Reasons Kate Middleton Prefers Striped Tops

Kate Middleton always grabs attention with her outfits, whether she’s at a fancy event or visiting one of her many charities.

Interestingly, it’s not just British brands that she loves; she often wears pieces with French history too. For example, the Breton-stripe shirt or sweater is something she tends to wear when she needs a boost in confidence. Experts say this striped attire serves as a sort of security blanket for Kate. She’s been seen in both navy and black versions since joining the royal family, sticking to this classic look even when delivering important messages like congratulating Team GB on their Paris Olympics performance or sharing serious news about her health.

We sometimes find comfort in familiar things just like Kate does with her striped tops.

Fashion editor Clemmie Fieldsend mentions that these Breton stripes have become almost like a uniform for Kate, making her feel relaxed and assured during tough times. This consistency is not only comforting for her but for the public as well. The Breton style has been around for ages and brings a sense of reliability—much like the royals themselves.

It’s fun to know that these stripes were originally part of the French Navy’s uniform before becoming fashionable thanks to Coco Chanel. Kate’s collection includes high-end pieces from Erdem as well as more affordable options and even some items from Ralph Lauren.

And it’s not just Kate! Meghan Markle also enjoys this preppy striped look. đź‘—
