New Look Blue Tile Print Grandad Midi Shirt DressNew Look

Kate embraced the British summertime at the 2024 Wimbledon Tennis Championships in a gorgeous blue Beulah London maxi dress which was very reminiscent of one which Kate Middleton wore to a charity Polo match in July 2023, making it a double Kate-approved look.

Whilst this isn't an exact match, we have found one which is a fraction of the price from high street brand New Look. Just like Kate's this features a bold print that will work for various events from picnics with the family, to a statement holiday outfit. It also comes with a built-in waist belt to cinch you in and highlight your natural silhouette.

Pros

  • Belted
  • Flattering midi length

Cons

  • Lightweight fabric not the best for colder months

Never Fully Dressed Red and Pink Lace SuitNever Fully Dressed

A power suit is a must in everyone's wardrobes and this option which Kate wore to present Good Morning Britain is a great choice. From the delicate lace work that elevates the plain blazer and trousers, to the rich red colour, you can wear these pieces together or separately to not only jazz up your everyday looks but it makes for great cost-per-wear too.

You can buy the matching trousers here.

Pros

  • Comes with coordinating shirt
  • Bold colour
  • Easy button fastening

Cons

  • Colour may run when washing

Red floral dress

Best floral shirt

This playful printed dress Kate wore is a beautifully printed number by Really Wild London which you can buy here for a staggering £595, however, it is currently on sale for £375.

We have found a much more affordable alternative from M&Co which will give off the exact same summer-inspired mood which Kate's designer option does. This fun take on the classic shirt-style dress is perfect to give your outfit a smart/casual edge as you style with crisp white trainers for a daytime look. Make it work for evening affairs with a red or pink heel or sandal.

Pros

  • Flattering style
  • Fun print
  • Bright colour

Cons

  • Only available from a size 10

Finery London Red Floral Collared Midi Tiered DressFinery London

Kate is a fan of the brand Really Wild London as this dress also comes from there, sadly with an expensive price tag of £575. If you would like to buy this investment piece then you can here. However, we looked on the high street for something very similar and this option from Finery London is just the one.

From the tiered skirt, smart collar, cuffed sleeves, to the button up fastening, this punch print makes for a brilliant all-year-around style to have in your wardrobe.

Pros

  • Great midi length
  • Smart edge with collar

Cons

  • Not exact match to Kate's

A white blazer is one item which everyone should have in their wardrobes. Not only is it super flattering but it will go with absolutely everything. Just like Kate, rock it with a pair of navy blue trousers or wear with a white maxi skirt for smart boho vibes.

Price: $51 (WAS £128)

Kate wowed in this pink and yellow check suit from Nobody's Child, which is sadly now sold out. But have no worries as we have found a similar style from Paisie which is currently on sale. Opting for a coloured suit over a traditional grey/ black will provide more styling opportunity. This pink check is great for every season from Spring to Autumn.

The blazer comes with an elevated button fastening with a chic addition of a belt. It comes with a relaxed fit so you don't feel restricted as you layer up in the colder months, or keep it breezy in the warmer seasons. The trousers also come in a relaxed fit but helps create a sleek silhouette.

You can buy the matching trousers here.

Pros

  • Stylish belt fastening
  • Timless print

Cons

  • Colour may run
  • Advised to hand wash only

Best co-ord

FatFace Pink Paisley Printed Co-ordFatFace

Attending the 2024 TRIC Awards, Kate sported an amazing abstract printed co-ord from designer label The Fold which has unfortunately sold out. However, we've got you covered with a similar inspired outfit that will be a sure hit no matter when or wherever you wear it.

FatFace have launched a paisley printed two-piece that is a must to snap up to get a similar look to Kate's. From the puff sleeve detail to the wrap over style blouse which makes for a slimming silhouette, this isn't an outfit to miss out on.

But the matching trousers here.

Nothing screams sophistication more than a white lace dress. Whilst it might seem a dangerous colour to sport, especially if you've got grandchildren running around (top stylist tip: carry a stain remove pen in your handbag), this is a go-to classic which you can re-wear over and over again. Add pops of colour with bold accessories or keep cool with white trainers and monochrome extras.

Great Plains Red Maxi Dress Great Plains
Price: $35 (WAS £89)

www.greatplains.co.uk

While we can no longer get the original from Laura Ashley (sob) this is a pretty good match for this captivating red number. At half price it's quite a steal. The candy cane stripe detail and full sleeves are super flattering, just add a pair of heels and you'll be ready to paint the town red.

Pros

  • Expensive sheen finish
  • Flattering round neckline

Cons

  • Not strikingly similar to Kate's original dress

What type of dress is best for mature women?

Any dress is best for mature women, there is no type of dress that you should or shouldn't wear. If you're looking for a dress that flatters you though, opt for a long sleeve midi dress or long-sleeve maxi dress. You'll find that the majority of Kate Garraway's dresses are this length.

But what makes a long-sleeved dress so flattering? They make your arms look longer and in turn make them appear slimmer, which is perfect if that's a look you're trying to achieve.

What colour dress looks best for all occasions?

A blue will almost certainly work for any occasion you can think of, and is a perfect transitional shade for any month or season of the year. Red works too, but maybe don't choose a red for formal occasions such as a wedding. Though Kate Garraway's dresses look as though they are picked for certain occasions, the majority of them could be pulled off throughout the year.
