We’re clearly not the only ones adding Taylor Swift ‘fits to our Pinterest boards. On November 23, Kate Middleton visited the baby bank Sebby’s Corner in northwest London wearing a look that would fit in perfectly with the pop star’s prep-school-inspired fall uniform.
Much like Swift, whose wardrobe is filled to the brim with formfitting long-sleeved basics (you can see a recent example here), the Princess of Wales built her look around a simple black turtleneck. And while the 41-year-old princess did not pair her ribbed turtleneck with a pleated miniskirt a là Swift, she did break the same longstanding fashion rule that the pop star ignored twice in October.
In photos from her tour of the baby bank, Middleton can be seen pairing her black top with a chocolate brown midiskirt, topping of the look with a black leather belt and knee-high boots, which are having a major moment right now.
Despite what fashion fear mongers have been claiming for years, Kate Middleton and Taylor Swift have recently proven that various brown shades of brown do not, in fact, clash with black when styled thoughtfully. It’s almost like they’re all neutrals!
In late October, Swift added a bit of warmth to her chilly New York look by pairing a buttery leather Madewell blazer with a black top and brown corduroy miniskirt. Meanwhile, adding a deep chocolate brown skirt to an otherwise black ensemble added some much-needed depth and balance to Middleton’s dark holiday look.
