This Is Kate Middleton's Go-To Style For Casual Royal Events

Kate Middleton is a world style icon, and many of her clothing choices lead to the "Kate effect" both in Great Britain and throughout the world (via Hello Magazine). Outfits she and her children wear often sell out, and some people even seek to emulate her hairstyles. The Duchess of Cambridge often appears at various functions in her capacity as a senior member of the British Royal Family. Her lavish gowns for formal events are well known, but she's also cultivated a simple style for the more casual events she attends. 

Middleton had the opportunity to showcase her trendier, more casual side in October 2020 when she stepped into the role of president of the UK Scout Association (via Cafe Mom). The duchess spent some time outdoors with the scouts on an occasion that called for something comfortable and suitable for roasting marshmallows around the campfire with the children who attended. 

Kate Middleton created a casual outdoorsy look for herself that is simple and chic, according to Cafe Mom. The duchess wore dark skinny jeans, a light-blue button-down shirt, a dark vest with large pockets, and chunky hiking boots for her outing with the scouts. She had on similar boots when she went to the 2019 Chelsea Flower Show (via Hello magazine). The mother of three often turns to skinny jeans and layers for her outdoor appearances. She wore skinny pants and a striped T-shirt with a dark jacket to play volleyball in an appearance shortly after Prince George's birth. 

Because of the pandemic, Middleton has attended fewer formal, indoor events, which means she's often dressed down for her few appearances. Her staples lately have included jeans or pants, button-down fitted shirts, and sneakers or boots, making her look like many put-together moms worldwide.
