In case you hadn’t noticed, Kate Middleton is deep into her power-suit era. We haven’t seen a flippy coat dress or a pleated skirt in months. These days it’s all about the boss-lady blazer, and this monochromatic forest green number may be her best look yet.
For her visit to some family-owned textile mills in the north of England, the Princess of Wales suited up in a fitted green blazer and fashionable wide-leg trousers, with pointed-toe green pumps to match. In lieu of the simple white tee she often pairs with her suits, this time she wore a white silk blouse and added a medium-chunky gold chain necklace and ladylike hoops to complement the tortoise-shell buttons of the jacket.
The suit’s emerald color is perfect for fall, while the tailoring is both reserved and fashion-forward. In short, we love this look for Princess Kate.
The pantsuit seems to have replaced her former uniform of Alexander McQueen and vintage-inspired coat- and shirtdresses. Just a week prior the princess wore a similar wide-leg style suit in tan on a visit to a youth-focused charity in London. Before that, she was seen visiting the Royal Naval Air Station in an appropriately military-inspired double-breasted navy suit with cigarette trousers and block-heel pumps. Her other September ’fits have included the oversized blazer she wore to visit a children’s “forest school” and a fitted navy blue suit to tour the HMP High Down prison.
