Kate Middleton wore a long sleeve maxi dress and a long checked coat

Welcome to The Blueprint, where we break down the celebrity looks we want to wear right now and put them together piece by piece.

While Kate Middleton’s closet couldn’t look more different than my own (I’m still working on amassing an extensive collection of royal jewelry), one winter-ready staple has earned a spot our two winter wardrobes: a comfortably warm coat.

On January 14, the Princess of Wales visited the Royal Marsden Hospital in London. She wore an ankle-length brown checked coat over a burgundy long-sleeved turtleneck dress, which she paired with a matching handbag and pointed heels.

Not only was the princess’ coat reminiscent of outerwear we’d seen her in before, but her style of dress also seemed a little familiar. Kelly Clarkson wore a similar long-sleeved maxi dress while hosting an episode of The Kelly Clarkson Show just last week, and Juliane Moore gave the silhouette her fashion seal of approval in December.

Levi’s tea length double breasted blazer

I practically live in long coats in the winter (no cropped styles here), and this Kate-inspired option would be a great addition to my cold-weather wardrobe. Its trendy check pattern and stately lapels closely resemble the princess’ look, and several reviewers note that it’s as “comfy and warm” as it is cute. Additionally, one shopper who received the coat for free said it “feels like a weighted blanket in the best possible way.” Grab it today on sale starting at $119.

Wide rib turtleneck maxi dress from Banana Republic

Kate wore her polished coat over a burgundy turtleneck dress, and this option from Banana Republic fits her flattering style perfectly. Available in sizes XXS to XXL, this dress is made from a soft and silky jersey fabric that stretches and conforms to your body. Its ankle-grazing length makes it a smart choice for cool weather, and one shopper said the fabric’s ribbed texture “adds just the right amount of elegance.”

Looking for a thicker turtleneck dress to cozy up with this season? This knitting option from Antholopogie is a no-brainer for your winter wardrobe.
