It's not often we see the Princess of Wales in a truly casual ensemble, so when she does dress down, we're paying attention - especially when the outfit involves versatile jeans and comfortable boots.
Cooler temperatures are just around the corner, so we're quickly gathering stylish autumn capsule wardrobe inspiration to see us through. Back in November 2023 on a visit to Moray, Scotland, Kate Middleton sported a practical yet chic seasonal look that we're desperate to channel over the next few months.
Offering warmth, comfort, and serious style points, her look is endlessly versatile - and just as chic almost a year on from when she wore it. And although Princess Catherine often wears premium brands, this is an outfit that can be recreated without spending a fortune.
Opting for the same seasonal colour palette, the Prince and Princess of Wales have sold us on khaki green jackets and brown footwear combinations for chilly weather.
Shop Kate's look
You can find Kate's exact Burberry jacket on eBay for £495, but if you want to spend slightly less on an autumn coat without compromising on quality, there's no going wrong with Barbour. The British clothing brand is another favourite of the Princess of Wales, so you can be sure it comes with her seal of approval.
More interesting than a straight cut but not as statement as a full flare, bootcut jeans are the ideal flattering style for any occasion. This affordable M&S pair has a similar cut to Kate's and can be paired with anything and everything in your capsule wardrobe.
Kate's exact boots are the Thea Chelsea boots from Reiss, but the brand no longer stocks the brown colourway. However, you can still purchase the same silhouette in black, which is just as chic and maybe even more versatile.
This gorgeous Nobody's Child jacket could easily be mistaken for a high-end buy. The ideal shape and length with room for layering without being too boxy, it's an autumnal staple that will never date.
If you prefer a slightly more flared look, these H&M jeans have just the right amount of volume for everyday wear. Perfect for styling with boots, they're brilliantly affordable too.
If you love the brown hue of Kate's boots, this faux leather New Look pair is almost identical. We love the rich brown shade that has a true premium feel, whilst the chunky sole adds some edge.
If there's anyone who knows how to make a comfortable and practical outfit look sophisticated, it's Kate Middleton. She proves that the simple combination of comfortable jeans, a cosy coat and some timeless Chelsea boots is all you need to look your best this season.
Although it can be tempting to follow the 2024 fashion colour trends, earthy neutrals and classic patterns - as seen in the Princess of Wales' checked jacket - will always work for autumn and winter wear when you want an outfit that is unique but timeless.
The best part is that each element of her look can be mixed and matched with the rest of your wardrobe for countless outfit formulas. Wear your Chelsea boots with a woollen skirt and tights for added warmth, or copy Kate's style further by layering your quilted coat with a chunky turtleneck.
