Kate Middleton epitomized fall-chic style on Thursday while visiting Scarborough, England with Prince William .
Arriving in the English fishing port’s community hub The Street, the Princess of Wales wore a light tan cashmere coat by Max&Co. The long-sleeved piece, featuring a pointed collar and hem that is just below the knee, is a classic style with a similarly classic color that’s become utterly timeless; new styles are frequently released from numerous brands every year, including Banana Republic, Michael Kors and Loro Piana.

Middleton paired it with a matching cashmere skirt, as well as a turtleneck sweater with a rolled neckline, to create a tonal monochromatic outfit. Complementing her attire was a matching small $395 Nano Montreal handbag by DeMellier, a top-handle style crafted from toffee-hued leather, as well as a red poppy pin and delicate gold circle drop earrings.
For footwear, Middleton opted for a set of pointed-toe pumps. Her style, taking a curved D’Orsay silhouette, featured warm brown leather uppers with triangular toes and curved closed counters. Stiletto heels, likely totaling at least 4 inches in height, finished the pair with a slick height boost. The style also further streamlined the royal family member’s ensemble and coordinated with its classic nature.

Pointed-toe pumps have emerged as a top shoe trend this year, especially as live events have returned and more people are dressing up. The style often streamlines any ensemble from its sleek silhouettes and thin heels — a styling maneuver Middleton often uses in her own monochromatic and two-toned outfits. Pairs with neutral or jewel-toned suede and leather uppers are the most popular, as seen in new pairs by Veronica Beard, Schutz and L’Agence.

When it comes to shoes, Middleton wears pointed-toe pumps so often they’ve become her style signature, which she frequently sources from Emmy London, Jimmy Choo and Stuart Weitzman. Her go-to style is Gianvito Rossi’s 105 pumps, which she owns in five colors. In addition to her royal rotation of heels, the duchess also wears affordable sneakers from New Balance, Adidas, Superga and Zara on and off-duty.
