Here's How You Know Kate Middleton's Black Coat Is a Classic

Kate Middleton joined Prince William to pay respects to the sixth Duke of Westminster at a memorial service. And though the occasion was somber, Kate knew just what to wear. Her bespoke Alexander McQueen design is one she wore for Remembrance Day in 2015, proving it's a sophisticated choice year after year.

Completing her outfit with Gianvito Rossi pumps and a John Boyd felt hat, which featured felt strips to complement her jacket's velvet panels, it's clear her look was carefully considered from head to toe. Of course, McQueen is also one of Kate's go-to labels, so she can trust the fashion house when it comes to fit and style.

Read on to take a peek at the duchess's wardrobe staple, and don't be surprised when she pulls out this number again. It's certainly appropriate for any event she might have on the agenda.
