We are back with the results of the initial Favorite Daywear Dress poll and two quick polls looking at last year’s more formal frocks as well as the coatdresses worn by the Duchess. But first, I thought a look at Kate’s garden party ensembles would be fun.
We begin with the Duchess’s first garden party at Buckingham Palace in 2012. 
As we continue our year end polls it is time to move to accessories, our first poll looks at Kate’s chapeaux.
We start our visual refresher with the elaborate Vivien Sheriff worn to Anglesey in February for the lifeboat christening ceremony.
The British Monarchy/BBUK
The Whiteley worn at the Epsom Derby in June.
The black Philip Treacy seen at Trooping the Colour, also in June.
The silvery-grey Rachel Trevor-Morgan for Order of the Garter, yet another of the many June events.

The Jane Corbett paired with the Jane Troughton brocade coat and Zara dress for church services celebrating Prince Philip’s 90th birthday in mid-June.
Another Rachel Trevor-Morgan, this time for the Irish Guards ceremonies on Armed Forces Day, also in June.
Kate’s iconic red Maple Leaf hat for Canada Day was created by the talented Sylvia Fletcher for Lock & Co.
Canadian Heritage
The Gina Foster seen at the July wedding of Zara Philips and Mike Tindall.
The black Jane Corbett for Remembrance Day in November.
And the berry or aubergine by Jane Corbett seen Christmas Day.
Now it’s time to pick your favorite.

There aren’t quite as many choices for our second poll today, a list of the Duchess’s boots worn this year is much shorter.
The Aquatalia Rouge bootie, worn in ‘espresso’ suede. (Now called the ‘Royal’ and available at Nordstrom.)
Via Aquatalia
Kate wore her taller Aquatalia boots with some frequency, most recently for the visit she and William made to Centrepoint. Below we show her wearing them for a February trip to St. Andrews, now sold as the ‘Flinch’ by Aquatalia, at Nordstrom they are called by the original ‘Rumba’ style name. (They were known in the UK as the ‘Hi & Dry,’ sold at Russell & Bromley).
Via Aquatalia
The R. Soles ‘Vegas Setter’ boots worn in Canada at the Calgary Stampede.

The Le Chameau wellies seen in August for Kate’s walk on the beach with Pippa, and as recently as Christmas Eve’s football game.
