Princess Catherine knows how to pull together a look and her latest outfit is proof.
Over the weekend, the royal paid a visit to Sudbury Silk Mills in a sharp grey checked suit that oozed sophistication.
The tailored two-piece, a Bella Freud number, looked chic and put-together and proved the princess has got effortless power dressing down to a tee.
But, if you’re wanting to shop the suit for yourself you will have to fork out a whopping £1,370.
Luckily, the shopping experts at Metro have found a brilliant high street alternative for just £86, saving you a massive £1,284.
Next Grey/Blue Check Single Breasted Sculpting Blazer
Featuring a grey/blue checked pattern and fitted cut, the Next Grey/Blue Check Single Breasted Sculpting Blazer is stylish and chic. Also available is the matching Sculpting Slim Leg Trousers (£32) for a full-on power dressing moment. Both pieces are machine washable and available in a range of sizes with Petite sizing available too.
Next’s Grey/Blue Check Single Breasted Sculpting Blazer and matching Sculpting Slim Leg Trousers (£32) feature a similarly smart check pattern and flattering, tailored fit that echoes Catherine’s designer look without the designer price tag.
Appropriate for the office but versatile enough for dinner or drinks, this suit looks a lot more expensive than it is but is brilliantly practical and suitable for chucking in the washing machine when it gets dirty.
Style it with a black crew neck top like Kate, and finish with minimal jewellery, a black leather belt and a sleek blow-dry to really channel the Princess’s style.
Not quite confident enough to go all-in on the suit? They work just as well as separates. Try the blazer with black wide-leg trousers or jeans and the trousers with a crisp white shirt.
Because, as this look proves, you don’t need a royal budget to dress like a princess.
