Kate Middleton, aka one of my favorite style icons, has done it again. Earlier this morning, the Princess of Wales honored World Mental Health Day by attending a mental fitness workshop at Bisham Abbey National Sports Centre. Her ensemble was nothing short of chic and exuded casual elegance — and now I’m on a mission to recreate her look for myself.
Middleton wore a blue, A-line blazer from Zara (which is sold out in blue, but still available in other shades) complete with front button closures, lapels, and flap pockets. Her fashion choice stayed true to her winning outfit formula — she never deviated too far from her timeless jackets. Her passion for blazers even inspired me to start wearing the style myself — every time I call on Middleton’s go-to blazers, I receive tons of compliments, reminding me why the look is so good. You can achieve a similar vibe with this best-selling blazer from J.Crew, which offers clean lines, a popped collar, and that same blue raspberry color Middleton wore.

Everlane Supima Micro-Rib Scoop-Neck Tee
Middleton’s blazer is also simple to style, which she proved by reaching for a basic white tee from Lauren Ralph Lauren. The top’s scoop neck added a sleek touch, mimicking this ribbed shirt from Everlane. She ditched her staple slacks and slipped on a pair of laid-back skinny jeans, reviving the trend that Gen Z wrote off. Whether she leaves the blazer on or takes it off, she has a staple look that works for an array of occasions.

Veja V-12 Sneaker
But I just have to call out her celebrity-worn Veja sneakers. Everyone including Meghan Markle, Emily Ratajkowski, Emma Watson, and more have worn the sought-after kicks, and Middleton herself repeat-wears the brand. She opted for a white and tan color that seamlessly pairs with a variety of outfits, though more lively and vibrant colors are also available. Better yet, the eco-friendly shoes are fairly affordable, especially when you compare them to her usual Gianvito Rossi pumps. For $150, you can make like the stars — and the royals — by opting for a pair of comfortable, do-it-all kicks.
