Kate Middleton Wore The Perfect Checked Coat

by Laura Lajiness Kaupke

Idolized for her dynamic take on classic style, Kate Middleton is the epitome of elegance. Recently, the Duchess stepped out in the perfect checked coat by one of her favorite labels, L.K. Bennett. With a round neck and flattering belt to cinch the waist, it’s the ultimate feminine spin on a menswear-inspired staple. While her exact coat is sold out on the brand’s site directly, we found it via a retailer for $688. Since that price is a bit steep for many, we also shopped out affordable versions with similar appeal. Here, see the gorgeous coat and shop our picks to embody Kate’s style. Then, peruse more of her best fashion moments to date.
