Kate Middleton rocks bargain Zara blazer and her favourite trainers for royal visit
Kate Middleton's Zara blazer and cool trainer combo was perfect for her sporty royal outing
Kate Middleton opted for comfortable chic when she teamed a cream Zara blazer with a pair of her favourite trainers for a special royal outing.
- Kate Middleton teamed a super affordable Zara blazer with her favourite pair of trainers for a royal visit.
- The Princess of Wales chose the chic high street piece to go with a pair of smart navy trousers and fresh white sneakers.
- This royal news comes after Kate and William’s epic family getaway they’re set to take George, Charlotte and Louis on this Easterwas revealed.
The Princess of Wales swung by Derby to meet Captain Preet Chandigarh MBE to celebrate her return from her solo expedition across Antarctica after breaking the world record for the furthest unsupported solo Polar expedition in history.
During her visit to the Landau Forte College in the city, Kate made sure she was appropriately dressed for the occasion as she attempted to pull tyres behind her - to experience the heavy load that Preet dragged during her trek.
And Kate's favourite trainers - a pair of white and rose gold metallic detail Veja Esplar trainers - came in handy as her feet gripped the floor during the challenge.
It's not surprising that Kate's high street Zara blazer is almost a sell-out online in cream, however there are two other colours - fuchsia and black that fans can choose from if they want to take inspiration from the Princess.
Kate previously wore the jacket in summer 2022, for her first work days since the Jubilee weekend.
The jacket was available for a limited time at half-price (£35.99) but the popular item has sold out at that sale price online. But for the cream limited stock is available in Medium and XL for the full retail price but be quick as they're not expected to stay on the shelves for long. Otherwise shoppers can search for the item at their local store.
