Kate Middleton recently donned the knit that all of my fashionable friends desire, and it’s still available for purchase.
As the temperatures drop, there's a tendency to fall back on rigid outfit combinations—typically a mix of trousers, a knit, and a coat, making it easy to step outside. However, winter fashion doesn't have to be so formulaic. The charm of the season is in the layers, and one person who has reminded me of this recently is Kate Middleton.
Yesterday, the Princess of Wales visited Mallon Farm with Prince William, showcasing what can only be described as the perfect cold-weather ensemble. She wore a classic roll-neck sweater, a cream knit cardigan, a grey pleated skirt, and black slouchy leather boots. The outfit was completed with a deep-green waxed barn jacket, embodying the British country chic style she has perfected over the years.
As someone who is passionate about knitwear, I was immediately drawn to her cream cardigan, which happens to be from one of my favorite British brands, With Nothing Underneath. This label is known for its sustainably produced capsule essentials and has branched out from tailoring to beautifully designed knitwear. The Jura Cardigan—made from sturdy yet luxuriously soft yak wool—is built to endure the unpredictable British climate. The “coffee” shade worn by Kate is especially refined, while it is also available in navy and black for those who lean towards darker tones.
Regarding the rest of her outfit, Middleton opted for classic staples: a Ralph Lauren pleated midi skirt, Penelope Chilvers suede boots, and a traditional Barbour jacket—each a masterclass in sophisticated British style.
The best part? All items are currently available, so recreating her elegant, countryside-inspired look is easier than ever. Scroll down to shop below.
