How To Get This Kate Middleton High Low Look For Less

We love how Kate Middleton mixes high-end designer pieces with low priced fashion. She is an expert at high low styling. When she wears affordable fashion it brings the Duchess of Cambridge and future Queen down to earth like the rest of us. This time she was spotted in a burgundy sweater from Warehouse and green cropped trousers from Jigsaw. These are moderately priced UK store/brands we don’t have in the U.S. but you can shop them online. I took a look at both stores, and her exact pieces were not available. Perhaps that is because once the Duchess is seen wearing something, it sells out immediately! Or sometimes she wears things she had in her closet for several years.

But where Kate does wear quality is in her burgundy Chanel handbag and Tod’s Block heel pumps…and of course her jewelry. I really like the ease and simplicity of this 2 piece outfit and I want to get her look for less. This was a tricky one to duplicate because I had to find accessories to rival her gorgeous designer handbag and shoes. Here is how to get this Kate Middleton high low look for less.

Styling Tips For This Kate Middleton High Low Look for Less

1. Stick with two solid colors. Kate Middleton shows us how two simple pieces in two complimentary fall colors can unify an entire outfit. Her shoes and handbag match the color of  her sweater, even though they are different shades of burgundy. She plays with subtle textures like the quilted Chanel bag and the tonal leather strap on her pumps. It all comes together very neatly!

2. Wear wide leg crop pants instead of a skirt or dress. Take it from Kate, a pair of pants that are fuller look dressier than if she was wearing pants, and they chicer than a skirt. The cropped pant length shows off her shoes as well Keep this look in mind the next time you don’t want to appear too dressy or too casual. It is appropriate for business, too.

3. Style It high low. Kate shows us how her apparel does not need to be expensive when she is carrying a designer handbag and shoes. Her sweater and pants are simple pieces and it does not matter if they are high-priced designer pieces, too. By wearing solid basic pieces her accessories take center stage, and we noticed!
