If there’s one thing I consistently look to the Princess of Wales for, it’s a lesson in polished, understated dressing. Kate Middleton has long perfected a capsule wardrobe built on clean lines, impeccable tailoring and refined accessories that feel timeless rather than trend-led. The overall effect is measured but never flat, and while designer staples play a key role, considered high-street pieces remain a constant thread in her wardrobe.
Her affinity for Zara’s blazers is well documented, but Kate’s high-street jewellery choices deserve equal recognition. As someone who loves jewellery but has a realistic budget, I know how hard it is to find affordable pieces that don’t lose their shine after a few wears. That’s why the Princess’s long-standing support of Monica Vinader has always stood out. The brand’s quietly elegant designs align effortlessly with her sleek, pared-back aesthetic, and one piece in regular rotation is the Monica Vinader Nura Necklace—a delicate, subtly sculptural update on the classic pearl necklace. Its simplicity makes it easy to style, offering a refined finishing touch that works seamlessly with everything from tailored coats to evening looks.
