At this time of year, even the most optimistic can’t pretend it’s summer anymore—but Kate Middleton is all in on fall dressing whatever the precarious British seasons may say.
Knowing how heavy-duty to go with your outerwear is a daily battle we all face getting dressed in the morning. No one wants to be shivering outside the office, but equally, overheating on the commute isn’t particularly appealing either. It’s a conundrum the Princess of Wales has totally swerved, per her recent look.

Dressed in a Reiss blouse and a Jigsaw coat, the Duchess paid a visit to the West Sussex Minibus volunteer transport organization, meeting elderly passengers and hearing about the organization’s vital work within the local community. For the occasion, she swapped her usual Edeline Lee and Emilia Wickstead for a more relaxed approach. Recently, the Princess has made a strong case for forest green as her shade of the season, but aside from a pair of her favorite Gianvito Rossi pumps and a Smythson bag in burgundy, she opted for a more monochrome palette.
It’s been a busy few weeks for the Princess with a roster of Royal visits, premieres, and a few family moments. Despite the demanding schedule, she remains dressed for the occasion, whether it’s a pair of practical loafers or the all-weather Burberry trench she wore for a trip to Scotland last week. As we settle into fall, and if there’s one thing Kate Middleton’s recent working wardrobe proves, it’s that the right coat goes a long way.
