With the temperatures slowly rising, our dear duchess Kate Middleton will start to leave her famous coat-dress combos in her closet and pull out some more weather-appropriate ensembles. Kate is famous for her classic royal style, opting for more conservative colors, styles, and patterns, but when it comes to the spring season, she isn't afraid to get adventurous with her clothing. It's the season for bright colors, pretty pastels, and lots of florals, so why shouldn't the Duchess of Cambridge follow suit with the rest of us? Over the years, she's given us some rock star outfits to drool over, and a lot of them have been all too fitting for springtime.
Whether the duchess needs to wear a ballgown or a simple sundress, she has an outfit that will work, and she is always (and we mean always) on point with the season. When it's the dead of winter, she steps out in a perfectly matching coat/dress/clutch ensemble. And when it's spring, she hits us with the perfect flowery and flowy dress. Yes, Kate does tend to wear a lot of softer colors and floral patterns, but no matter how many times she wears a springtime look, it always looks fresh and new on her. The command she has over fashion will never cease to amaze us, and we always look forward to a change in season, because that means we'll be getting some new styles from the duchess.
And with spring just around the corner, we can't wait to see what the duchess has up her perfectly styled sleeve. So, in honor of the outfits to come, here are some of Kate Middleton's best spring looks so far.
Peachy for Spring
It's hard to go wrong with wearing a subtle blush color for springtime. Kate even made this color work for her own personal pregnancy style!
Sunny Yellow
Nothing says warmer weather quite like a bright shade of yellow. And Kate's decision to wear this dress to a tennis match surely was appropriate.
Light Ballgown
Ballgowns have their place in spring too! With the weather warming up ever so slightly, it's time to break out the short sleeves.
Spring Florals
Florals and the spring season go hand in hand, so it's really no wonder why Kate opted for this flowery dress.
Dreamy Cream
Sure, we love to think of pinks, yellows, and bright blues as being perfect for springtime, but let's not forget about the cream colors! We love the way this Victorian-inspired dress looks on our duchess.
Spring Wedding Attire
Although Kate wore this dress to Princess Eugenie's wedding in October, we have a feeling it would be just as appropriate in April. Pink never really goes out of season, does it?
Lovely Blush Combo
Pale pink will undoubtedly never truly go out of style, and it looks like our dear duchess knows this. She has plenty of blush-colored dresses in her closet, but this one is especially sweet for spring.
The Perfect Spring Dress
OK, so we think Kate definitely found the absolute perfect spring dress. The colors, the pattern, the style — it all screams springtime.
Ready For Spring Rains
Yes, spring means slightly warmer temps, but it also means lots of rainy days. Luckily, being used to the London climate, Kate is more than prepared. She can look stylish no matter what Mother Nature decides!
Pretty Lilac
Now if this isn't the perfect spring color, then we don't know what is. Kate has worn this lilac dress on several occasions, and it's easy to see why.
Cheers to Spring
The duchess doesn't do off-the-shoulder often, but leave it to warmer weather to get the duchess to show a bit more skin. Cheers, right?
The Brighter the Better
Unlike most people, Kate doesn't shy away from brighter colors. On several occasions, she's rocked the brightest of yellows and somehow looks amazing in all of them.
Can't Go Wrong With Floral
Although it's done every season, there really is nothing wrong with opting for a floral dress once the calendar hits March or April. Flowers are always in style, no?
Always Pretty In Pink
It doesn't just have to be softer pinks for the spring season. Kate broke out a bolder shade for the Trooping the Color ceremony, and we approve.
Easter Green
Spring is the time for pastels, isn't it? Kate has just about every color we could ever imagine in her closet, but we're big fans of this light green coat and dress duo.
Perfect Transition Outfit
It can still be chilly at the start of spring (especially in London), so long sleeves might still be the best option. Kate found this perfect coat-dress combo in a light blue color that will still keep her cozy during the transition days!
Go Bolder
Who says a bold red doesn't have its place during the springtime? We would love to see Kate bring back this eye-catching look again this spring.
Casual for Spring
A duchess can't wear floral dresses all the time. Kate broke out one of her trusty classic striped top and paired it with some casual pants.
Vision of Spring
Everything from Kate's glowy makeup down to her small clutch coordinates in this perfect peachy ensemble. There's absolutely no doubt this duchess knows how to match her seasons.
Soft & Flowy
The more flowy, the better! That's how we like to live our lives during the spring, and it looks like the duchess would agree with us.
Fun Geometrics
Kate usually keeps it conservative when it comes to patterns on her dresses, and only on rare occasions does she branch out. We're glad she decided to make this bold decision just in time for warmer weather!
Got the Butterflies
Well, when it's the spring season, it is appropriate to have flowers and butterflies on a dress, right? Interesting choice from Kate, but we couldn't love it more.
Back to Basics
Sometimes, simple really is the name of the game! Kate does the classics better than anyone, so it's no surprise that she could rock this creamy blush dress like it were a fancy ballgown.
Fit for the Match
These two newlyweds are glowing off of their post-wedding thrill, but we can't help but focus on how beautiful Kate looked in that soft multicolored sundress.
Cohesive Look
The whole family was ready for springtime at Pippa Middleton's wedding! And we have another prime example of Kate rocking the perfect blush color.
Just Like a Tennis Ball
There's something Kate really loves about wearing bright yellow to Wimbledon, and if she wants to match the tennis ball being swatted around, then we support that. Keep those sunny dresses coming, duchess!
Springtime Green
We don't know if Kate was trying to match the nature around her perfectly, but she certainly succeeded. She tends to fit in wherever she goes, so we aren't surprised.
Natural Match
The combination of the bright green nature behind Kate and her beautiful steel-gray dress is sheer perfection. Kate looked absolutely radiant, and yes, we're all insanely jealous.
More & More Florals
Now this had to be the ultimate spring moment for Kate. Flowers on the dress and flowers in her hands — can't beat that, no?
The Perfect Sundress
OK — so how do we get our hands on this dress? We know Kate wore it many years ago, but is there any hope of her letting us borrow it sometime?
Cheery Red
Kate's bright red dress is almost as radiant as that beautiful smile of hers! We like to see Kate venturing out into bolder colors — especially in spring.
Subtle Yellow
Compared to some of the brighter shades of yellow Kate has worn over the years, this butter-yellow color is subtle. Low-key, but still just as beautiful!
Showing Some Arm
When the temperatures start rising, even a duchess needs to start showing some more skin. We're sure the queen wouldn't object to Kate showing off her arms a little bit, right?
She's Blushin'
What a surprise — Kate's wearing blush pink again! Honestly, we don't think we'll ever get tired of seeing the duchess rocking this color, and we're even more excited that Meghan Markle seems to have adopted it as well.
A Rosy Vision
Spring means flowers are starting to pop up, so why not just look like the flower. Kate's rosy ensemble is the perfect evening wear for springtime — not that we'd be wearing formal dresses anytime soon.
Minty Green
Now here's a color we don't see the duchess wear very often! When Kate wears green, she usually opts for a bright green or an army green, but we have to say that she looks just as radiant in this minty shade.
Like Mom, Like Son
So, we don't know what we love more … Prince George's swagger or Kate's super casual spring outfit. The duchess sure does love her stripey Breton tops — and we can see why!
Bright Pink
Just because it can still be pretty cold during the spring months doesn't mean we can't start breaking out the bright colors early. Kate's bright pink coat says that she's warm … but also in keeping with the season.
Pre-Labor Day
Everyone knows you have to wear as much white as possible in spring and summer, and it looks like Kate had a head start this year. Or maybe she was really just reminiscing about the white of her wedding dress.
Pretty Blush
Even in her early royal days, Kate broke out the blush colors as soon as the weather started cooperating. How she got her fascinator to match perfectly, we'll never know.
