Kate Middleton’s Sunglasses

If Kate's attending a public engagement that's a little more relaxed and the sun is shining, expect to see her don a pair of sunglasses.  She also regularly wears sunglasses to Wimbledon in the summer.

What type of sunglasses does Kate Middleton wear?

Kate tends to play it safe with her sunglasses. You'll never see her in anything too flamboyant, nor does she try any fashion-forward trends. (I doubt you'll see her in coloured frames, or join the likes of Rhianna or the Kardashians in wearing those tiny sunglasses that are popular at the moment.)

Instead, Kate tends to gravitate towards classic, unfussy styles that can be worn across all seasons, to a myriad of different events. Her preferred frame colours are tortoise and black.

Which brands of sunglasses does Kate wear?

Kate is loyal to Ray-Ban, we've spotted her in four different designs by the company over the last decade. She's worn the Folding Wayfarers in Tortoise to 15 different public engagements, the Chris in Tortoise to eight public engagements, the Wayfarer II in Spotted Havana to four public engagements and the New Wayfarer in Black to two public engagements.

Kate's second most-worn brand is Givenchy. We've spotted her in three different pairs by the French company: the SGV773 Obsidian style in Black/Grey, the SGV767 in tortoise and the SGV761 0700 in black.

What are the latest pairs of sunglasses in Kate's collection?

Kate Middleton has worn two new pairs of sunglasses in 2022 so far: the Ray-Ban New Wayfarer in Black and the Finlay & Co. Henrietta in Light Tortoise.  She debuted both during the Caribbean Tour.
