Kate Middleton appeared in a bold and symbolic outfit during her visit to Wales. The main focus was a 60s-style coat, paired with a turtleneck and wide pants, according to RBC-Ukraine fashion editor Kateryna Sobkova.
Kate Middleton’s outfit
The centerpiece of the look was an orange wool coat with a geometric 60s-inspired print.
According to UK media, the piece was custom-made from fabric by Melin Tregwynt. With this choice, Kate Middleton made a symbolic nod to Welsh craftsmanship while highlighting the importance of sustainable fashion.
Under the coat, the princess wore a dark olive cashmere turtleneck, matched with wide pants in the same tone.
The combination of bright orange and deep green created a carefully balanced contrast, once again showcasing Catherine’s commitment to thoughtful layering.
This look is an example of how vibrant colors can appear elegant and appropriate, even in the context of an official visit.
Hairstyle as a style extension
Special attention goes to the Princess of Wales’ hairstyle, which perfectly complemented the complex ensemble.
The front strands were smoothly brushed back with a subtle lift at the roots, visually elongating the face and adding elegance to the look.

At the back, the hair was styled in interwoven wide strands, creating the effect of a textured knot or braid.
Meanwhile, the main length fell over the shoulders in soft Hollywood waves, looking polished and glossy, a signature element of Kate Middleton’s style.
This hairstyle kept the face open, while gold earrings with red stones, matching the coat, became a striking accent.
Why this look works
The chosen hairstyle perfectly balanced the outfit with the high-neck turtleneck. Fully loose hair could have overwhelmed the neckline, whereas the half-up style preserved the length while opening up the shoulder line.
Additionally, the hairstyle didn’t distract from the geometric print of the coat, while still appearing formal enough for an official engagement.
As a result, Kate Middleton’s appearance became another example of how royal style can combine aesthetics, symbolism, and support for local brands.
