Catherine, Princess of Wales has put her wardrobe into full autumn mode. Over the last fortnight, Her Royal Highness has been quick off the mark to tap the season’s most wearable trends. Including, as of today, the suede jacket trend.

The Princess’ latest appearance comes as part of the US state visit, where she was joined by First Lady Melania Trump in the grounds of Frogmore Cottage in the Windsor estate.

For the blustery Berkshire day, 43-year-old Catherine wore a dark green take on the suede jacket that has a hold on all of our wardrobes right now. The style from a previous Me+Em collection has proven to be amongst the most popular options for early winter layering thanks to its versatility and ease (forgoing the showers, of course). Catherine’s choice was not only in the alternative dark green shade, but in a boxy silhouette that added visual intrigue to her overall silhouette.

Her Royal Highness kept things tonal by wearing the green suede jacket with a coordinating silk scarf bowed at the neck, a Me+Em brown suede vest, a belted A-line skirt and brown suede boots. It was a polished, perfectly executed look that speaks to September and the trending palette, silhouette and textures of the season.

Those that observe the Princess’ wardrobe with a keen eye might have noticed a subtle move towards being more trend led and fashion forward (think about her recent rolcall of Chanel bags as evidence) of late. The cause for this might be the arrival of a new style advisor for the Princess as her long-time co-conspirator Natasha Archer has left her post. While several names circulate with speculation as to who is building the royal wardrobe, nothing has been confirmed just yet. Whoever it might be, we’re into their work.
