I Found Kate Middleton's Exact Autumn-Ready Suit – And It's On Sale
It's no secret that we've been quietly (or perhaps, not-so-quietly) obsessed with Kate Middleton's style. Whether the Princess of Wales steps out in an elegant striped shirt or rewears a designer frock, we're always on high alert for her next sartorial moment. Recently, she debuted another great outfit as she launched a big project with the Royal Foundation Centre for Early Childhood, looking elegant as ever in a sharply tailored green suit from Veronica Beard. Predictably, the trousers sold out almost immediately. But the blazer? It's miraculously still in stock (for now).

Veronica Beard, Kona Dickey Blazer in Green
Price: £376 (was £626)
Slightly cropped for a modern touch, the blazer's notch lapels and precise tailoring lend it an elegant finish. Dress it up for work with wide-leg trousers as Middleton, or wear with jeans and loafers for a smart casual look.
A slight departure from her strictly formal suits, the Veronica Beard blazer is cut for a boxy, slightly cropped fit, while the breezy, wide-leg trousers are perfectly relaxed yet elegant. Middleton styled the green suit with a silk-blend tank top from Joseph, Cartier's Trinity earrings, and her signature glossy waves.
Naturally, Middleton's exact suit sold out at record speed, but if you're after a similarly tailored look to round out your transitional wardrobe, there's plenty of remarkably similar (and considerably more affordable) alternatives on offer. Whether you layer the cropped green blazer over your summer dresses for September, wear tailored green trousers with a white button-down, or pair the pieces together for a sharp look, the styling potential is truly endless.
Finery London, Collared Blazer
If you're going for that classic, structured silhouette Kate wore, this Finery blazer is an excellent alternative. It's cut for a clean and tailored fit that's effortlessly chic, while the buttons add a bold finish, making it smart enough for the office but still easy to throw on over denim.
Max Mara, Laccato Wide-Leg Cady Trousers
Price: £440
These darted green trousers make for a great pop of colour amongst your usual workwear neutrals. Style these with everything from blazers and shirts to boxy T-shirts and tank tops.
Mango, Linen-Blend Suit Jacket
A more summer-ready take on Middleton's style, this Mango blazer is crafted from a linen-blend to keep you cool and comfortable in the heat. Thanks to its satiny sheen, the blazer is ideal for dressier occasions such as summer weddings and garden parties, proving that you can have royal style without the royal budget.
Saint + Sofia, Cambridge Blazer
If you're after a more casual iteration, add this single-breasted blazer to cart. With a softer and more relaxed silhouette, it'll look great thrown over a sleek white T-shirt and jeans, but can easily be dressed up with matching trousers.
Phase Eight, Aubrielle Trouser
Cut for a straight fit rather than a roomy wide-leg, Phase Eight's Aubrielle trousers are slightly more formal and will be a hardworking staple in your office wardrobe.

Frankie Bridge hails her red satin midi the ‘best holiday dress' from her tropical getaway
Frankie Bridge wowed in a red satin midi dress during her family holiday in the Maldives, and we know exactly where to shop her complete outfit ready for your next getaway Whilst there might be a murmur of autumn outfits in the air, there's still technically plenty of summer left to enjoy before we pull out our knitwear, especially if you've got a holiday on the horizon. If you're looking for some holiday outfit inspo, or just want a versatile dress that you can wear all year round, take a leaf out of Frankie Bridge's style book. The presenter shared a glimpse at her elegant evening outfit whilst enjoying a tropical trip to the Maldives with her family, as she called Massimo Dutti's Long Satin Dress 'The best holiday dress.' You can still pick up Frankie's exact dress directly from the brand's website for £99.95, with all sizes from 8 to 14 still in stock. Whilst Frankie's dress is available in limited sizes, we did find a great alternative at Omnes with the Nova Dress in Barbados Cherry available in sizes four to 24. It does have a slightly different silhouette to the Massimo Dutti one, with a V-neck rather than a rounded one, and is similarly priced at £95. Alternatively Mango's Cowl Neck Satin Midi Dress in Red is on sale at ASOS, down from £59.99 to £38.99. Directly from Mango's website you can also pick up a similar silhouette in a darker burgundy shade with the Fitted Satin Dress priced at £59.99. However Frankie's exact Long Satin Dress from Massimo Dutti is the perfect pick for something simple and versatile that you can wear anywhere, any time. Frankie paired hers with Ego's Martini Cut Out Flat Slider Sandals (£21) and the £69.95 Wooden Tassel Pendant, which also hails from Massimo Dutti, for the perfect easy holiday outfit. You could just as easily wear it with some heels and a statement back for an elegant evening outfit, or a pair of trainers and a cardigan for a more low-key daytime look. It's also great for events like weddings, christenings and graduation ceremonies thanks to its modest rounded neckline and long midi length. The dress also hangs beautifully, with a slightly lower hemline at the back than the front. It's been designed to not be too clingy or figure-hugging, with a drape that gives it plenty of movement and flow. You can pick up Frankie's Long Satin Dress from Massimo Dutti in all sizes now.

GMB's Kate Garraway has been wearing these 'classy' and 'versatile' trousers on repeat
Kate Garraway has been spotted multiple times in recent weeks wearing the same pair of wide-leg white trousers TV presenter and fashion icon Kate Garraway has been spotted not once, not twice, but three times in the past month wearing the same pair of 'classy' trousers. The GMB host, known for her timeless and classy personal style, has worn a pair of Phase Eight trousers on repeat in recent weeks, proving just how versatile they are. Ahead of appearing on the TV, Kate's stylist Debbie Harper will regularly pap the presenter and share her outfit to Instagram. On three occasions since July 17, Kate has been sporting what looks to be the Elodie Wool Trouser from the brand, with Debbie telling fans they're the 58-year-old's 'favourite'. And Kate's fans seem to love them, too, commenting on the star's posts: 'Lovely outfit, Looking lovely Kate,' 'Kate you look absolutely stunning wow,' and 'Outstanding look for beautiful Kate.' 'I'm trying to cut down my alcohol intake and this 99p low-calorie drink converted me' Harrods beauty advent calendar returns after fragrance one sold out in 48 hours While they've not been confirmed by ITV, Kate or her stylist, we have trawled the Phase Eight website for white and cream trousers, and the Elodie matches Kate's look most closely. They feature a cream wide-leg design, structured front seams, subtle pocket tabs, and a flattering side zip that keeps the front sleek and streamlined. Coming in at £95, Phase Eight say they're the 'perfect addition to your capsule wardrobe'. And we're inclined to agree. Kate is known for her timeless, classic style, often favourite chic tailored pieces that never date. She'll regularly inject pops of colour into her look, which is exactly what she did with these trousers. In one post, Kate styled the trousers with a cream and black polka dot blouse. Polka dots are a wardrobe staple and are always on trend, often worn by Kate Middleton. But for a bit more of a colour pop, she also styled them with a fuchsia short-sleeve blouse, and on another occasion, a yellow striped cardigan. Kate's trousers are at a great mid-price point for those looking to invest in their wardrobe. Looking higher end, there's the Summer Flare Trouser from Me+Em for £225. They're made from a Portuguese viscose tailoring fabric that's infused with stretch to create the perfect balance of fluidity and structure. For something more budget-friendly, though, Next's White Elasticated Back Wide Leg Trousers are £34. Featuring functional concealed side pockets, they have a hidden elasticated back waist for all-day comfort. The Elodie trousers from Phase Eight have earned high praise from customers, though, which may explain exactly why Kate keeps coming back to them. One said: 'Classy side zip trousers, love them.' Another shopper, this time at John Lewis, added: 'Fabulous design, material and colour. Very versatile and can be washed too. They would be great in other colours. Highly recommended.' One said they had 'lovely fabric' but were 'much too wide'. Another review read: 'These trousers were very stylish and the fabric was a good weight for white trousers (not cheap and flimsy) Unfortunately, the sizing was too big so I had to return them.' Whether investing in Kate's Phase Eight pair or choosing a similar style that suits your budget, it's safe to say that a pair of wide-leg cream trousers are a staple well worth adding to our wardrobe.
