Kate Middleton has officially claimed sweater weather. Yes, I know it isn’t groundbreaking to throw on a sweater when the weather drops below 60 degrees, but Kate Middleton’s fall outfit is more than a simple knit. It’s chic yet cozy, trendy yet timeless, laidback yet professional—it’s a Sézane knit set and you’ll probably want to add one to your own closet.
The Princess of Wales spent October 11, World Mental Health Day, in Birmingham hosting student sessions around the topic of mental health and reminiscing about her days attending St Andrew’s University (where she met Prince William). She clearly got the outfit memo for dressing for a University campus and picked a look that was just the right amount of casual and elevated.
Kate Middleton wore a cream ribbed knit sweater set. The set is from the French brand Sézane which is famous for creating high-quality knitwear. Kate Middleton’s sweater set is one of the classic pieces on the brand’s site—it comes in seven different color options but the one she picked is perfect for transitional fall weather.
For her appearance, Kate Middleton wore her hair with a center part and long loose curls. She kept her makeup look very natural with soft pink lipstick and accessorized with a pair of faux pearl earring studs by Irish designer Simone Rocha.
She opted for suede pumps by Gianvito Rossi that matched her sweater set perfectly and carried a tan handbag for a monochromatic look. When she left the event, she was carrying a bouquet of flowers which added an unexpected pop of color to her ensemble.
The skirt Kate Middleton wore is made out of thick ribbed Merino wool and hits right at the mid-calf. It’s the ideal piece to wear with tall boots, loafers, or heels and can easily be paired with tights when the weather cools down.
The neutral shade Kate Middleton sported is currently out of stock in most sizes but you can still get the skirt in multiple colors on Sézane’s site. This piece is also very easy to mix and match with other items in your wardrobe if you aren’t interested in always wearing it as a set.
The button detailing on the arms of this Merino wool sweater adds dimension to an otherwise relatively basic wardrobe item. Like the skirt, this sweater is sold out in neutral shades but is still available in gorgeous shades of green, a preppy navy stripe, and black. You’ll be able to wear this sweater with jeans, slacks, skirts, and even a pair of workout leggings for a fashionable athleisure look.
