Kate Middleton looked so outdoorsy chic in a gorgeous Burberry jacket, flared jeans and a pair of earrings costing under £100 as she stepped out in Scotland on Thursday.

Kate's style renaissance as of late has been giving us major autumn outfit inspiration, to say the least. Earlier this week, the Princess of Wales was out and about on a "dad walk" in Arnos Grove in London wearing a Barbour jacket (one of the best winter coats in her collection) with a chic striped sweater, with chunky boots and flared bootcut jeans, totally embracing November cosiness.

And upon arriving in Scotland on Thursday , she upped the ante on her autumnal style spectrum, opting for a quilted jacket by Burberry (a cosier alternative to the cult Burberry trench), a pair of flared jeans, her sturdy Reiss boots and the Teardrop Garnet Charm Hoop Earrings in Gold by Spells of Love, which are priced at a surprisingly affordable £95.

Investment piece

RRP: £1,250 | If you want to invest in a quilted Burberry jacket like Princess Catherine's, this timeless autumnal piece with classic Burberry checks and a corduroy collar is a gorgeous option.

Kate's boots

Reiss Thea Leather Chelsea Boots

RRP: £198 | Stand tall this season in these classic leather boots from Reiss this autumn and winter. Loved by Kate herself, who has her very own pair in brown.

Affordable jeans

M&S Eva Bootcut Jeans

RRP: £25 |These M&S Eva jeans have an elegant bootcut shape with a flattering high waist and come in an ankle grazer length. The stretchy fabric and soft denim make these lovely to wear, whatever you pair them with.

Underneath the Burberry jacket, she opted for a navy blue rollneck - another staple piece that Kate is often seen wearing in cold weather months, even in years prior. To match, she chose a pair of dark subtly flared jeans, akin to the ones she wore yesterday while in London, which of course matched perfectly with her cozy autumn vibe.

Additionally, Catherine wore a pair of practical yet chic Chelsea boots from Reiss with her outfit today that boasted a universally fashionable dark brown leather - the same boots she wore for her outing in London earlier this week. The re-wearing of these boots also just further proves that Kate is committed to sustainable fashion as of late, rewearing clothes instead of buying all new pieces, but rewearing them in a way that makes them look fresh. What can't she do?

The Prince and Princess of Wales visited Scotland to show their support for rural communities and those working who help provide mental health support to young people, furthering William and Kate's efforts to spread mental health awareness among the youth, specifically through access to the outdoors and practical learning.
