I really love that Kate began and ended 2017 at Mass near Sandringham in a fur hat.

This is one of many, many items that's either a coat doing the job of a dress, or an actual coat-dress, and I can't tell which. It's great on her, though, especially that royal blue hue.

I added this pic because you can see a peek of hot pink lining, which makes me like it even more.

This is one of the few Erdems I actually enjoy ([a version of which is on sale](https://shopstyle.it/l/r6n9?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io), if you have $1400 burning a hole in your pocket). The Tod's pumps, I can't find, but [there is a semi-similar cream version with orange piping](https://shopstyle.it/l/r6oS?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io).

The green Hobbs separates here sold out REALLY quickly. They look so good on her that they ALMOST make me wish I needed to buy suits for work. Almost.

She really pulled out the deep colors to kick off the year, didn't she? I like this on her quite a bit. It's from 2015, which is probably why it feels more like classic Oscar than any of the stuff since the Monseters took over.

This is pretty, but there's something weird to be about how the buttons are placed such that the belt encroaches on or covers up one of them. That's very anal of me, but space them out differently!

I like this RIGHT up until the black stripe around her thighs. This will surprise no one, as I'm never a fan of chopping a person up in that spot, nor of changing the skirt shape that low. So I'd have tweaked this.

She was in a Red With Boots place in February, apparently, I always do like those boots on her. ([The suit, by the way, is a re-wear from 2012](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/well-played-kate-middleton-6-10-2012/).)

This MIGHT BE another one from her archives -- [she wore either this one or a similar set of separates (featured later) for this event with baby Prince George](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/well-played-kate-wills-and-georges-royal-tour-of-australia-and-new-zealand-day-ten-part-i-04-2014/). It's pretty unimpeachable, if also a bit like a knockoff of Chanel.

Wills got to play with a lot of kids this year, something he and Kate and Harry all clearly really enjoy doing. Here, I assume he's supposed to be learning some science to talk to Charlotte about later, but is actually about to sword-fight with these little sticks.

She's worn this coat twice before: Once in [2014](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/well-played-kate-wills-and-georges-royal-tour-of-australia-and-new-zealand-day-nineteen-04-2014/), and once in [2016](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/kate-middleton-hampton-court-npg-05-2016/). I am fond of a heathered blue. And of how this angle shows that Harry will soon follow in the Windsor hairline legacy.

![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2017/12/GettyImages-654390696_master-1489765378-compressed-1514348897.jpg)

This St. Patrick's Day event [was right after the Wills Gets Drunk In Verbier On A Lads' Weekend mini-scandale](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/wills-and-kate-celebrate-st-pattys-day-head-off-to-france-pretend-everything-is-fine-03-2017/), and they presumably had to suck it up and pretend she hadn't been ripping him a new one for being a dolt. She looks marvelous, which is the best revenge.

![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2017/12/GettyImages-654470910-1489766156-compressed-1514348912.jpg)

She is also one of those rare creatures who can take her hair down from an updo and have it bounce perfectly, unmarred, into her regular 'do.

## in Jenny Packham

This is a very Kate dress -- she wore it in Paris -- and if in 30 years she's forced to rewear things for George's wedding, it would work nicely. It's pretty, but slightly unimaginative and a HAIR stodgy in the sleeve area.

## in McQueen

![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2017/12/GettyImages-654596492_594_screen-1489791369-compressed-1514348935.jpg)

That's a bit better, and with a variation on her standard black pump.

## in Chanel

![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2017/12/GettyImages-654757800_master-1489864015-compressed-1514348946.jpg)

I THINK Chanel was the only French designer she wore on that trip. Not that it's essential that she do so. But it's interesting to me that she ALSO carried a larger purse than usual and prominently displayed that it was Chanel (though not in this particular pic). I'm a big fan of this suit and I feel like we'll see it late in 2018 once she's recovered from the trifecta of childbirth-wedding-Trooping.

![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2017/12/GettyImages-654757804_master-1489864027-compressed-1514348958.jpg)

This is such a great photo that I couldn't NOT share it again. In my head, they are whispering about how very much they wish they could make out at stuff like this.

![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2017/12/GettyImages-656887536-1490290971-compressed-1514349969.jpg)

I am torn on this one: It's SO CUTE, and I love the checked pattern and the reddish-orange (it might be true red and the lighting in this photo is just off), but the horizontal buttons always read like the back to me, as if she's wearing a coat-dress in reverse.

## in Temperley London

![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2017/12/GettyImages-659245714-1490731049-compressed-1514349979.jpg)

Fab color, same old lace style. I don't know why it bores me more in evening gowns than in her coat/coat-dresses and suits. I think because there feels like more acreage with formalwear that she could explore without veering straight into Deep Plunging Vee.

![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2017/12/GettyImages-659359358_master-1490921816-compressed-1514349989.jpg)

The strappy shoes were a nice surprise. Something about how the light catches them occasionally tricks me into thinking her big toe is bleeding. (It's not.)

## in Marchesa Notte

![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2017/12/GettyImages-664535544-1491332198-compressed-1514349999.jpg)

This is another perfect color on her, and the skirt is so charming. For me, the bodice falls way short of what the rest is selling -- it comes off like it's thinning, or something. They made it mildly less sheer in parts for her; couldn't they have done it in a way that didn't still seem haphazard? (ALSO: RED LIP.) It's a small nit but a good experiment, and I'm sure I'm alone in my pickiness. (I'm used to it.)

## in Missoni

![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2017/12/GettyImages-664818780_master-1491409888-compressed-1514350019.jpg)

This was for a service at Westminster Abbey, and it's a nifty choice -- surprisingly jazzy for her, yet somehow still somber.

![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2017/12/GettyImages-664795024_master-1491409837-compressed-1514350009.jpg)

I also like it from the back.

That is a great suit on her, and I wish she'd worn it with... I mean, a grey shoe could be a good neutral with this, no? Better than beige.

The Duchess of Cambridge visits Farms for City Children to see their work giving young people from inner cities the chance to spend a week on a real working farm. Her Royal Highness joins a school group of pupils and teachers as they muck in around the farm, and will meet children’s author Michael Morpurgo and his wife Clare to learn more about the organisation they founded in 1976\.

Kate's brother did once try to open a saucy cake shop, so it makes double the sense that she'd enjoy this experiene. (Not that it's INTENTIONALLY a saucy cake. It's just saucy-seeming to ME, an inveterate seeker of sauce.)

The last time Kate wore this one, [it was to a garden party with George and Charlotte](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/royally-played-wills-kate-george-charlotte-take-canada-day-six-09-2016/), which yielded LOADS of adorable photos.

This re-wear was spotted at the Olympics and at [an Order of the Garter ceremony](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/ceremonially-played-the-order-of-the-garter-06-2014/). It changes color dramatically based on the light; in some shots it looks a richer blue, and here, almost minty. Maybe it's a Mood Suit. It's not one of my particular favorites, because I'm generally unmoved by satin.

This suit is EXTREMELY SIMILAR to the Rebecca Taylor she wore earlier in this slideshow, but not the same, to the point where I would wonder why she owns both -- before reminding myself that she, and all of us, owns a boatload of closely related striped shirts. 

## in McQueen

I look at these photos and think what a mom Kate is now -- in a nice way; a complimentary way. She IS a mom and she clearly is a hands-on one, because she's stepping right in and wrangling those children, and looks composed and adult but not flashy on her sister's big day. It's kind of like realizing the kid you used to babysit is all grown up, or something.

![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2017/12/wenn31483590-1495292939-compressed-1514351269.jpg)

I could not resist repeating this shot of her smoothing George's hair. In my mind's eye, she licked her thumb first.

![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2017/12/GettyImages-685745538_master-1495293021-compressed-1514351184.jpg)

And this picture of her seeing Pippa is so great. They're seen together so infrequently now that I keep forgetting they're close. I hope they still ARE close.

This outfit on the whole is REALLY jaunty, but I can't decide if I like the sailor capris on her. That might be too awkward a length for me, though I appreciate her swinging at something new.

## in Rochas

Something about the way this is cut balloons a bit on her, but it's a nice pattern. And a pattern, PERIOD. So. I can take it.

This was from [a series of pictures](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/royals-round-up-june-16th-2017-06-2017/) in which William horsed around with little Mia, and then he and Mike did such a sweet and sincere hug... while Mia flopped around and didn't care whether her tights were showing, which is SUCH a kid move. I love it.

It was a scorcher at Royal Ascot this year, so I don't know how she avoided sweat marks and other human foibles. I AM a bit surprised she went with something that was so likely to be VAGUELY see-through in the sun, but at least you can't see anything scandalous.

This is a lovely arrival suit for the family trip to Poland and Germany. I am never a fan of the beige shoes, but I have to give her props for matching them so perfectly to her hose. She looks like a skater who pulls her tights over her boots, a look that we are not fond of here at GFY, but I do at least sort of get it here. She's created a flawless line all the way down her leg. That said, do I like them, especially with white? No, not really. Do I long for a red shoe that matches her bag? Or even a blue one that doesn't? YES I DO.

She picked a Polish designer for this event, and it's SO CLOSE to being cool. But the aggressive Prada-style nipple darts are really giving me boob anxiety. It's where my eye goes immediately, and I wish it weren't so.

A lot of people really loved this dress. My vote on that is going to be unpopular, then. I think she DOES look relaxed and sexy in it, in a way she rarely gets to, but: I am, as you know, never a champion of those little dust ruffles at the bottom of dresses, and I am not wholly confident about what it's doing to the contours of her chest. BOTH of them look a little "HERE GOES NOTHING!!!" about it, and I am at least enjoying that she tried it?

This was another Airplane Suit -- she wore it when they arrived in Germany from Poland -- and as such it's pretty standard yet unimpeachable. It's very pretty on her, and the color is a carefully chosen Prussian Blue.

In 2013, we took the boys to Heidelberg Castle up there on the left. Heidelberg is a GREAT town and the castle is gorgeous. They were just shy of 5 years old and they loved it; you can see the footprint from a knight who leapt out of the castle during a fire, and that story got them hooked on history. (They also had a light-sabre duel with popsicle sticks on the balcony and some passing tourists from Japan started humming the Imperial March at them, which ruled.) THE END.

This is, for me, the best thing she's worn all year. I LOVE IT on her, top to toe, and I would love to see her embrace this kind of thing more often. This is what I imagine Kate would wear all the time if she were just some random posh lady.

This was the opening of the Diana memorial garden, which is likely why she went floral -- it's on-theme! -- and I'm going to decide she had better shoes picked out, but the rain mandated that she go with a safer patent leather. Yes. Let's stick with that.

By this point, Kate had announced her pregnancy, and this was her first outing (I believe). It's... fine! It's FINE. It's very Kate. But I'm not sure it's cocktail-wear.

And that's D&G, it's very nice. I do wonder if she regretted pinning up her hair into the bob, because it seems like she ended up fiddling with it a bit -- as would anyone who was nervous it might not hold -- and that's probably more annoying (for her) than it was worth.

ANOTHER Goat Coat, which is pleasantly rhymey. She's also really into boots right now, which tracks, as it's winter. She seems very happy, which I supoose is a silly thing to say about a lady who is pregnant -- surely she IS happy -- but what I think I'm reacting to is how increasingly comfortable and easy she seems to be on-the-job.

I've got to follow my heart here, y'all, and admit that I do not like this AT ALL. I don't care for the overlay being a bit longer than the dress -- just an awkward-enough amount to look like a mistake even though it's surely not -- and it's just so much like everything else. Just re-wear something if you want that look! You don't need a whole NEW thing that's so much like al the other things. It even evokes a Packham she wore up top in this slideshow, both of which had a dowdy feel to me from the waist up.

I just... the sparkles look cluttered and a bit messy. It's not for me. I stand by thinking that if she's not going off in a different sartorial direction, she could rewear any one of her other 14 gowns that look like this, most of which will probably still fit her gently pregnant body just fine, or would with minor alterations.

However cranky I just was about the Packham is the OPPOSITE of how I feel here. I adore this on her, and with the red accessories.

She joins children in activities in the outdoor learning area and sensory garden and celebrate the 34,000 schools and groups now engaged in gardening through the campaign.

I would really love to look this cute when I'm getting in the muck. ([It was a gardening event](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/kate-gardening-school-11-2017/), which included my favorite pun, "Bug-ingham Palace.")

Wills, meanwhile, got to practice his slapshot. Which seems like as good a time as any to announce that our Royal We sequel will be called *The Royal Wii*, all about how Nick gets addicted to Mario & Sonic at the Winter Olympic Games' hockey stuff.

I assume she has an entire room dedicated to Goat tunic dresses by now. They all work on her, and are clearly what she favors while womb-fruited, which is fine. I just would love to know how many she's got and in what colors. I want to be a fly on her closet wall.

That's custom -- and a re-wear, which, when something is custom, why NOT wear it all over the place? -- and it's well-done and good on her. She loves a vaguely tweedy ensemble. I'm surprised she DOESN'T wear more Chanel. Maybe they won't give it to her/she doesn't want to pay for it. I don't blame her. They won't give it to me either -- and I am JUST like her, obvs -- and I ALSO don't want to pay for it.

And here we are, in her festive Christmas tartan. Some people found it A Bit Too Much, but to me it's charming (I AM biased in favor of plaid, I admit). And as I noted earlier, she opened and closed the year in fur hats -- but DIFFERENT ones, so good on her for starting a collection of those. She looks warm and comfy and completely relaxed.
