Ladies, it's tights season [1]. At least that's the message we got from Kate Middleton's festive ensemble when she stepped out at the Place2Be School Leaders Forum [2] in London. The duchess kept warm [3] by layering opaque stockings underneath her Goat tunic [4] ($640), which featured a row of buttons at the neck to draw attention to Kate's poppy pin.
It wasn't just a solid maternity look [5] that offered comfort, it was also a step toward embracing cold weather [6] and the holiday season [7] all at once. Read on to see how Kate accessorized with Tod's pumps, a Mulberry clutch that coordinated in color, and a few sparkling finishes, including Mappin & Webb earrings and her sapphire engagement ring [8], then shop her exact shift along with similar options that pair quite nicely with tights.
