Rich chocolate brown, buttery yellow, and vibrant berry red—these delectable colors make their way into our wardrobes every season. Currently, the edible hue capturing attention is autumnal olive green. This trend was prominently displayed by the Princess of Wales during her recent visit to Home-Start in Oxford. Adorned from head to toe in this seasonal staple, Kate engaged with parents and volunteers at the center, advocating for a new initiative from her Centre for Early Childhood—a series of animated films aimed at nurturing social and emotional skills in families.

This ensemble of matching tailored pieces may seem quite polished, yet it represents one of the more laid-back styles within the princess’s workwear collection: a softer and more approachable interpretation of formal wear she has been embracing lately. Since returning to her royal responsibilities this year, Kate has often chosen a tailored blazer paired with sleek trousers for her public appearances. Recent highlights include the Bella Freud Prince of Wales check suit worn during her trip to Marina Mill in Kent and the striking emerald-green Veronica Beard suit she donned for the launch of the Early Childhood video project back in August.
Today, she opted for Victoria Beckham tailoring once again, having previously worn this outfit at a British Fashion Council event in May. On that occasion, she paired it with a ruffled cream blouse, but during her Oxford visit, she fully embraced color-blocking, complementing the tailored pieces with a simple round-neck tee in the same olive shade.
