Kate and Pippa Middleton: Style Twins
Day-Friendly Dress-Up: Cobalt
Kate and
Pippa proved that color can work for semi-formal occasions. Both
Middleton girls anchored their cobalt dresses with sharp black accents
and classic pumps.
Denim Style: Met Jeans
Catherine, Duchess
of Cambridge and Pippa Middleton were both spotted in light wash denim
skinnies by Italian brand Met recently. Shop similar Met styles at
metonweb.com and

Denim Style: Bright Bottoms
The Middleton
sisters love colored denim! Pippa paired her skinny pink SuperDry
bottoms with a black Zara blazer and a plaid Maje shirt, while Kate
visited Great Britain’s hockey team in skinny red J. Brand jeans teamed
with a double-breasted Emilio Pucci blazer, an official team Great
Britain scarf, and black L.K. Bennett pumps.
Daytime Option: Gray and Black Dresses
Catherine,
Duchess of Cambridge and Pippa Middleton both went for gray dresses
with black embroidery along the neckline this year. Kate chose her Orla
Kiely version for a visit to the Dulwich Picture Gallery in London,
while Pippa wore a similar style to work.
Summer Style: Neutral Printed Jersey
The
girls hit the street in summer-ready printed dresses, both in a small
neutral print, and structured leather satchels to match. Buy Pippa's
French Connection style

Evening Go-To: Plunging Neckline in Floor-Length Silk
They went for near-identical formal looks in 2011, both in vibrant, floor-length silk, plunging necklines and floaty waistlines.
Getting-Around-Town Option: White Denim
Straight-leg
white jeans are the denim of choice for the Middletons. Pippa dressed
hers up with a cobalt blazer, while Kate went for a dressed-down
all-neutral look. Both choice white leather flats for a long, lean,
column effect.
Formal Accessory: Color-Pop Fascinator
Sure, the English are known for their headwear, but with so many to choose from (think:
Princess Beatrice), the girls' bright, floral, tulle-adorned fascinators speak to their similar tastes.
After-Dark Impressions: Abstract Print
Kate and Pippa not only chose a graphic black and white palette—they selected the
same abstract pattern in an A-line cut for their evening looks.
