Today, on a visit to the Vsi Razom Community Hub in Bracknell, Catherine, Princess of Wales wore an outfit that was a noticeable departure from the suits that she's been gravitating towards recently. In a fresh take on autumn layering, Kate Middleton utilised one of our favourite styling hacks, creating a casual yet aptly put-together look in the process.
Catering to the early-autumn air, Middleton opted for a lighter take on autumn layering by styling a white button-down shirt underneath a grey roll-neck sweater vest. Spotted all across London this season, the knitted vest has been our go-to whilst the weather remains balmy.
Middleton also tuned in to a growing trend on the streets of Milan, Paris and New York this Fashion Month. Grey layers have solidified themselves as the neutral of choice this autumn, as the fashion set swapped their beige and camel favourites for cool-toned grey this season.
Wearing her grey sweater vest with complementary grey wool trousers, she finished her tonal look with small, block heels and pearl-embossed gold hoop earrings. The poster-girl for smart-casual style, the Princess naturally ensured that her outfit was perfectly tailored for a neat fit. Middleton softened the look by styling her hair in her signature loose waves.
