↓ 9. Get your buttoned blazer tailored

This is a tip every top-notch businesswoman probably knows: a tailored blazer is a life changer. Here Kate models the versatility of a navy blue blazer featuring gold buttons over a pinafore style blouse and jeans. (The Duchess knows how to rock a pair of skinny jeans, am I right?!) Add some espadrilles and as always, style your hair in loose, shiny waves.

For this look, we have also included a similarly styled outfit to show you some options for an ensemble like this one. Note that in this picture, the model has chosen a very similar blazer with the decorating buttons, a plain blouse, jeans, and little flats. This lady has also accessorized with an adorable handbag.

↓ 8. Pair white heels with a print dress

Here the Duchess of Cambridge is a vision in a knee-length Chanel frock paired with white pumps and a darling little hat. To bring this look down from a royal level, you can skip the hat or switch it out for a wide-brimmed floppy hat. Pull your hair back and style in loose curls. Don’t forget a clutch to stash your essentials.

This makes for a great wedding guest outfit or formal event ensemble.

↓ 7. Wear your dark-wash skinny jeans with espadrilles

To really pull of a Duchess of Cambridge semi-casual look, check out her rocking espadrilles. Whether paired with a blazer or a tee shirt, adding espadrilles or heels to a look featuring skinny jeans automatically brings the look up a notch. We love how seamlessly Kate pairs casual pieces with dressier items, making even a pair of jeans seem classy and ultra-sophisticated.

↓ 6. Style your brown walking boots like Kate

This gorgeous set of brown boots look incredible when paired with a white button-down, topped with a vest, sunglasses, and gray skinny jeans. This is a functional travel outfit that seems like it’s straight out of an Indiana Jones movie (in a good way).
