It's been a busy year so far for the Duchess of Cambridge! The pregant royal has attended a number of official engagements already this month, dressing her baby bump in a series of stylish coats that have totally brightened up our dreary January. On 17 January, Kate championed high street label Boden for the very first time, donning a beautiful red dress coat which retails at an affordable £220. On closer inspection, the coat features ruffles at the collar, pockets and the sleeves – a slightly different style for the Duchess, and the perfect new addition to her winter wardrobe. On 16 January, meanwhile, Kate dazzled onlookers in Coventry by recycling the fuchsia pink Mulberry coat she first wore when she was pregnant with Princess Charlotte in 2015. In celebration of the Duchess' enviable coat collection, we have rounded up a selection of striking red designs so you can channel Kate for less!
Long line coats are a fabulous item to have in your wardrobe as they cover your entire outfit and instantly give you a smart finish. This gorgeous design by Peacocks features two handy front pockets, large statement buttons and a blazer style neckline which would be perfect for formal wear.
£55, Peacocks
If you can't stretch your budget to Duchess Kate's Boden number – this design by La Redoute is a dead ringer! It even comes with the Peter Pan collar detail and prominent pockets and button fastening in a double breasted style. If you fancy opting for a different shade, it is even made in a bold green hue which would be great for the spring.
£59, La Redoute
Wool blended coats have to be some of the cosiest materials out there – and are even better when they are fashion-forward too! H&M have a great selection of outwear and this pillar-box red coat doesn’t disappoint! It features notch lapels, is fully lined and has handy welt side pockets to store all your bits and pieces.
£39.99, H&M
It's great to have an oversize coat in your collection as not only does it keep you super warm, it adds a directional stance to your outfit as boxy fits are all the range! We love this Miss Selfridge bargain which is currently reduced from £75. Wear over jeans and a smart roll neck for the ultimate in winter chic.
£38, Miss Selfridge
Stay warm yet stylish with this orange-toned red coat from Topshop. The vibrant shade would pep up any ensemble quickly and easily and is suitable for both the day time and to cover your party dress in the evening. We love the contrasting button fastening and wide lapels.
