Kate Middleton was elegance personified in olive green coat with skinny jeans and knee high boots

The Princess of Wales showed how versatile olive green can be when she styled her Reiss coat with one of her staple outfits in 2015

The Princess of Wales was the epitome of elegance when she styled her olive green Reiss coat with skinny jeans and knee high boots.

Whilst many of us might be excited to add a pop of colour to our winter outfits the reality can often be a little challenging as we try to find the right tones that work day-to-day. Our winter capsule wardrobe is full of neutral staples and when it comes to incorporating more shades the easiest way is to choose more muted hues. Olive green is a gorgeous example as it’s mid-way between a brighter colour and a neutral – and it’s one of the Princess of Wales’s favourites too. In the colder months a lot of her coats and jumpers are earthy green shades and olive is a lovely, more subtle alternative to the current colour of the season, burgundy.

We particularly admire Kate’s olive green Reiss coat with the asymmetric neckline that she wore for a visit to North Wales in 2015. In winter our coats are often the main focus of all our outfits and the Princess of Wales’s mid-length coat certainly deserved to be.
