How so? The relaxed tailoring on the olive green blazer that HRH Catherine, the Princess of Wales, wore is a very modern approach to suiting, while her wide-leg pants, with their high waist and patch pockets, are decidedly retro. We’re seeing lots of ’70s influence—especially that kind of airy, boho feel—in fashion right now. And this oversized cut and loose silhouette suits Princess Kate particularly well; the high-waist fit visually lengthens her legs, while the angular cut of the blazer is confident and structured.
Because she is the Princess of Wales, Kate Middleton still keeps things classic with notch lapels and a single-breasted blazer. However, the earthy shade of green is all vintage vibes—and right on trend. The look is completed by the romantic ruffled blouse (simple, but with interesting detailing) and nude pumps—minimalist and elegant at the same time.
The best thing about her look? It can be interpreted in so many different ways. If you prefer something more relaxed, go for a linen version. The lighter fabric is perfect for summer and goes well with a tank top and sandals. Another outfit idea: Swap the trousers for jeans or shorts for a casual outing. The suit trousers also would work wonderfully with an airy boho-style blouse (very trendy for summer) or a T-shirt.
