Happy New Year! Love this new feature!

I have noticed in recent years that Kate is wearing her dresses much longer than previous.

I am not sure when this trend started? Or why?

Her hemlines early in her Royal days seem to be more past knee length instead of past calf length?

You highlighted the only Kate item I’ve ever purchased - the Tartan coat - and I LOVE IT. The fabric and coat are rather heavy. I also own the JICREW pink fair isle sweater and LOVE LOVE LOVE IIT. very cozy and beautiful colors. Highly recommend. Bought b/c loved it before id ever seen Kate in similar sweater

I loved this look too. The addition of the large sapphire earrings with a trench coat added an interesting twist. In previous eras, it seemed royal women stuck to small diamonds, pearls and hoops for daytime engagements. Maybe it was the old way of thinking that the bigger, bolder sparkle was most appropriate for evening? I love that Kate mixes things up and shows a fresh way to wear the bolder jewels. She does the same, sometimes, for Remembrance Day with Diana’s huge diamond earrings with her black hat and outfit. Spectacular!

Prayers for you and your family. What a thing to navigate with a newborn and the life transition that comes with it.

Agreed! One of her best looks. It is unusual to have her in an unbuttoned coat as well but it relaxes the look a bit.

Will now look forward to Monday’s 😉

Yes, this coat was a big hit. I’m not always a maxi fan but this was beautiful.

I am coveting the Holland Cooper coat. Apparently, Holland Cooper is coming to the States. I can't wait! I must have the Black Watch coat.
