Kate Middleton has just swapped her signature wide-leg trousers for these non-traditional pants.

      To trace the development of the Princess of Wales's fashion, one need only observe her pant selections. When Kate Middleton first garnered attention in the early 2000s, she favored low-rise bootcut jeans, much like many others. By the 2010s, her style evolved to include mid-rise skinny pants and jeans. In 2019, the princess embraced a new silhouette: wide-leg trousers. Prior to this, Middleton typically reserved pants and jeans for casual outings, opting for dresses at more formal events. With the advent of wide-leg trousers, she began styling pants in more sophisticated ways that excluded sneakers or flats. Over the past six years, Middleton has maintained her fondness for full-length, wide-leg trousers. However, today she broke from tradition by selecting straight-leg, cropped pants. Although this isn’t the first time she has donned such a style, it marks a shift from her usual fashion choices.
