Can you believe we've only got one more month of summer to go?

Before we know it, the mornings are going to become super chilly, it's going to get dark at 5pm, and we'll all be Googling manically trying to get our hands on a cosy winter coat to keep us warm, that also won't break the bank.

And if you're looking for a bit of celebrity inspiration to help you decide what kind of coat you want to wear this winter, look no further than the style worn by royal fashion icons Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle this month.

These stylish royals are currently in the middle of winter in the northern hemisphere, so they ensured they were wrapped up and protected against the elements when out and about.

Interestingly, both women shunned the traditional black jacket and instead wore camel coats by Spanish brand Massimo Dutti.

Meghan also wore a camel coat for her first official public engagement for 2020, wearing Massimo Dutti at Canada House in London. Getty

While Meghan and Kate looked incredibly chic, sadly Massimo Dutti's coats are well outside our price range, so we've gone on the hunt for some affordable dupes that are still super stylish.

Stradivarius is a super cool Spanish brand and we love their take on the camel coat. This double-breasted wool blend number costs $120 from ASOS, and dare we say looks pretty similar to the version Kate wore! Supplied

Here's another winner from Stradivarius. A belted coat like this $140 one from ASOS will ensure you're kept rugged up on those chilly mornings. Supplied

If you live in a warmer climate, say in Queensland, a bit woolly coat isn't really necessary. But this lighter option from plus-size brand Only Carmakoma is made of a lightweight cotton, perfect for when you need just a thin layer on top. $78 from The Iconic. Supplied

Uk retailer Marks and Spencer now ships online to Australia! They have lots of cute affordable clothes, including this $129 camel coat. It comes with a belt, so you can wear it open or done up. FYI, it also comes in black and pale blue. Supplied
