"If you love the idea of wearing trendy pieces but your style is more Charlotte than Carrie, we&amp;#x27;ve got three great ways to test the waters of fashion now-ness without straying too far from your comfort zone, all courtesy of Kate Middleton. PLEATS: Box pleats are huge news right now (look no further than the Prada spring 2012 runway for inspiration), and Kate wears &amp;#x27;em like a total pro. Her Orla Kiely dress works on her because it&amp;#x27;s a simple silhouette, a neutral color, and accessorized with traditional pieces, like those reliable black pumps. BRIGHT DENIM: Colored jeans are everywhere right now (remember when Jessica Alba wore three different pairs in one week?!). They do run the risk of making you look like a total trendoid, so if you&amp;#x27;re into a classic look, pair yours with a navy blazer and a silk scarf, like the duchess did. THE PEPLUM: We&amp;#x27;re obsessed with this trend for a few reasons (Jason Wu and Vera Wang being two of them). If you want to test this look out without veering into Nicki MInaj territory, take a cue from Kate and go for a slim-fitting suit (hers is by LK Bennett) with a belt to define your shape. What do you gals think of Kate&amp;#x27;s take on these of-the-moment trends? Isn&amp;#x27;t it cool how she manages to walk that fine line between fashionista and modern royal? Do you emulate her style? Discuss!
