Kate Middleton Just Wore the Surprising Denim Trend That's All Over H&M and Zara

After the busy Coronation weekend, it was right back to work for members of the royal family, but with a far more casual affair for Kate Middleton and Prince William. They attended the Big Help Out (a day when people in the UK are encouraged to volunteer) with their three children in tow. And Middleton's wardrobe for the occasion was quite the departure from her ornate wardrobe over the weekend.
For the outdoor event, Middleton wore two of her favourite casual-attire items: Skinny jeans and Blundstone Chelsea boots. But the jeans weren't her typical plain black skinny jeans. She opted for a cargo pair, which she wore with a pretty chambray denim blouse.
Cargo everything is trending right now, so it was fun to see Middleton in a pair that suited her aesthetic. There are cargo-jean options to suit every preference, so scroll on to find your pair (including the exact G-Star Raw ones that Middleton wore).
