Kate Middleton’s Khaki Leopard Print Dress Styled Knee High Boots

Kate Middleton’s khaki leopard print dress styled with knee high boots are a style pairing that deserves another chance to shine.

The leopard print trend isn’t going anywhere this autumn and when it comes to bringing together this statement print with the earthy hues that are so popular right now, it doesn’t come much more fabulous than the Princess of Wales’s Derek Lam dress. She wore this midi-length shirt dress when she visited Shout, the mental health text service, which marked reaching over one million conversations with those in need.

Kate’s dress for this meaningful engagement featured so many of the details that she loves, from blouson sleeves, to a fit-and-flare silhouette. The high neckline and midi length were so elegant and typical of the Princess of Wales’ style too and the subtle ruffle running along the bottom hem added a feminine edge.

The colour palette of Kate’s dress was perfect for this time of year and if you haven’t already added khaki or olive green pieces to your autumn capsule wardrobe, you might just be tempted now. An earthy, muted green like the tone of Kate’s leopard print dress is so wearable and works with neutrals, as well as with other autumnal hues like burgundy or even a brighter red. It’s a brilliant colour to wear if you want to embrace more colours for the season but you aren’t a fan of anything too bold day-to-day.

The leopard print design of the Princess of Wales’s dress incorporated black and a slightly lighter green within the rosettes and whilst the pattern was distinct, it wasn’t overwhelmingly statement. Having a darker background shade like this muted green tends to balance out leopard print and make it easier to style than a warm-toned, classic leopard print.

The Princess of Wales tied in her accessories to the spot detailing and added a chunky black belt that accentuated her waist, as well as a pair of knee high boots. In the colder months, knee high boots are perhaps her most reached-for boots when she wants her outfits to be cosy yet on the smarter side for royal visits

Having so much of your leg covered in fabric keeps you warm and depending on whether you choose flat or heeled knee high boots, you can effortlessly dress down or dress up an autumn/winter outfit, or simply make it more practical. Kate’s boots for her visit to Shout had high heels and looked to have been suede, which brought softness to her look.
