How Kate Middleton Wears Black Skinny Jeans and Ankle Boots This Time of Year

March and April are tricky months to navigate wardrobe-wise. One day it still feels like winter, and the next it feels like spring arrived overnight. While these weather surprises will certainly keep you on your toes, they don't make outfit planning very easy. If anyone can navigate this most awkward of seasons, it's Kate Middleton. Proof: Middleton stepped out in London today to visit the Scouts' headquarters wearing a fittingly casual black-skinny-jean outfit. With the jeans, she wore her favorite pair of See by Chloé combat boots with a J.Crew sweater, cargo jacket, simple silver hoops, and a striped scarf inspired by her stint as a Brownie (which we think is cute even if you weren't a Girl Scout).

So how can you apply Middleton's look to your own wardrobe? Since it's a bit early to bust out your warm-weather pieces but you're probably over puffer jackets, try layering a sweater and light jacket with your skinny jeans and combat boots until short-and-sandal season arrives. Keep scrolling to see and shop Middleton's perfect look for this time of year.
