Jenny Packham

This feels like the most classically Kate of all of these -- a slam dunk....if we were in 2012. I think this is beautiful and would look great on Kate, but I suspect she will never wear anything this sexy again, which is a shame. She and Wills and Harry are going to the Bond premiere on October 26th. WEAR THIS! (And freeze, actually, so maybe don't.)

Jenny Packham

This is sort of quirky, but she likes sleeves and she looks good in this color, so...give it a whirl, lady.

Jenny Packham

Kate DOES love lace. (I assume she will take this fully FULLY lined.)

Zimmermann

In case Kate decides she wants a dress that's REAL SIMILAR to her current Zimmermann dress, but KINDA ever so slightly different.

Zimmermann

Am I nuts for sort of wanting to see this jacket with The Skinny Jeans? (And clearly with the nipples out, DUH.)

Lela Rose

She'd obviously alter this so it was a bit less low-cut, but I love this dress and it's so unusual and girly. TRY IT, Kate, although I admit that color might be wonkus on you.

Lela Rose

Something about this kind of appeals, as a day dress. You know I always want to see Kate in patterns.

Michael Kors

Obviously, with different shoes. And fewer...random straps.

Diane von Furstenberg

I wish she'd JUST TRY IT. TRY SOMETHING NEW.

Ralph Lauren

Those pants are heinous, but I'm sure she'll buy the rest of it in an ultimately futile attempt to wrest the crown of Owner of The Most Breton Shirts In The Universe FROM ME. You have Wills, Kate. GIVE. ME. THIS. ONE. THING.

Ralph Lauren

In case one wants a LONGER blue blazer (though I think she'd wear this open).

Ralph Lauren

Whoops, this was for me.

Ralph Lauren

This, I just like, and think would suit her. It's classic and a little saucy, because the skirt is leather, but basically unimpeachably ladylike. I'm not sure if we'd SEE her at a Skirt and Sweater event, but surely she HAS THEM in her life.

Ralph Lauren

Did someone say STRIPES? (This is obviously for their rumored Caribbean tour and the shoes MUST be left AT HOME).

Ralph Lauren

For the woman who has all the striped shirts in the world, we present...the BRETON DRESS.

Jenny Packham, Lela Rose, DVF, Ralph, and Zimmermann: The Kate Edit

AKA a Variety of Designers Showing At New York Fashion Week Previously Worn By The Duchess of Cambridge: Which New Selections From This Season's Lines Might She Choose To Wear, and Which Might I Suggest She Try? Let's discuss. (Spoiler: If Kate wants new clothes, she better hope that London brings it, because New York was bad this year. As a whole, but especially for a duchess. That said, Ralph Lauren this morning was basically made for her. IT'S SO NAUTICAL. It's like ALL BRETON ALL THE TIME.)
