Kate Middleton's Military Chic: The Duchess Dons Another McQueen Coat!

Kate may love a good bargain, but when it comes to her outerwear the Duchess has an affinity for the same label that crafted her infamous wedding dress. Check out her latest look here!

Catherine, the Duchess of Cambridge, brought her feminine flair into a military-inspired get-up on Jun. 25 when she stepped out with her husband for the first joint military ceremony, part of the UK’s third Armed Forces Day. So, what does one wear for the occasion?

Kate opted for a navy, double-breasted McQueen coat. She added a fascinator, pumps, and a gold shamrock brooch that has also been worn by the Queen Mother and Princess Anne. To top it all off, Kate had on what appears to be a princess charm bracelet! The simple link bracelet had a hanging charm, engraved with a picture of a crown above the letter ‘C’. While it reminds me of all the silly princess jewelry little girls love to wear, if anyone has a reason to sport a crown it’s definitely Kate! I wonder if it was given to her as a gift after the Royal Wedding.

While the down-to-earth Duchess has a penchant for more affordable brands like Zara, when it comes to her outerwear she seems fond of McQueen — after all, this is the second coat she’s worn from the brand since her nuptials, not to mention the fact that she wed in the label as well.

I love the way Kate mixes high-fashion items with everyday pieces, and she once again exuded effortlessly chic style — do you agree?
