Pippa and Kate Middleton's Coat Trend Will Never Go Out of Style
With Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's impending wedding and Kate Middleton's pregnancy, there are more eyes on the British royal family's personal lives than ever before. Of course, there's one thing we'll always focus on: their impeccable style. This week, both Kate Middleton and her sister, Pippa, stepped out in the same timeless trend: black-and-white houndstooth coats.
Attending the Children's Global Media Summit in Manchester on Wednesday, the Duchess of Cambridge wore L.K.Bennett's Delli Coat ($663) with tights and her trusty Tod's suede shoes that she also wore last month. On Tuesday, Pippa wore a similar black-and-white coat with skinny jeans, proving that chic style definitely runs in the family. If you're still debating which coat trend to invest in this season, consider this your best bet.
