After attending last night’s state banquet in a full-length gold lace dress and Cambridge Lover’s Knot tiara, Kate Middleton—Catherine, the Princess of Wales—opted for a decidedly more low-key—yet polished—outfit for an outing with U.S. First Lady Melania Trump today (September 18).
For the engagement with the Scouts at Frogmore Gardens, Kate went into full country-casual mode, wearing a khaki jacket by Me+Em, brown mid-length skirt from Ralph Lauren, and brown suede boots. Delivering a masterclass in tonal dressing, the royal opted for a matching brown jumper underneath, accessorised with a silk scarf from Sudbury Mill in Suffolk, which she visited just last week.

Like many of us, it’s clear that the Princess is now in full fall mode—with her midi-skirt and boots being a go-to outfit combination this season. Indeed, we saw a number of sensible skirts on the runways in New York last week, including at the likes of Ralph Lauren, Tory Burch, and Anna Sui.
Chocolate brown is also a key color of the season, with brands including Saint Laurent, Victoria Beckham, and The Row all embracing the shade for fall winter 2025. While Kate Middleton has been wearing brown suede boots for a number of years now, her outfit today just so happened to be perfectly on trend.
