The Duchess of Cambridge Always Turns to Zara for This Item

The Duchess of Cambridge might wear the likes of Chanel, Erdem and Alexander McQueen, but she also finds value in wearing pieces that the average Brit can afford, too. Today, at a sailing event, the 1851 Trust's roadshow at London's Docklands, she turned to Zara once again, wearing a white blazer. Before you rush online, this is an item that's been in Kate's closet for a while, as she last wore it in Canada in 2016 with a pair of skinny jeans. Kate is a fan of Zara's tailoring, as she also owns a navy double-breasted jacket with gold buttons.

Today, she swapped the skinny jeans for a pair of cropped swinging flared navy trousers from J.Crew with gold buttons at the hip and pockets, and she paired it with a simple white T-shirt. The Duchess of Cambridge loves J.Crew just as much as she loves Zara, as she also wore a pair of tweed block-heeled pumps with tassels at the toes from the American high-street brand. Scroll below to see how she wore her Zara blazer, and shop a similar outfit below.
