While trouser suits have become the Princess of Wales's go-to look for royal outings, Kate Middleton's skinny jeans style just made a comeback for autumn - and we're here for it.

After wowing in a 'Quiet Luxury'-style oatmeal-coloured knitted Sezane co-ord on October 11, Kate Middleton has once again debuted her fashion prowess but this time sporting a slightly more divisive piece.

Whatever your personal stance on skinny jeans, when it comes to Kate Middleton's favourite jeans, the fitted trouser is a true staple in her wardrobe. In fact, the mother-of-three has made her feelings about them very clear over the years and can be frequently spotted rocking a simple pair of blue or black jeans with a knit jumper or blazer.

Stepping out on October 12, 2023, for her visit to Bisham Abbey National Sports Centre in Marlow (to mark World Mental Health Day) Kate paired a chic, royal blue Zara blazer, with some £25 earrings and her favourite Veja trainers. She then completed the look with a pair of slightly cropped, dark blue skinny jeans.

This combination of a tailored jacket and slim trousers is the perfect example of 'business casual' and is a styling equation Kate often opts for. That is when she's not rocking a smart pantsuit, like the pinstripe co-ord she wore in Cardiff at the beginning of the month.

Just a month prior on September 14, Kate debuted another blazer and jean outfit, this time pairing timeless black denim with a tweed jacket, before donning a set of brown lace-up boots - which are another stylish item to add to your capsule wardrobe.

Her affinity for skinny jeans though, is well-established, as is the Princess of Wales' love of classic slingback heels (the likes of which are a staple in Kate's shoe collection). In fact, the trousers were even a wardrobe staple back in Kate's university days, though she favoured low-rise styles back then.

As for recreating Kate's smart-casual look, her favourite jean brands include Mother, Zara and &OtherStories - which is also the retailer behind her straight-leg jeans.
