As previously discussed, we are doing a series of polls in an effort to ascertain some favorite items among those Kate has worn (or carried) in the last year. We begin with outerwear, coats we have seen the Duchess wear in the preceding twelve months.

Here are a few quick reminders: the Katherine Hooker coat worn for the lifeboat christening in Anglesey.

A few notes on how these were selected as the ‘finalists’:

• We solicited input via the WKW Facebook page, comments on a previous post here, and I also received suggestions by email
• The coats that were not included received few, if any mentions. These are the blue Jane Troughton, the red Catherine Walker in Canada, silver Katherine Hooker for Order of the Garter, the DAY Birger et Mikkelsen, and yesterday’s Bespoke Aubergine for church at Sandringham
• Feel free to write in any of these (or others I may have overlooked) in the ‘other’ category

We’ll keep each of these open for several days, we hope to do jewelry and formal dresses tomorrow.
