Amongst her many other achievements, Catherine, Princess of Wales has amassed a growing audience for her expertly tailored and always-flattering outfit choices. This week she commanded our attention once again for her effortlessly chic, and oh-so-French styling of a knitted skirt set from cult-French brandSézane.
Visiting Nottingham Trent University to learn about their mental health support facilities as part her World Mental Health Day engagements, The Princess styled a neatly fitting beige jumper with a co-ordinated knitted skirt. Featuring five buttons that climb from the wrist to her forearm and a chic crew-neck cut the French-designed jumper was styled a-top the matching midi skirt and worn with beige court-shoes for the occasion.
The 2-step trick that fashion editors use for a quick and perfectly pulled-together look, the knitted skirt set has hit mass popularity, with brands such as Mango, Cos and Sézane producing chic iterations of the staple set. Wearing hers with co-ordinating, tonal accessories, The Princess opted for a top-handle beige bag and drop pearl earrings. She called upon her tried-and-true blow-out for an easy but elegant look of lightly tousled waves.
Taking a page out of the French-girls’ handbook, The Princess styled an ensemble that focused on excellent cuts, a comfortable finish, and the no-fuss ease that French women call upon to set their looks apart from the rest.
