How a Princess "Steps-Up"
Kate Middleton loves two styles when it comes to her shoes: pumps and wedges. Her frequent use of her trusty LK Bennett nude pumps has caused mixed reactions from style experts. Some say she has built a signature style, while others say it is a tad boring.
"I look forward to the day when we get to see her in a marvelous stiletto or a trendy peeptoe bootie. At this point, I'll even take a studded flat! Anything to break up the monotony." states USA Today fashion reporter, Arienne Thompson.
Many have wondered what makes the Duchess love the pair so much. Some say it is the simplicity and sophistication it has, while others think that Kate is merely investing on a signature style that will make her seem practical and memorable.
"Audrey is known for her ballet flats; Kate will be ever-connected to her similarly classic pumps. And in both instances, classic does not equal boring. Kate's almond toes are on-trend." says Olivia Barker who compared The Duchess' style choice to Audrey Hepburn's.
