It seems that Kate Middleton has chosen a favorite color this holiday season. Just a day after stepping out in a festive dress by Alexander McQueen [1], the duchess is breaking out another cardinal-colored design from her closet. Kate posed in a red suit set by Luisa Spagnoli that featured black buttons down the front and a black bow detail around the waist while going about her royal duties.

Kate previously wore the look twice before, on a trip to New Zealand last year [2] and while visiting St. Andrews in 2011. So, though the look may be close to five years old, Kate knows exactly how to make it feel modern and fresh, pairing the outfit with simple black pumps. Read on for a peek at how Kate has worn the outfit over the years along with a chance to shop similar styles for your closet.
