Kate Middleton Makes Us Want to Invest in a Winter Tracksuit
Kate Middleton, Duchess of Cambridge, mother to heir of the British throne, fashion inspiration to many, pulled off her most impressive sartorial feat: She wore a tracksuit in public and made it look impossibly chic. Can we get an “amen?”
The always-polished Duchess traded in her typical knee-length sheath dresses and fitted coats for a pair of side-striped sweats, sneakers, and a ponytail for a day at the National Tennis Centre in London, England. (Last December, she became Patron of the Lawn Tennis Association, taking over the role from The Queen who previously held the title for 64 years.)

Even for this sportier occasion, Middleton stuck to homegrown brands to source her outfit: She was wearing the Tuxedo Track Pant from the luxe activewear brand Monreal London.

The Duchess’ exact track pants can be purchased from Monreal London’s website—but regal athleisure doesn’t come cheap: It’ll cost you $345 to wear royal-approved sweats.
She paired the Tuxedo Track Pants with a white collared shirt and black jacket. Then, she laced up a pair of Nike Air Vapormax Flyknit sneakers, which you can snag from Nike for $190.

While visiting the National Tennis Centre, the Duchess participated in a coaching session with Johanna Konta, ambassador of the philanthropic organization Tennis for Kids. Kensington Palace tweeted some video’s of the Duchess’ morning playing tennis with the children.

This is by far the most casual ensemble we’ve seen Middleton wear since announcing her third pregnancy. (Recently she danced with Paddinton Bear in a peach Orla Kiely dress.) Though it makes sense with the occasion, her athleisure look was certainly unexpected from the Duchess—but we fully support it.

Next time we oversleep and don’t have time to think through an outfit, we’re going with some sleek sweats and a pair of Nikes, and cite Middleton as the inspiration. Bosses, you’ve been warned.
