Kate Middleton Paired 2024's Two Biggest It Colors With Winter's Most Coveted Shoe Trend

After a long absence while she completed her cancer treatment, Kate Middleton is back to her royal duties, making an appearance with Prince William this week in Southport, England. Middleton wore some of fall and winter 2024's biggest trends for the appearance, coordinating perfectly with Prince William.

Middleton is no stranger to color trends and rarely wears neutrals. In fact, the colors she wears are often the focus of our coverage of her looks here at Who What Wear. The colors she chose to wear this week represent two of 2024's biggest trends: burgundy and chocolate brown , which we've discussed again and again in recent months. Middleton wore them in the form of a polka-dot burgundy dress under a long chocolate-brown coat. To ensure the look was even more trend-forward, she wore a shoe trend everyone wants to get their hands on prior to winter, brown suede shoes. Middleton went with a pair of classic brown suede pumps, but we're also seeing the trend in the form of brown suede boots, loafers, Mary Janes, and many other styles.

If Middleton's look is inspiring you to shop for winter, keep scrolling for some of my favorite burgundy and chocolate-brown pieces right now as well as brown suede shoes.
