Kate Middleton’s Latest Outfit Is a Lesson in Preppy Athleisure

Kate Middleton and her royal wardrobe are always under a microscope. Serious, thought-out preparation goes into every inch of her royal outfits. Between her occasional tiara and plethora of pantsuits, the Princess of Wales dresses to perfection no matter what the occasion calls for. A rugby match? That won't stop her from pulling off a sporty chic moment.

Cast in point? On Thursday, the Princess of Wales participated in an action-filled day with a game of rugby during a Rugby League's Inclusivity Day at Allam Sports Centre in England. For the visit, she parted ways with her coat dresses and pantsuits in favor of a sporty ensemble: a navy blue Rugby polo teamed with a pair of fitted coordinating joggers and plain white sneakers.

The princess tossed her blown-out curls up and out of her face in a side ponytail, and she kept her accessories to a minimum by adding nothing but dainty gold hoop earrings. As for her glam, she stuck to her signature M.O. of a light and simple makeup look with rosy cheeks and a glossy pink lip.

Proving her wardrobe has range, yesterday she was spotted wearing the ultimate autumn staple: a sweater vest. Visiting the Vsi Razom Community Hub in Bracknell, England, she donned the quintessential fall 'fit — a gray mock-neck sweater vest layered over a white collared blouse. Keeping things business casual, a coordinating pair of heather gray wool trousers, glen plaid pumps adorned with black tassels, dainty pearl hoop earrings, and a silver timepiece provided the finishing touches to her groufit.
