Kate Middleton is becoming almost as well-known for her recent pantsuit looks as for her penchant for royal re-wears, so it was only a matter of time before we started seeing her power suits make repeat appearances. I just didn’t expect to see the same suit twice in a single week.
This particular suit isn’t your basic black businesswear, either. This is a dark blue pinstriped suit from Holland Cooper with a double-breasted blazer and wide-legged trousers embellished with gold buttons, giving it an Al Capone-joins-the-navy feel.

On September 29, the Princess of Wales wore the Holland Cooper set with a cream turtleneck to visit Apple CEO Tim Cook, per Hello. Then, a few days later, on October 3, she wore the same suit with a white bodysuit blouse to celebrate the UK’s Black History Month with her husband, Prince William. (Of course, we had to find a few more affordable options that are a little easier to order stateside.)

We’ve obviously seen the princess recycle her favourite pieces before. Just recently, she re-wore a favourite bright red Zara blazer on another official royal visit.
And before entering her Girl Boss era, she was known to favour the same few ladylike coats and shirtdresses for multiple public appearances. For me, frankly, anything Kate Middleton can do to further normalise outfit repeating for women is to be supported.
