Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge’s red puffer jacket is the ultimate winter wardrobe staple for 2022

When winter settles in, we tend to reach for neutral colours when picking out outfits.

Dressing head to toe in blacks and greys is a classic win, but in our eyes a pop of colour is a game-changer – and it’s something Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge knows all too well.

If you’re not convinced a burst of brightness with your black jeans is worth the investment, just see how Kate rocked the red puffer, as pictured below while visiting a tennis court in Birmingham in 2017 which she wore again whilst Christmas tree shopping in 2019.

The royal style icon also wore a similar statement piece but with white panelling during a trip to Sweden and Norway with Prince William in 2018.

When it comes to the cut of her jackets, Kate likes a structured and straight-lined fit that looks sleek with her favourite pairs of skinny jeans.

However, if you’re looking for a 2022 edit of her look, we suggest shopping for an oversized cut and styling it with straight legged pants.

There is no denying that winter can make us feel a tad glum, but Kate proves that a colourful coat will inevitably bring you out of your chilly slump.

To shop for your own statement puffer jacket, we have found a slew of pieces that will fit right into your neutral wardrobe – from Kate’s red numbers to other on-trend hues.
