If this season's red craze isn't your thing, perhaps Kate Middleton's preferred shade on the color wheel is. The Princess of Wales spent her Sunday attending Easter service at St. George's Chapel at Windsor Castle, where she re-wore (a sartorial tradition of Middleton's) a royal blue coatdress custom-made by Catherine Walker. Middleton paired the coat with a blue Lock and Co. pillbox hat and a blue Emmy London clutch. In fact, the only item Middleton wore that wasn't blue was a pair of neutral suede pumps from her go-to shoe brand, Gianvito Rossi.
But Middleton isn't the only person eyeing royal blue for spring and summer. After a few hours of scrolling through H&M, Nordstrom, and Zara this morning, it became crystal clear the shade is having a moment. A bevy of options in the hue are being sold at all three retailers right now. Below, check out my favorites from their current offerings.
On Middleton: Catherine Walker coat; Lock and Co. hat; Gianvito Rossi 105 Suede Pumps ($775); Emmy London Natasha Clutch ($475); Carousel Jewels Stella Earrings With Lapis and Moonstone ($165)
