Speaking on the outfit, which Kate wore to the British Design Awards 2022, the Vintage fashion expert noted that it was "lovely and elegant". She pointed out the "interesting

features", including ties on the arms and a gold belt which elevate the look. With earrings to match the belt and coordinated court shoes and a clutch, the tonal ensemble is fitting

with the Duchess' stand-out fashion sense. While Kate is known for her one-colour approach to her formal wardrobe, the tonal theme is used more loosely on casual occasions. For public

engagements, Kate is known to opt for trousers, blouses, and jumpers in shades of regal blue.
