Kate Middleton and Duchess Sophie's 2026 wardrobe staple is an elegant alternative to denim jackets

The Princess of Wales and Duchess of Edinburgh rely on a lot of the same style staples to create their elegant outfits and their latest favourite is a stunning option for spring. Both royals stepped out within days of each other wearing very similar chocolate brown blazers this month.

Lighter than a winter coat, blazers still provide warmth on a chilly day and their colour of choice is not only very on-trend, but practical. Duchess Sophie wore hers first when she opened the Brendoncare Foundation’s new Knightwood Community Hub and Kate reached for hers for a visit to Castle Hill Academy to mark Place2Be’s Children’s Mental Health Week.
