If this season’s red craze isn’t your thing, perhaps Kate Middleton‘s preferred shade on the color wheel is. The Princess of Wales spent her Sunday attending Easter service at St. George’s Chapel at Windsor Castle, where she re-wore (a sartorial tradition of Middleton’s) a custom-made, royal-blue coat dress by Catherine Walker with a matching pillbox hat by Lock and Co. and clutch by Emmy London. In fact, the only non-blue item on her was a pair of skin-tone, suede pumps from the Princess’s go-to shoe brand Gianvito Rossi.
But Middleton isn’t the only person eyeing royal blue for spring and summer. After a few hours of scrolling through H&M, Nordstrom, and Zara this morning, it became crystal clear that the shade is having a moment, with a bevy of options in the hue being sold RN at all three retailers. Below, check out my favorites from their current offerings.
On Kate Middleton: Catherine Walker coat; Lock and Co. hat; Gianvito Rossi 105 Suede Pumps ($775); Emmy London Natasha Clutch ($475); Carousel Jewels Stella Earrings With Lapis and Moonstone ($165)
