Sometimes, Princess Kate’s simplest gestures are the ones that end up setting the style. During Melania Trump’s visit to the gardens of Frogmore Cottage, located within the Windsor Estate, they both spent a day with Scout children.
The atmosphere was relaxed, filled with games and small activities, but of course, the focus also shifted to Kate’s style.
The princess chose an ensemble in earth tones that seemed perfect for the occasion. She was wearing a chocolate-colored A-line midi tweed skirt, a military jacket by ME+EM, and a knitted sweater vest from the same brand.
She paired it all with Gianvito Rossi brown suede boots and a Polo Ralph Lauren belt that subtly yet elegantly accentuated her silhouette.
The Spells of Love earrings and a scarf she had received as a gift during a recent visit completed the look.
The interesting thing here is how Kate manages to balance the formality required for an official engagement with the comfort needed to bend down, play with leaves, or hand out badges to the young Scouts.
It wasn’t a flashy outfit, yet it possessed that practical elegance that defines her so well. Beside her, Melania chose a more American style, wearing a Ralph Lauren safari jacket and light Loro Piana pants, a choice that highlighted the contrast in styles between the two.
