Kate Middleton's secret to a chic, slimmer silhouette

While 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 the largest part of her wardrobe. It's easy to notice that the Duchess's favourite style, which she willingly chooses, is one that sculpts the figure with a belt. See how this detail can work wonders with 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 models often tend to widen the figure. However, the Duchess cleverly avoided this effect by choosing a belt that clearly emphasised her waist and added a fashionable touch. The "cherry on top" of this creation was the decorative bow located right under the neck.

Another proposal from Duchess Kate is a knitted beige dress. This model is a great option, 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 colour, which added a youthful glow and ideally brightened the complexion. It is worth noting that powder colours have an incredible power, making us look much younger and more radiant.

Finally, a green airy dress. This is a colour that is associated with spring like no other. Therefore, such an option will be 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.
