The Princess of Wales can’t stop wearing brown right now. The stunning royal has shunned her somewhat signature colour of navy blue and has been investing in rich, chocolate-brown pieces, dusky caramel-toned numbers, and terracotta threads over the past few months.
As a fashion editor who has been writing about style for over fifteen years, I think this changeable preference really suits the 44-year-old royal. Firstly, it complements her glorious mane of brunette curls, but also, it makes a welcome change from predictable neutrals such as beige. I think it gives a luxurious finish to her ensembles, too.

It has never been more current to wear brown-toned clothes. Stylist Georgie Gray, whose celebrity clients include Rochelle Humes and Molly-Mae Hague, tells HELLO!. brown is “the warm-toned filter your winter looks have been waiting for this season. It’s all about espressos, caramels, and mochas.”
With that in mind, here are Kate’s best chocolate-toned outfits. Which one is your favourite?

Last month, Kate took a well-being walk in the Peak District and embraced her outdoor persona in country chic, mocha brown jodhpurs by Holland Cooper with Berghaus walking boots. The royal added Dubarry of Ireland’s ‘Friel Utility Jacket’ in a dark, almost olive green colour. She also added a light brown cashmere snood by Brora and a baker boy hat by The House of Bruar.

Toffee-toned
On the same day, just a few hours earlier, Kate braved the cold and miserable weather for a visit to charity Family Action’s Children’s Trauma Therapy Service in Bradford.
Kate wore a timeless blazer by high-end brand Holland Cooper. The double-breasted design had a sharp, tailored silhouette and was adorned with signature gold buttons on the front and cuffs, giving a seriously ‘old money’ finish. Kate teamed it with an espresso brown rollneck jumper and a pair of terracotta trousers from Edeline Lee, which featured a flared, high-waisted cut.

Coco blazer
In February 2025, Kate visited the National Portrait Gallery and sported a super chic, brown tailored wool blazer by Ukrainian-born, Vienna-based designer, Petar Petrov. She mixed the jacket with a black rollneck and pinstripe trousers, which provided a timeless dark colourway.
