1. Bold and Vibrant Colors

The Duchess of Cambridge has shown that pops of color can make all the difference when it comes to styling. Kate's color-centric wardrobe has included colors ranging from deep ceruleans, kelly-greens, rich scarlets and the more recent sighting of her in a very modernly chic yellow dress--just to name a few.

2. Regal Jewelry

What is royalty without a few pieces passed down from a line of royals? One of Kate's regal loans from the Queen have been a Nizam of Hyderabad necklace that she wore to the National Portrait Gallery earlier this year.

3. Decadent Headwear

Kate's endless collections of unique and elaborate fascinators add the perfect flare to her outfits, while staying true to the U.K.'s royal fashion scene. Some of her notables have included fascinators with a feminine and classy bow, colorful carnations and even a maple leaf.

4. Wardrobe Mileage

All the more reason to fall in love with Kate. Not only does she sport pieces from more affordable retailers such as Zara, but the Duchess of Cambridge has been spotted in the same outfit for multiple occasions. Nothing is beneath Kate, even when it comes to repeating an outfit.

5. Symbolic Wear

Kate often tries to incorporate an item significant of the country she is visiting as a part of her outfits. Here's where the maple-leaf-inspired fascinator enters the picture once again. Back in 2011, Kate received attention for the thoughtful, custom-made headpiece, and her most recent wear of a Jenny Packham silver-fern dress to New Zealand garnered talk as well.

6. Functional Outfits 
The Duchess of Cambridge certainly knows how to dress for the occasion. From sailing to cricket and even to volleyball, Kate's ensembles are able to accommodate her busy schedule filled with both formal and casual events. Her outfits give her the flexibility for that instant change of occasion. 

7. Knee-Length Dresses

Kate's staple, knee-length dresses, have made their appearance in a number of her royal visits. The classic and most-appropriate length of these ensembles establish class and elegance characteristic of the Duchess herself.

9. Coat Dresses

Kate has managed to merge her two staples--coats and dresses-- into one. A coatdress! She often combines the design of her princess-like coats with bold colors to make a statement.
