“The Effect of the Windsor princesses”: How Kate Middleton Brought Back Princess Diana’s favorite print into fashion

Fashion Trends

To some, the style of the Duchess of Cambridge impresses, to others, it seems unremarkable. Like, nothing special: classic pumps, modest dresses, blouses, and hats … We can argue for a long time, but we agree on one thing for sure: Her Royal Highness reminded the world what femininity means. Beauty is in simplicity, isn’t it?

Each Kate’s appearance is like a holiday – it passes fleetingly, and is discussed for many, many more days. The Duchess seemed to just walk along the hippodrome during the annual races or supported the England team with Prince William at the European Championship match. Well, finally, I drank beer and played football in high heels. And it happens (Kate, by the way, hits the ball no worse than Cristiano Ronaldo).

After her engagement to William, when Middleton wore a dark blue Issa dress (the same one that was taken apart like hot cakes after the customer), even a separate name appeared for such occasions. “The Middleton Effect”. For the duchess, this means to amuse her pride and once again confirm her status as a fashion icon. For us, in a difficult and often unequal struggle, to have time to grab the thing that “the same” Kate tried on.

Fortunately, we found a safer way to feel like a princess. For example, buy a thing with your favorite Middleton print. The duchess simply loves delicate peas, and for a long time. Judge for yourself: every second image of Kate is equipped with this romantic print. And if earlier she adhered to strict classics (black and white polka dots), now Catherine uses a variety of shades. Emerald, blue, soft pink… In general, a full polka dot!

Kate was wearing polka dots even after the birth of her son George on discharge from the hospital in 2013. Another indicator is that the cute pattern has a separate place in her wardrobe and heart. And Middleton, by the way, is not the only (or rather, not the first) who chose polka dots for such a special occasion. Her mother-in-law, Princess Diana, showed the world the newborn William in a similar emerald dress. One of Lady Dee’s homages, and the sweetest.

The queen of human hearts also had polka dot dresses in a variety of colors. The princess, as a rule, chose restrained and concise designs. A simple cut – with and without sleeves, with a loose bodice, a belt, and a feminine full midi skirt. It looks extraordinary, and the effect is truly royal. Especially if you add white pumps and pearls in the form of earrings or a bracelet. Simple, but so elegant!

It is not necessary to choose Alessandra Rich or Saint Laurent dresses. In the mass market, you can find budget options no worse than those of the duchess. Well, if all this royal theme is not close to you, you can always refer to “Pretty Woman”. To say that you simply cannot live without your beloved Julia Roberts and her chocolate-colored dress with white polka dots – and wear it with pride.
