When I think of people with elegant style, Kate Middleton instantly pops into my head. Given that she's a princess and all, it's to be expected that she'd have the most polished wardrobe on the planet, but it's a modern kind of elegance that she has. Much of what she wears could quite easily be replicated by non-royalty, which is undoubtedly part of why we're all so obsessed with what she wears. Not only that, an elegant, "quiet luxury" wardrobe is a major theme in fashion right now, as you know.

If it's effortless elegance you seek when shopping, a good mantra to keep in mind is, What would Kate Middleton wear? I did just that while scrolling through J.Crew and H&M, and it worked. I found the most elegant pieces that both retailers stock in one fell swoop—everything from outerwear to shoes are present and accounted for. Keep scrolling to add them to your own elegant, Kate Middleton–inspired wardrobe.
