Kate Middleton Proves She Wears the Pants on Her Latest Outing

Most of us are used to seeing Kate Middleton wearing knee-length dresses and chic coats for her daytime engagements. On the rare occasions that she wears pants, it tends to be for sporty, outdoor settings, when she'll slip into a pair of skinny jeans. However, the duchess seems to have recently developed a penchant for high-waisted, wide-leg pants, and on Tuesday she gave a chic pair from Jigsaw a spin when she visited a children's center in London.

Maybe it's the influence of her sister-in-law, or perhaps Kate finally found the perfect fit for her body and stocked up on multiple pairs. Whatever it is, this look is definitely playing to her strengths. Kate teamed her smart black pants with another new designer piece: a pussy-bow blouse by Gucci in a color the duchess has been turning to time and time again recently. You can still shop the purple blouse, plus Kate's beige Aspinal of London handbag, if you hurry! Keep reading for a closer look at the outfit, and then add the royal-approved items to your basket.
