Kate Middleton goes normcore and casually beats William in a yacht race
See more Kate Middleton style »
Today the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge took to this high seas, competing in a friendly competition with New Zealand’s national yacht racing team. They got to wear sleek life jackets and normcore-approved windbreakers and hats, overtop their usual “Royals, they’re just like us!” casualwear. For Kate Middleton, this means Zara skinny jeans and a Breton stripe scoop neck shirt from Me + Em, a London-based retailer. And, because she was indeed on a boat, Kate wore a pair of tan and white Sebago boat shoes. Our favourite part of the whole outing was when Kate won the yacht race and was all ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ at Price William as she sailed past him. Go Kate!
There was also a small outfit change pre-yacht race. Kate started the day wearing her go-to pair of Stuart Weitzman wedges and a military blazer by Zara. So, begin prepping now for military fashion to be on trend as it’s basically Kate’s signature look. Though, to be fair, Will and Kate did spend the morning meeting with military families—so it could just be another case of Kate’s excellent ability at dressing for the occasion.
