brand's impeccably tailored coats and blazers, which reflect her polished style.

STAR BUY: Amaya Floral Print Belted Maxi Dress

The Amaya dress offers a modern twist on occasionwear. 

Made from a comfortable stretch cotton, it incorporates a crossover halterneck, waist belt, and full maxi skirt to create a feminine silhouette. 

Astley Clarke

It's easy to see why Kate has a penchant for Astley Clarke's lapis lazuli jewellery.

The deep blue gemstone  complements her iconic engagement ring, while also symbolising wisdom, intuition and spiritual growth - making it a fitting choice for royal engagements.

STAR BUY: Gold Deco Lapis Drop Huggies

Astley Clarke's Art Deco-inspired lapis earrings are a real standout. 

Featuring four cultured sapphires on the claw setting, they look far more expensive than their £148 price tag. 

Boden

Boden's signature blend of cheerful colours and prints has made it a firm favourite in Kate's wardrobe. 

She has been seen in a variety of the brand's knitwear, blouses and dresses - many of which have quickly become bestsellers and are now back in stock for the season.

During her anniversary trip to Scotland in April, she wore two standout shirts, including a blue linen style that flew off the shelves.

STAR BUY: Paperbag Linen Belted Shorts

A standout piece, these shorts combine comfort and style. Crafted from linen, with a belted waist and paperbag silhouette, they bring instant playfulness to new season dressing. 

The khaki shade is effortlessly flattering, pairing just as well with trainers or sandals.

Monica Vinader

Kate has been a devoted fan of Monica Vinader since 2014, frequently wearing the brand's popular Siren Wire earrings.

Her ongoing support may be tied to the brand's strong sustainability ethos - Monica Vinader uses 100% recycled gold and sterling silver, along with recyclable packaging and reusable pouches, aligning closely with the Princess' eco-conscious values.

STAR BUY: Riva Pavé Diamond Huggie Earrings 

These thoughtfully designed earrings feature a tapered hoop, embellished with lab grown diamonds.

A celebration of natural beauty and sustainable craftsmanship, they can be worn solo or stacked for a modern look. 

& Other Stories

A recent addition to Kate's wardrobe rotation, & Other Stories has quickly become a go-to for denim

She has been spotted multiple times in their Favourite Cut jeans in a classic mid-blue wash, though the exact style has since sold out. 

STAR BUY: Press-Crease Flared Jeans

Channel a retro vibe with these flattering high-waisted flared jeans. 

Crafted in a versatile mid-blue wash with patch pockets and topstitched details, they offer a modern nod to 70s style. 

LK Bennett

Kate has been a loyal supporter of LK Bennett since her earliest days as a royal. Once known for her signature beige heels from the brand, she now often opts for its refined dresses and tailored pieces.

Her wardrobe includes an array of mid-length frocks, from floral fit-and-flare silhouettes to timeless polka dot shirt dresses - each offering the polished elegance she's known for.

STAR BUY: Vera Colourblock Cotton Blouse

The Vera corduroy blouse is a beautifully refined piece, featuring a Peter Pan collar and ruffled trim.

Guaranteed to elevate any outfit, try teaming it with tailored trousers and ballet flats for a refined finish.

Was £179 

 

Penelope Chilvers

Kate first stepped out in her Penelope Chilvers Long Tassel Boots back in 2004, when she was still Prince William's university girlfriend - and they've remained a go-to for her countryside engagements ever since. 

Even Princess Charlotte embraced the look in 2020, donning a miniature version of the iconic boots for the Wales family Christmas card. 

STAR BUY: Allegra Butterfly Embroidered Espadrilles

These stunning new espadrilles have just dropped online. Inspired by traditional manton shawls, the intricate patterns are hand-embroidered by skilled artisans. 

With ballet-style ankle ribbons and a comfortable flat sole, they're a great choice for summer parties or simply elevating everyday outfits. 

Brora

Kate has worn three Brora blouses to date, each sparking instant sellouts. 

One standout favourite - the pink gingham blouse - has just been restocked, making it a timely wardrobe addition for the warmer months. 

STAR BUY: Cotton Gingham Chelsea Collar Blouse 

Made from airy, breathable seersucker, this top is both stylish and easy to wear.

It features a distinctive Chelsea collar with squared edges, a softly plunging V-neckline and romantic touches like delicate frills, puff sleeves and side splits. The peony pink hue adds a welcome summery finish. 

ME+EM

Kate regularly turns to ME+EM for polished pieces that flatter with minimal effort. 

It's clearly a family favourite too - Kate's mother, Carole Middleton, famously borrowed her daughter's pink shirt dress for Royal Ascot in 2022.

Last September, Kate chose the brand's cropped military jacket for an official engagement with Melania Trump - and received endless praise for her flawless ensemble.

STAR BUY: Embroidered Cutout Tee

Meet ME+EM's must-have blouse, which will take you straight through spring and into summer. 

This charming top is crafted from cotton voile with lace detailing and a semi-sheer finish.

It looks equally great paired with tailored trousers or a midi skirt.  

Hobbs

Kate's selection of Hobbs pieces runs well into the double digits, spanning everything from timeless wool coats to cosy knitwear and refined accessories.

Known for its classic British style, the brand perfectly aligns with her aesthetic.

STAR BUY: Vanessa Cotton Dress

Exuding everyday elegance, the Vanessa dress was designed for work, weekend and everything in between. 

The apple green colourway is perfectly on trend, while the sash belt, midi length and ruffled accents create a flattering silhouette. 

Missoma

Renowned for its high fashion appeal and affordable prices, Missoma is understandably on Kate's radar

She owns several pieces from the London-based brand, including the Zenyu Fan Chandelier Earrings and the Rhodochrosite Gold Mini Pyramid Charm Hoop Earrings, which she has worn on nine public appearances to date.

STAR BUY: Mini Ridge Heart Charm Necklace 

Available in sterling silver or gold vermeil, this eye-catching mini pendant features a sculptural silver heart suspended from a twisted rope jump ring.

Style it solo for a subtle statement or layer with shorter necklaces for a more contemporary, stacked look. 

Jaeger

Kate has long been a loyal Jaeger fan, having stepped out in several of the brand's dresses - not to mention a quilted clutch she has carried on repeat

Her first Jaeger moment, a sunshine yellow shirt dress worn during the 2011 royal tour of Asia and the South Pacific, proved so popular that the brand reissued it multiple times.

STAR BUY: Knitted Seam Detail Midi A-Line Skirt

If you appreciate classic British style and quality craftsmanship, Jaeger's spring/summer collection is well worth exploring. 

At its heart sits a cropped shacket, featuring a curved hem that make a sartorial statement. Meanwhile, the ivory colourway ensures it will layer over plenty of existing pieces.

Aspinal of London 

Aspinal of London has secured a special place as one of Kate's favourite accessory brands

Her most-loved design, the Midi Mayfair, exemplifies the British label's exceptional craftsmanship and timeless vintage elegance.

The British brand recently launched its Christmas collection, which is filled with glamorous handbags, leather accessories and luxurious travel essentials.

STAR BUY: Midi Mayfair in Soft Taupe Patent Croc

The vintage-inspired Midi Mayfair instantly elevates any outfit, and the delicate taupe version is guaranteed to receive compliments.

Working from day to night, the sleek croc finish shows off Aspinal's craftsmanship beautifully.
