Kate Middleton Loves This Under-$100 Trans-Seasonal Pants

It’s not every day you see a royal wearing a super dressed-down outfit. More often than not, prestigious public figures like Kate Middleton and Queen Letizia opt for elegant dresses, tailored suiting, cashmere and wool-blend coats, pleated skirts, and other occasion-appropriate attire. For this reason, a recent photo shared on the official Duke and Duchess of Cambridge's Instagram account might’ve took many fans by surprise. Over the weekend, the royal couple shared a COVID-19 vaccination moment that featured Middleton wearing blue jeans from & Other Stories with an equally as casual white top. It’s worth noting that the Duchess’ entire outfit was composed of foolproof basics from affordable fashion brands — barring her exquisite sapphire engagement ring, of course.

In the photo, Middleton wore a ribbed cream-colored top from H&M and a pair of classic slim-leg jeans from & Other Stories. This was one of the rare occasions that the Duchess of Cambridge let her followers see her off-duty style, as the majority of her public appearances usually encompass a floral dress from the likes of Erdem or a polished blouse. “Yesterday I received my first dose of the COVID-19 vaccine at London’s Science Museum,” read the Instagram caption. “I’m hugely grateful to everyone who is playing a part in the rollout — thank you for everything you are doing.” Her husband, Prince William, also received his first dose of the COVID-19 vaccine earlier in May.

With her vaccination outfit, the royal not only showcased her laid-back personality, but she also proved that she’s a master of rewearing fashion staples. The H&M white top was first spotted on Middleton back in September 2016 when she visited Cornwall in England. She then proceeded to wear the same item, with a blazer again, just a few weeks later while on a royal tour of Canada. From what fans have seen so far, it looks like Middleton has a soft spot for this versatile, wear-everywhere piece.
