Every Time Kate Middleton Has Repeated An Outfit

Because if the Duchess of Cambridge likes something enough to wear it twice, it must be really, really nice.

You know when you wear something that you think you look really nice in, and you can’t wait to wear it again? Imagine that feeling, except that you’re the Duchess of Cambridge and every time you step foot outside, the world chronicles exactly what you wear, how much you spent on it, and what you look like in it.

Yes, sorry about that, Kate.

But all this means that when Kate does repeat an outfit, she must really love it.

Here are (almost) all the outfits the Duchess of Cambridge has recycled over the years. (BTW: That McQueen military ensemble? How much restraint must she have not to wear it every day?)
