Kate Middleton has given a subtle show of support for Victoria Beckham on the day of her Netflix documentary, wearing a trouser suit in the ‘bold’ colour of the season – olive green
We can always count on Kate Middleton to be ahead of the curve when it comes to fashion, and when she wore an olive green trouser suit back in May, we knew it was going to become an instant hit. And sure enough, as autumn has rolled around, olive green is the top trending colour of the season, which is why Princess Kate thought now was the perfect time to re-wear her chic trouser suit.
During a visit to charity Home-Start Oxford today, the Princess of Wales re-wore the olive green tailored suit that was designed by none other than British icon Victoria Beckham. Whether a happy accident or a subtle show of support to coincide with the release of Victoria’s new Netflix documentary (which launched today) one thing is for sure; Princess Kate’s suit is about to be the must-have look for autumn.

Whilst Kate’s bold olive green version of the suit is now officially out of stock everywhere, you can still pick it up in a slightly more muted shade of green. The Alina Trousers are available in the shade Oregano for £490, whilst the aptly named Katherine Jacket – which also comes in shade Oregano – is £890.
Currently the trousers are very low in stock, with only sizes eight, 12 and 14 still available to buy. However they’re also available at Selfridges in a much broader range of sizes, with sizes six to 14 still in stock.
Whilst meeting the children at Home-Start, one child accidentally dirtied Princess Kate’s suit during messy play, with one of the children injecting Kate with a toy syringe. The Princess also left with flour on the jacket of her trouser suit and she asked another child “what are you making, are you making a cake? Delicious.”
Whilst we’re a huge fan of Princess Kate’s VB trouser suit – and her love of re-wearing the items in her wardrobe – if it’s a little out of budget there are some other places to get her look without breaking the bank. At Hobbs, the Neava Wide Trousers are currently on sale down from £119 to £101.15 and come in a similar dark green shade. You can also pair it perfectly with the matching Neava Jacket which is now £139.30, down from £199.
For an even more budget-friendly pick, River Island’s Green Long Sleeve Oversized Blazer is £59, whilst the matching Green Wide Leg Tailored Trousers are £39. The trousers have a more wide leg fit to Kate’s tailored, tapered style, but the suit is a great way to embody her look for less.
