From sleek trousers to burgundy double-breasted coats, Kate Middleton’s resurgence into the public eye has been as fashionable as ever. But her latest outfit while visiting Corgi, a textile manufacturer in South Wales, had our heads turning for a few different reasons.
The Princess of Wales wore a recycled Zara midi dress, a style she’s worn two other times in 2020 and 2021, that had seasonal houndstooth fabric in a blend of gray and black. The dress had flattering pleats, a belted waistband, and an eye-catching detail we’ll be copying this winter: a tie neck. She styled the look with classic black pumps and a long ivory coat.
Tie-neck silhouettes are so stylish and practical for this time of year — not only does the extra fabric help keep your neck toasty, but it also adds a touch of elegance that instantly dresses up your outfit. Jennifer Lopez is a fan of the trend, too.
For those looking for an effortless way to look fashionable this season, we’ve rounded up tie-neck dresses and blouses from Amazon, Nordstrom, and more from $33.

Reformation The Sunna Dress
If you want to recreate Middleton’s look, consider this similar style at Reformation. The plaid dress comes with long sleeves and an adjustable bow tie mock neck to keep your upper body warm — plus, you can wear it with tights and tall boots to make it even more winter-ready. The dress has an inner lining to protect lines from showing through. In addition to plaid, you can also snag it in other fun prints like floral and polka dot, as well as a solid green.
Talbots Tie Neck Shift Dress
Middleton is also a fan of polka dots, and you can combine the two trends with this polka dot dress that also has a tie neck. The dress has gorgeous puff sleeves, which Kelly Clarkson recently wore, along with cuffs that help trap heat. The long silhouette skims the shins, providing optimal coverage for this time of year. And you can get it for $40 less right now.
Grace Karin Pleated Midi Dress
For those looking for something more timeless than a printed dress, try a classic little black style from Amazon. This midi dress has flowy pleats similar to Middleton’s recent number. The bow neck tie is adjustable for a custom fit. “This dress was incredibly flattering and comfortable,” one five-star Amazon reviewer wrote, adding that they received “tons of compliments.” It comes in an easy pull-on style that makes getting ready a breeze, and it’s machine-washable, too.
