With their never-ending circuit of events and engagements, royals are total experts when it comes to dressing for the fall season. Meghan Markle, Kate Middleton, Princess Diana, and even Prince William have all pulled together cool-weather outfits that keep them warm and camera-ready, which is no easy feat! Below, 20 royal fall outfit ideas—from Kate's classic tartan dresses to Meghan's timeless camel coats—that we plan to copy for the rest of the season.

Classic Blazer & Boots

The Princess of Wales understands the value of relying on sturdy basics like a great blazer and lace-up boots for a crisp fall walk. For extra warmth, follow her example and layer a thin knit underneath.

Palmira Tweed Blazer

A versatile houndstooth blazer can be layered under and over for crispy temps.

Unexpected Color Combinations

Purple and green may sound more cartoonish than chic, but a rich aubergine and olive combination stands out and feels autumnally appropriate.

Mason Pant

Olive trousers are a versatile neutral to pair with sweaters or layer with t-shirts and a blazer.

Tartan Print

Kate warded off Scotland's January chill with a fitted tartan coat dress, thick tights, and a coordinated scarf.

Blackwatch Daphne Dress

A tartan coat as cute as this one can be worn with simple booties or statement high heels for an added oomph.

Puffer Jacket

Apparently Meghan borrowed Harry's Norrona jacket for a walk through the redwoods in New Zealand. Swipe the look with an oversize puffer, slim-cut jeans, and loafers.

Aspen Love Puffer Jacket - Black

Borrowing Harry's jacket is likely not an option for the rest of us, so try sizing up on a reliable black puffer like this recycled one from Girlfriend Collective.

New Neutrals

When you are sick of wearing black and gray in cool temps, try softer navy and olive instead, like Meghan did for a rainy day in Bristol.

Pura Wool-Cashmere Wrap Coat

A soft, relaxed navy coat will quickly become your go-to and can be more flattering than black.

Patterns Head-to-Toe

Matching sets à la the 1970s are back and we love the way Queen Elizabeth went all the way with her prints on a 1972 holiday to Balmoral.

Adele Top

An autumnal-printed blouse and matching trousers is a fun investment as they can be worn separately or together.

Hair Scarf

Another Queen-approved style we want to see more of? Hair scarves. They keep your hair in place, add a pop of color, and are easy to tote around once you are inside—unlike that bulky beanie.

Viennese Opera Scarf 45

Not only will Sarah Flint's ornate silk scarf will look chic tied around your head, but it makes for a gorgeous accent draped the neck or tied to your purse.

Belted Coat

From the velvet fascinator to the belted camel coat, this is one of our all-time favorite looks from Princess Beatrice.

Belted Wool Blend Coat

This belted camel coat looks good with absolutely every outfit.

Monochromatic Suit

Despite the fact that it was close to 80 degrees when Meghan and Harry visited New York in September 2 years ago, we still like where this outfit is going and plan to borrow the idea for actual cooler temps. A silky bright set in an oversize cut is perfect for wintry travel days.

Boyfriend Blazer

A slouchy red suit can take you from a long flight to drinks with friends, and is a festive holiday outfit to boot.

Casual-Cool

This is one of the many outfits that made Diana a fashion icon. We can't tell you why the combination of a baseball cap, sweatshirt, blazer, and equestrian boots works so well, but it just does.

Black Satin-Lined Baseball Hat

For those of us who don't have a vintage baseball cap lying around, this one is simple and lined in satin to avoid the dreaded hat hair.

Tan & Black

Slip a tan jacket over a sleek black turtleneck dress for an instant pulled-together outfit.

Cotton-Blend Turtleneck Dress

There is nothing chicer than a simple black turtleneck dress.

Preppy Headband

Sometimes, it's all in the accessories, as Princess Eugenie proved with a headband to match her outfit.

Velvet Knotted Headband

Let's just say even Blair Waldorf would also approve of this knotted headband.

Denim Dress

The Duchess of Sussex proved that denim dresses are a "do" during the cooler season.

Long-Sleeve Button-Front Chino Dress

Pair this with pumps as Meghan did, or wear it with tights and boots for a cozy-cute look.

Equestrian Casual

Princess Anne does not get enough credit for her equestrian-influenced style. Throw an oversize jacket over leggings and finish with riding boots for an on-the-go outfit that can still make front-page news.

Long Tassel Boot - Conker

If you're going to lean into the riding boots trend, make sure it's a pair from a royal-approved brand.

Bright Hues

Don't be afraid of bright hues in the fall and winter, they add a cheery dose of color to a dreary day and double as an instant mood-lifter.

New Daphne Topcoat in Italian Boiled Wool

A sunny coat takes any outfit up to an 11.

Elegant Blouse

In recent years, the Princess of Wales has been making the case for a polished bow blouse, and we can't get enough of the style.

Button Up Bow Tie Blouse

This elegant blouse can easily take you from an office meeting to date night without a second thought.

Velvet Blazer

You know what? Prince William is quite the fashion plate these days. Case in point: This luxe green velvet blazer layered on top of a black turtleneck combination that we plan on copying ASAP.

Velvet Single-Breasted Blazer

How festive is this blazer for the holidays? We never thought we would say it but we will happily take outfit inspo from Prince William.

Playful Scarf

To be clear, Kate wore this ensemble to meet with Scouts, but adding a silk scarf is a foolproof way to enliven the staple jacket-and-boots outfit.

Get the Look

This little accessory was the staple you didn't know you needed, scout's honor.

Statement Sweater

A quirky sweater, like Princess Diana's bright pink knit with llamas, makes an otherwise neutral outfit a real head-turner.

Cashmere Intarsia Sweater

Give the whimsical look a go with a horse-themed knit.

Timeless Tweed

When you want to look polished, slip on a tweed jacket. Take note from one of Kate's previous fall ensembles: She paired a royal blue jacket with on-trend wide-leg trousers.
