Kate Middleton Loves This Style of Coat so Much, She Keeps Buying It in Different Colors

After a fancy evening at the BAFTA Awards and a stylish afternoon amongst fashion's elite, Kate Middleton has resumed her royal duties. On Wednesday morning, the Duchess of Cambridge stepped out in Sunderland, England, to open an arts and music center. For the occasion, she wore a custom, military-inspired Dolce & Gabbana coat, which she accessorized with a matching clutch, black gloves, tights, and a pair of suede Tod's pumps.

If this outfit looks familiar, it's because Kate sported a very similar style during the royal tour of Norway and Sweden. Of course, the duchess has worn quite a few outerwear pieces over the years, but as double-breasted coats seem to be a firm fashion favorite, seeing her invest in similar-looking pieces isn't really a surprise. After all, her future sister-in-law Meghan Markle does the same thing. Ahead, get a closer look at her full outfit, see the Seraphine Phaedra maternity dress ($259) she wore underneath her jacket, then shop similar coats for yourself.
