Kate Middleton put together her business attire with pieces by Burberry, Jigsaw, Hugo and more for a visit to Farnborough Road Infant and Junior School on Tuesday in Southport, England, alongside Prince William.

For the royal outing on the crisp, early autumn day, the Princess of Wales opted for some fall layering. The British royal family member wore a pair of gray trousers, complemented by her similarly toned maxicoat with sharp lapels and long sleeves by British label Jigsaw.

The royal added even more nods to Britain’s fashion industry, wearing a pink silk crepe de chine blouse with a lavallière by Burberry. Finishing touches for her attire included stilettos by Hugo Boss. A mini gray bag from London label Smythson and jewelry pieces by Kiki McDonough and Annoushka Jewelery completed her sartorial ensemble.

Throughout her time as a prominent member of the royal family, Middleton has regularly worn pieces crafted by British luxury fashion houses, dating back to her April 2011 nuptials to Prince William, for which she wore a gown by former McQueen designer Sarah Burton, who currently serves as the creative director of Givenchy.

Along with designs from McQueen and pieces by Burton, Middleton has also nodded to brands like Self-Portrait, Safiyaa and Catherine Walker, the latter of which was also a favorite designer of the late Princess Diana.

Sending subtle messages through her royal wardrobe has always been a cornerstone quality of the Princess of Wales’ approach to fashion. Whether its nodding to British brands, or paying homage to visiting leaders — like when Middleton wore Dior to welcome French President Emmanuel Macron and First Lady Brigitte Macron to Windsor in July — her wardrobe selections consistently carry multiple meanings.
