Kate Middleton Wore the Year's Biggest Boot Trend With Skinny Jeans

When it comes to denim styles, Kate Middleton doesn't experiment. She's clearly loyal to her skinny jeans. But with shoe trends, it's a bit of a different story. The duchess, who has recently returned to the spotlight post-maternity leave, stepped out with Prince William today to visit a youth program they support, and she chose the year's biggest boot trend for the occasion: Western boots.
No one can stop talking about Western boots this season, including us. Every retailer is standing behind the trend, and stylish women are embracing it. Middleton's boots were a subdued take on the trend—a Western-Chelsea boots hybrid by UK-based brand Russell & Bromley (check her Fallon Boots out here).
Unfortunately, the brand only ships within the UK, but there are plenty of styles on the market that would look equally chic with skinny jeans. Middleton completed her perfect fall outfit with a checked Smythe blazer and a turtleneck. Fall skinny-jean outfits don't get much better than this.
