When Kate Middleton isn't wearing her signature A-line dresses, she's usually in a pair of skinny jeans and boots. Lately, however, she's been relying on a chic, polished staple that's a bit more formal but no less comfortable: wide-leg trousers. The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge paid a visit to The Way Youth Zone in Wolverhampton, UK, to mark Mental Health Awareness Week. 

For the excursion, Middleton needed something sophisticated enough for meetings but laid-back enough for a play date with kids. Her Tory Burch Scallop-Edged Silk Shirt ($398) and Jigsaw pants were the perfect solutions. Scroll down to see how the duchess styled wide-leg trousers and to shop similar pieces.

Associate Director, Fashion News

Erin got her start as a Who What Wear intern over 13 years ago—back when the site only published a single story per day. (Who What Wear has since increased that number twentyfold.) She graduated magna cum laude from USC, which is how she ended up moving to Los Angeles from her hometown of San Diego. In college, she also interned at Refinery29, where she was promoted to editorial assistant and then assistant editor. After nearly three years at R29, she came back to WWW in 2016, where she currently holds the title of Associate Director of Fashion News (as well as the unofficial title of resident royal expert—in case you haven't noticed her numerous Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton stories). She spends her days trying to incorporate her idols, Anna Wintour and Roger Federer, into as many stories as possible. Outside of work, she loves tennis, classic rock, traveling, and smothering her dog with affection.
