Kate Middleton's Style - Mastering the art of Replikating

Good day everybody, today's post dives into the question how to master the art of copying Kate Middleton's style without the royal price tag.

What is a Replikate? 
A Replikate is a piece of clothing that closely resembles the style of the Duchess of Cambridge and that is considered to be an item that would seamlessly integrate in Kate's royal closet.

So, that means that Replikates are usually expensive items? 
No, not at all! Kate is known for her love of high street stores and her visits to designer outlets. She manages to strike a balance by mixing up clothes from the high street with designer items. The same principle applies to the art of Replikating. An tiem that would be very 'Kate' would not necessarily have to be very expensive.

Okay, so where do I find a Replikate? 
Well, that is up to your preference and your creativity. There are a number of great blogs that search for Replikates, but you can do it yourself obviously. Each time you see a great piece worn by Kate and you wish to copy it, find out what properties that particular piece has:

Colour 

 Material 

 Fit, cut, and/or length

Brand
Style 

In other words, what colour is she wearing and what material? Then you can decide which properties are most important to Replikate. Do you like Kate's choice of colours or her choice of designers? It is fun to tweak and adjust Kate's style to your own preferences and lifestyle!

You can find some Replikates on this very blog here and I will be posting my own Replikate-purchases soon.

Enjoy!
