If there is one thing we absolutely love doing when the weather gets colder, it's purchasing a brand new coat to keep out those autumnal chills.

One of the colour ways she does particularly well is pastels, and we think we've found the ideal coat that we know she (and you) will enjoy. Take a look at Marks & Spencer's 'Belted Single Breasted Tailored Coat.' Costing a very reasonable £59,  this lovely number is designed in the brightest pastel lilac and currently, all sizes are available.

Kate wore a pastel Mulberry coat in 2019

Our favourite pastel coat Kate has worn was back in 2019, when she visited Northern Ireland with husband Prince William. The royal memorably wore a retro style, baby-blue cape coat dress by Mulberry with a chic belted waist. She added navy blue high heel shoes and carried a smart box clutch.

Many have said it's one of Kate's most directional coats as not only does it feature the cape, but the pastel colour is bold and crisp; she tends to favour coats in primary colours, so this number was a welcome change for the royal.
