Although the guiding theme in the Duchess's outfits is royal grace, it doesn't mean there's a lack of style or comfort. Kate Middleton has proven many times that her outfits can be both elegant and fashionable. It's undeniable that dresses make up a large part of her wardrobe. It's easy to notice that the Duchess's favorite style, which she often chooses, is one that sculpts the figure with a belt. See how this detail can work wonders for the silhouette.

The first piece is the dress from the Duchess's recent visit to a hospice. There's a lot going on here, all thanks to the black and white houndstooth pattern. Unfortunately, such patterned styles often tend to widen the figure. However, the Duchess cleverly avoided this effect by choosing a belt that clearly emphasized her waist and added a fashionable touch. The "cherry on top" of this creation was the decorative bow located right under the neck.

Another option from Duchess Kate is a knitted beige dress. This model is a great choice, especially in the autumn-winter period, because it is not only stylish but also provides warmth and comfort. In this case, the Duchess highlighted her waist by adding a brown belt, giving the simple dress a more feminine and graceful shape.

A powder pink dress with a belt is perfect for warm spring days. In this case, the wide belt created a "wow" effect and perfectly slimmed the silhouette. It is also impossible to ignore the color, which added a youthful glow and ideally brightened the complexion. It is worth noting that powder colors have an incredible power to make us look much younger and more radiant.

Finally, a green airy dress. This is a color that is associated with spring like no other. Therefore, such an option is ideal for the upcoming season. Of course, the main feature here is again the belt, but in a more minimalist version. As you can see, even such a small detail can transform the silhouette and slim the waist.
