Fall has officially started and Kate Middleton kicked off the season by giving us some chic outerwear inspiration!
On Tuesday, the Duchess of Cambridge visited the Lake District in north-west England. She wore a camel-colored cashmere sweater from Boden with black skinny jeans and her beloved See by Chloe lace-up combat boots. For the sporty part of her outing, Kate opted for a dark green zip-up padded jacket from Seeland – she mountain biked and climbed with air cadets at the Windermere Adventure Training Center.
Kate’s quick change is a reminder of how easily a blazer can dress up any ensemble, making it a staple of any wardrobe, especially for fall. It is the unique piece that can instantly put any outfit together. And yes, you can (and should) wear it outside of the office! Take a page from Kate and wear it with a sweater and jeans for a touch of sophistication, or slip it over a dress and ankle boots for a more casual look.
Do you feel inspired? Same. Made from 100% luxury Scottish wool, the Duchess’ exact belted blazer costs $ 560 and is still available in sizes 8-16 at the time of writing. But if you’re looking for something a little more affordable, we’ve rounded up some lookalikes that are just plain cute and worthy of your wardrobe.
Although it has a different pattern, this houndstooth blazer is similar in length and buckle belt. It’s available on Amazon and won’t cost you more than $ 85 depending on the size you choose. We also love this double-breasted option which has a more relaxed fit for just $ 30 and this oversized plaid blazer which is 20% off if you’re a Madewell Insider (just enter your email to become one).
Kate has clearly proven that a good blazer is the next thing your fall wardrobe needs. Scroll down to buy royal-inspired lookalikes for less!
