If you're a fan of royal fashion, you've probably noticed Kate Middleton's extensive coat collection. From her favourite navy Hobbs maxi coat to her beloved green Alexander McQueen number, The Princess of Wales has been spotted wearing plenty statement outerwear staples over the years, both on and off duty. One of Middleton's most-worn items is, of course, her classic Max & Co Longrun wool camel coat which - while brilliant - is priced over £500, which is a little over what most would be prepared to spend on a coat. To our delight, M&S has saved the day by releasing a surprisingly similar version of the wool coat - but for just £69.
M&S' Single Breasted Longline Coat, £69 is a dead ringer for Max & Co's camel coat, featuring the exact camel hue and similar length, two convenient flap pockets and two stylish buttons at the front. Designed in a comfortable fit, the M&S coat pairs well with plenty of cold weather wardrobe staples such as wool knitwear (we love this cosy jumper from Arket) and tailored trousers. Alternatively, take notes from the Princess of Wales and style your camel coat with your favourite maxi dress and the perfect clutch.
The outerwear staple previously sold out in all sizes, but is now finally back in stock. Having received glowing reviews, the camel coat is sure to sell out again - and fast. Shop the M&S tailored coat below for a Kate Middleton inspired look for less.
