The Princess of Wales knows her way around a great coat. And for casual dressing, we (along with everyone else) have noticed that the stylish royal returns to one British brand again and again: Barbour.
In newly released photos from a visit to Dose of Nature, a mental health charity in London, she looked extremely chic in the tan and brown ‘Edith’ Waxed-Cotton Jacket from the brand’s collaboration with Alexa Chung. She finished the look with a navy sweater and blue jeans, reminding us that some of the best winter outfits are often the simplest.
But, if you adore her outfits as much as we do, you’ll know this actually isn’t the first time Kate wore this piece. She first wore the jacket in 2020 and brought it back for a visit to Wales in April 2023. With its corduroy collar, roomy pockets and classic waxed finish, it’s easy to see why she’s kept it in her rotation.
Of course, longtime royal fashion followers will know this isn’t her first Barbour jacket sighting. Just last month, Kate wore her trusty olive-green Winter Defence Wax Jacket with a cozy Fair Isle sweater. She’s been photographed in the style for years, proving that the best wardrobe pieces are worth wearing on repeat.
Of course, with most of her other staples, the Barbour jacket comes with a rather hefty price tag – an unsurprising fact, considering back in 2025, her coat collection was estimated to be worth roughly £20k. So, if you’re looking to replicate her look – but for much less, look to the high street, who have similar styles in spades. Shop them below.
