Fall is here and the Duchess of Cambridge has already started to break out out her fabulous coat collection!
As the weather in the U.K. cools down, the 38-year-old made a stylish appearance in a long plaid coat by Massimo Dutti on Tuesday as she traveled to the University of Derby to chat with students about how the pandemic has affected their mental health.
Underneath her statement coat, the mother of three opted for a cozy yet sleek ensemble consisting of a blue-gray sweater, black slacks and black block pumps. The duchess also wore her go-to gold necklace with three charms that are engraved with the first letter of each of her children's names.
Throughout her visit, the mother of three sported a floral face mask by Amaia London.
The former Kate Middleton looked stunning as always and we're already dying to steal her fall-ready look. Feeling equally as envious of her style? We've sourced a few pieces to help you channel the royal fashionista's look without paying a fortune.
