We're not quite sure if Kate Middleton is getting trendier or if just that many trends out there right now are directly inspired by her, but whether she means to or not, she just keeps wearing one It item after another, from headbands and hairbows to croc-embossed bags and sheer dresses. And now, she's wearing winter's biggest sweater trend, which is one that we can't stop wearing here at Who What Wear: a cropped cardigan (similar to one she may or may not have worn in the '90s).
Middleton took out her on-trend cardigan for a very festive occasion: a Christmas party for families of military personnel, so it's fitting that the skirt she chose truly resembled a Christmas card. To style it, she chose a red tartan Emilia Wickstead skirt and chic slouchy boots. Hello, perfect holiday party outfit idea.
