As the arrival of fall looms just a few days away, it's the perfect time to dig out your transitional outerwear essentials. Think denim jackets, trench coats, leather bombers, and, of course, the ever-popular blazer.
Seemingly in sync with the season, devoted blazer enthusiast Kate Middleton stepped out in a stylish ensemble that set the tone for navigating the unpredictable weather between summer and autumn. The Princess of Wales commenced her week on a fashionable high note during a visit to the Royal Naval Air Station (RNAS) Yeovilton in Somerset, where she made her debut as the Commodore-in-Chief of the Fleet Air Arm. Kate effortlessly rocked a classic black double-breasted blazer adorned with elegant gold buttons. She flawlessly paired the military-inspired jacket with impeccably tailored trousers, accentuated by a black leather belt cinched at the waist. Completing the ensemble was a crisp white top layered underneath.
To complement her outfit, Kate accessorized with white topaz drop earrings, sleek black Gianvito Rossi pointed-toe pumps, and a gold aviation pin adorning the lapel of her blazer. Her luscious brunette locks cascaded down in loose waves, parted in the center, with her forehead-framing fringe gracefully swept to the sides. The royal's makeup featured a timeless combination of a smoky eye and a soft pink lip.
During her engagement at the airbase, Kate embarked on a tour of the Air Traffic Control tower, explored a Merlin MK4 helicopter, and participated in various safety training exercises in a hangar. One such exercise involved inflating an emergency life jacket, showcasing her hands-on approach and dedication to the role.
