The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are continuing their tour around Scotland and have had many sweet moments during their trip.

The tour has been very eventful, but still, it is Kate's amazing looks that are continuing to flaw the public.

Fashion Expert and Styling Team Lead at Stitch Fix UK, Roxy Harding, tells Woman & Home that she loves seeing the Duchess in tartan. 

She states, "My favourite looks from Kate often include a twist of tartan - she wears and styles the print so effortlessly. Whether it’s her blue and green Alexander McQueen coat that we’ve seen her wear on a few occasions, the red and green Miu Miu number, or her red pleated skirt by Emilia Wickstead.

"The latest iteration by designer, Holland Cooper, that she’s chosen for her trip to Scotland is no exception - the shape, the colours, and even the buttons are classic Kate—and it’s no wonder she’s such a fan, as it’s the perfect print to be worn casually or as part of a smarter ensemble."

Roxy goes on to say that you don't have to spend a fortune either to get the Duchess' look. "You don’t have to spend upwards of £800 to weave the look into your own wardrobe, either. Several brands we carry at Stitch Fix, such as Whistles—a high street favourite of Kate’s—are great at mastering striking prints whilst keeping it chic like the Duchess," she said.

The fashion expert also gave some tips for styling tartan coats like Kate Middleton's. "Pair your tartan trench with jeans, a simple white tee and a pair of Supergas, for an effortless look, or jazz it up with some heels and jewellery for a dinner date", she said.

Fashion Influencer Marilou Moles from Twenty York Street also complimented the Duchess' patriotic look. "What an absolute delight to see the Duchess in tartan! By wearing a fabric that is steeped in history and heritage, Kate makes yet another thoughtful statement with this Marlborough full-length trench coat. It is the perfect tribute fitting for the NHS event, given the theme: 1970’s Britain," she said.

When asked if she thought this look was on-trend, Marilou told Woman & Home, "Technically, it shouldn’t even be a 'trend' as tartan is always classic and timeless. This modern and fitted rendition, topped with gold accents is truly a lifetime investment—a striking piece of Great British Excellence.”

If you love this pattern but you're looking for something with a slightly more flattering cut. There are plenty of options that sell coats similar to Kate's but without the slim fit cut and belt.

Scotland Shop has even made a tartan coat in homage to the Duchess of Cambridge. The brand states, "Our favourite Royal and style icon Kate Middleton often wears a gorgeous Black Watch frock coat and we wanted to create our own easy to wear ScotlandShop version available to order in over 500 tartans." 

The coat is £550 so while it is still expensive, it is a good deal cheaper than the coat that Kate was pictured in.
