From Hilary Duff to Kate Middleton: this classic print is back

The Prince of Wales print is back


JANUARY 18, 2021 12:22 PM EST

As could be seen in many of the autumn-winter 2020/21 collections on the catwalk, prints are once again a key piece in the territory of trends. In fact, this year more than ever new designs emerge that already overshadow other more classic ones.

The  Prince of Wales  plaid print is saved, whose timeless quality keeps it at the top of this category.  Meghan Markle  and the Salma Hayek both wear the classic Prince of Wales check print during official engagements. The distinctive print - grey fabric adorned with bold black and white checks - was a huge trend back in 2017 and 2018 and it looks like its back in 2021.

Hilary Duff revolutionizes social networks with leggings. But yes, Hilary showed off her maternity body with the ’prince of wales’ print leggings. This is the look that the American actress wears in the photo: leggings with a checkered print, high-rise, elastic waist and skinny hem. Like Hilary Duff, pair it with tops in neutral tones or, if you dare, also light blue and red are good candidates.

While this print is a beautiful established among many royals worldwide, it is fair to say that Kate Middleton is its biggest fan and, therefore, one of its most loyal ambassadors. The Duchess of Cambridge completes her look with a dress that mixes the ‘prince of wales’ with the houndstooth, bow at the neck and baby doll cut.

The New York socialite Olivia Palermo is known for her close relationship with luxury designers. In fact, every time she wears something, she exhausts it. Such was the case with the geometric print midi dress, the black leather one or with this ruffled jumpsuit. All with the classic print look.

It looks like the Prince of Wales print if most popular, of course, amoung British Royalty. Meghan Markle wears a wales print top with black denim skinny jeans for the elegant but spoty look she was going for.
