Kate Middleton is not just the national treasure she has become since joining hands with Prince William at the Royal Ceremony in April; after meeting her beloved when they were both at university in St Andrews. She has also evolved into a style icon that a number of women in the UK aspire to. Perhaps one of the main reasons behind the popularity of the ‘Kate Middleton look’ is its accessibility and its ability to suit women of all shapes and sizes. Indeed, there is a range of plus-size women’s clothing available from retailers such as JD Williams, which can be worked together to achieve this look.

If you are looking to bag a wardrobe that is fit for a princess, you must first establish which parts of the look will suit your body shape, and then base your purchases on your findings. Sophisticated and classic garments – such as silk blouses, suit jackets, structured skirts, dresses and trousers – are integral to Kate’s outfits. This is good news for women with a fuller figure, as these pieces are flattering for voluptuous women when worked properly.

Finally, be sure to invest in affordable quality garments that look well-made and avoid cheap-looking items like the plague. This will not only ensure that the clothes you buy will last much longer – thereby saving you a great deal of money on replacements in the future – but they will also guarantee the polished finish required to meet the effortlessly classic beauty of Kate-inspired ensembles.
