Kate Middleton's Latest Outfit Proves Skinny Pants Are Forever

It's a debate that'll get just about anyone to take a side: are skinny pants in or (as one very famous model turned TV host says) out? According to Kate Middleton, a pair of sleek black skinny pants will always have a place in the fashion lexicon, because she just wore a polished and proper pair to make a surprise appearance at a baby bank in Windsor today and proving that trends may come and go, but these Audrey Hepburn-approved ankle pants are here to stay. In classic Kate fashion, the Princess of Wales added a pair of practical, pointy-toed shoes to the mix, but she skipped out on her go-to heels this time and opted to wear flats (they're from Boden if anyone needs a new pair).

Kate's outfit also included a camel Reiss blazer that is a permanent part of her rotation and a white top. Her pants are from L.K. Bennett, one of her favorite brands, and she added a Daniella Draper citrine necklace and gold Sézane hoops to finish the look in addition to sporting her usual bouncy blowout and neutral makeup.
