Kate’s taste for power dressing is not entirely new, but a polished and rather more corporate aesthetic has been taking over from hear her previous uniform of structured dresses and occasion coats.
The suit, which gives off an aura of power and success, is now something of a go-to outfit for Kate in her new role as a senior royal.
It has certainly given her a more business-like feel.
At the same time, Catherine has added a playful note by choosing to wear the tailoring in a myriad of punchy bold hues.
From vibrant purple Emilia Wickstead to scarlet Alexander McQueen and forest green Burberry, all the colours of the rainbow have given her workwear wardrobe a splash of style.
Royal Purple
It was a rich shade of purple for the Princess of Wales last week when she hosted a conference at the Design Museum in London where the findings of new research from her Royal Foundation Centre for Early Childhood were presented.
