"Hearst Magazines and Yahoo may earn commission or revenue on some items through these links."

There comes a time every winter when it feels like we've been rotating between the same three or four sweaters, and we've exhausted all possible cute cold-weather outfits to wear. If you're running low on fashion inspiration too, who better to take a style cue from than Kate Middleton? Whether it's a pretty floral frock for spring, a timeless polka dot outfit for summer, or an elegant cape coat for fall, the Princess of Wales knows a thing or two about stylish seasonal dressing—so it shouldn't come as a surprise she'd know how to dress appropriately for this time of year either. Here, take a look at some of Kate's most memorable winter outfit moments—and how to recreate the looks yourself while the temps are still hitting below 40 degrees.

Winter White

Contrary to what fashion lore tells us, wearing different shades of white during the winter months is a great way to freshen up and brighten your look on dreary days. Case in point: Kate looked sharp in this cream sweater dress during an engagement last January. Pair with a coordinating belt and black boots, as she did, and you'll be the coolest chick around this season.

Belt with Irregular Buckle

The Bleecker Boot

Layer Love

Make like Kate and take a sweater vest out for a spin this winter. Wear it alone or top it over a collared shirt as Kate did—either way it's a chic, must-have layer.

Slim-Fit Stretch Cotton Poplin Shirt

Monochromatic Moment

Kate made the case for winter white during a recent visit to Nottingham Trent University. This time she opted for an oatmeal-hued coordinating set from Sezane. While the sweater is unfortunately sold out, the knit skirt is still available.

Naelle Skirt in Natural

Pretty in Pink

Kate knows better than to just save bright and flashy colors for the warmer months. Take a page out of her fashion stylebook and lean into the hot pink trend for a look that is anything but boring.

Wool Blend Tailored Chesterfield Coat

Ria Pullover

Classic Plaid

What's a cold-weather ensemble without a bit of plaid? Kate kept things classic in her signature red wool coat with a matching check scarf and sleek leather gloves—a must for preventing your fingers from feeling like popsicles!

Italian Wool Maxi Double Breasted Tailored Coat

Cashmere Lined Leather Touchscreen Gloves

Brown Is the New Black

When you want to keep things neutral, a brown ensemble is the way to go. It's not only flattering and less harsh than black, but it's also extremely versatile. So you can pair the shade with similar colors, or you can go the Kate route, and wear a persimmon-like hue for an added pop of color.

Florere Knitted Maxi Dress

Tonal Moment

No one does tonal dressing better than the Princess of Wales. Here, she wore trendy navy wide-leg trousers and upped the chic factor with a cozy azure-blue sweater. Perfect for day and night, if you ask us.

Natalia Pant in Four-Season Stretch

Fierce Animal Prints

Wearing a dress during winter is a yes—especially if it's got a cool leopard print on it, as the one Kate wore a few years back.

Anina Dress

Chic Après Ski Style

The festive season may have come and gone, but who says you can't wear a Fair Isle sweater during the rest of the season? In fact, it makes for a fabulous après ski outfit option.

Merino Fair Isle Sweater

Utility Jacket

Utilitarian styles are having a moment, but we have a feeling if you asked Kate, she'd say it never left the fashion cycle in the first place. (She and the rest of the royals have long been fans of Barbour and other waxed jacket brands.) An olive green jacket paired with on-trend riding boots is great for town and country.

Winter Defence Wax Jacket

Long Tassel Boot - Conker

Elegant Cape Coat

There are certain styles that are synonymous with royals, and a cape coat is one of them. It's perfect for those in-between days when it's not too frigid out there but still a bit chilly.

The Giulia Cape - Blue

Timeless Tartan

Equally as timeless as plaid: black watch tartan. Opt for a coat style like Kate's to jazz up your winter outerwear game.

Patricia Plaid Double Breasted Coat

Play With Patterns

When you're tired of plaid, change things up and go for a houndstooth moment. The Princess looked elegant as can be in this printed Emilia Wickstead number during a recent visit to Harvard University.

Houndstooth Check Jacquard Midi Dress

Winter Florals

Just because the weather is colder, the skies are a bit gloomier, and the days are shorter doesn't mean you can't wear florals in winter, as proven by the Princess of Wales here.

Floral Crêpe Minidress

It's All in the Accessories

When dressing for winter, you want to choose pieces that won't sacrifice warmth for style. Kate clearly knows that. A fur hat paired with fur-trimmed gloves is a no-brainer when you want to look put-together but still feel warm and toasty out there.

Eleni Faux Fur Headband

Wool Blend Belted Blanket Coat

Jessabel Faux Leather Fur Trim Gloves

Stylish Snow Outfits

When the temps hit below zero and there's snowfall everywhere, that means it's time to bring out the big guns—and by that, we mean a cute beanie to protect your head, a warm wool coat to cocoon your body, and weatherproof boots to keep your tootsies dry.

Desmond Cable Knit Pom Hat

Wool Blend Wrap Coat

Women's Tivoli IV Boot

Ski Outfit

The best to take on the slopes this season? A crisp white puffer and statement red ski pants ala Kate.

Lawrence Jacket
