Kate Middleton’s Back-to-School Dress Is Sold Out, So Shop These 5 Options Instead
To no one’s surprise, Kate Middleton put her best fashion foot forward for back-to-school season today.
When the 37-year-old Duchess of Cambridge dropped off Princess Charlotte (4) for her first day of school with Prince George (6) at Thomas’s Battersea Day School, she was positively glowing in a MICHAEL Michael Kors red-and-purple floral patterned shirtdress. The feminine frock is not only super cute, but it’s also a royal re-wear. She sported it on her way to Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s wedding rehearsal, in fact.
The Duchess of Cambridge’s floral number retails for $175, but it’s now sold out, of course, thanks to the Middleton effect. And while we’d love to get our hands on that exact knee-length belted ensemble, at the very least we found some similar options that are still available…for now. Here, five dresses that put out all the Kate Middleton back-to-school vibes.
All in Favor Floral Print Long-Sleeve Midi Dress
Sure, it’s not as vibrant as the duchess’s version, but its buttoned sleeves and belted waist make it a close second.
MICHAEL Michael Kors Enchanted Bloom Midi Dress
The dad sneakers and fanny pack purse aren’t necessarily Middleton’s style, but the dress definitely is.
BUY IT: ($123, down from $175)
ERDEM Glenys floral ponte jersey dress
Middleton has worn Erdem plenty of times and with this print and we have a feeling she’d totally add this to cart.
BUY IT: ($675, down from $965)
CHELSEA28 Floral & Dot Print Tiered Wrap Dress
If you’re vibing with the shape of Duchess Catherine’s dress, consider this option.
