Take note from Kate Middleton with a cozy winter coat in a bold block color. This Hobbs coat is currently available in sizes from UK 10 to UK 18 and comes in two gorgeous shades.

Made of brushed wool it's available in two shades, Fuchsia Pink and Deep Ochre and fits true to size. 

If Kate's coat is still a little on the pricey side, we've also found this lookalike coat at Boden, it's tad shorter but comes in a fun standout shade and is also made of wool.  Available in all sizes from UK 6 to UK 22, it's also discounted for Black Friday, down from £180 to £108.

Crafted from an Italian textured-wool blend, Boden's coat has a relaxed fit that ensures all-day comfort. Pockets hidden in the side seams are super-handy, while mock-horn buttons give a heritage-style finish.

Kate paired her Hobbs coat with a roll-neck in matching crimson, simple gold hoops (a move away from her beloved affordable Missoma earrings), black cigarette pants and black court shoes for a smart, yet stylish look.

Kate was visiting Nower Hill High School in London to join a science lesson where pupils were studying neuroscience and the importance of early childhood development.

Oxford University’s department of psychology provided research for the lessons which explore how the first five years of a child’s life can influence them in adulthood.

Kate thanked the pupils of Nower Hill High School for sharing their experiences with her in a serious of Instagram photos and caption saying, "The first five years of our lives have an extraordinary impact on the adults we become. They provide the foundations for how we respond to our biggest challenges in later life, our long-term health, wellbeing and resilience."

"Everyone involved in a child’s early life has a pivotal role to play and @OxChildPsych’s research educating teenagers in science lessons about how early experiences shape brain development is just one example of how we can be better informed about this." "Huge thanks to the pupils of Nower Hill HS for sharing your experiences!"
