I’ve gotten so used to Kate Middleton’s colorful power suits lately that I was genuinely shocked to see her in this oatmeal-colored sweater skirt set (which looks amazing, by the way) on October 11. The monochromatic knitwear look sure seems like a return to her usual style, but does this mean the princess’s office-attire era is already kaput?

For day two of her World Mental Health Day tour, the Princess of Wales wore a matching pullover sweater and midiskirt, which she accessorized with color-matched cream pumps and a small handle bag. She finished the ensemble with statement pearl earrings and her signature long waves. Classic Kate.

The princess wore the cozy-sophisticated ’fit to visit Nottingham Trent University and nearby Nottingham University, per People, to discuss mental health and well-being with students. (Coincidentally: Stateside, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry also visited a higher education institution, The Marcy Lab School in Brooklyn, according to People.)
