Polish Your Bohemian Style

Just because you subscribe to a hippie-chic aesthetic doesn't mean you can't look put-together. Pair a black boho blouse with crisp flared trousers to steal this look.

Dress Up Your Downtown Denim

Kate has spent her fair share of time chilling backstage, so her formula for rocker-chic dressing is worth poaching. Head-to-toe black denim accompanied by a vintage T-shirt, posh neck scarf, chain-strap bag and wide-brim hat is a winning combo.

Layer Up With Leather Leggings

Black leather pants are a wardrobe staple that can be dressed up with a tuxedo jacket and frilly blouse or dressed down with a T-shirt and flats. Yes, they're expensive, but worth the splurge.
