We all have that one outfit we can't seem to toss away. For Kate Middleton, that would be her burgundy Paule Ka skirt suit (among a few other treasures [1]). The Duchess of Cambridge first wore the outfit in 2012 but styled it a little differently when she visited the Action For Children center. Kate layered a black turtleneck underneath her blazer and accessorized with gloves. A pair of Stuart Weitzman boots completed the look, lending a more casual feel than heels.

The duchess seems to have an affinity for keeping around power woman suit sets like this one [2], and we totally get that. You never know when you'll need to pull one out again. The next time you think about throwing away such a sophisticated look, pull a Kate and keep it stocked in the back of your wardrobe, at least for a few more years.

It Was a Nice Little Change-Up From 5 Years Ago
