Princess Kate is saying goodbye to her suits — for now.

Kate, 41, broke her weeks-long suit-wearing streak when she stepped out on Wednesday, October 11, in a monochromatic knit skirt set.

The Princess of Wales looked stylish in a cream knit pullover sweater, adorned with tortoise shell buttons on the sides of each sleeve. She complemented the sweater with a matching cream ribbed knit mid-length skirt. Adding to her ensemble, she wore Gianvito Rossi pumps, Simone Rocha earrings, and carried a taupe Tusting Mini Holly bag. Her loose waves of chocolate brown hair completed the look, along with her signature black eyeliner.

Interestingly, the knit sweater and skirt set comes from the well-liked mid-priced French brand Sezane, rather than a luxury designer label. Even better, the skirt is still available for purchase online.

Kate has always had a taste for combining high-end and affordable clothing. Reiss, Mango, Superga, & Other Stories, and Zara are some of her go-to affordable brands. On the other hand, she also indulges in luxury brands like Alexander McQueen, Emilia Wickstead, Stella McCartney, Mulberry, and Erdem.

In celebration of World Mental Health Day, Kate and her husband Prince William hosted the "Exploring Our Emotional Worlds" forum in Birmingham, England on Tuesday, October 10. Surprisingly, Kate chose to forgo her usual designer garments and instead wore a vibrant yellow blazer from L.K. Bennett.

Fashion enthusiasts promptly noticed the conclusion of her streak of wearing suits on Wednesday. The previous instance of the royal not donning trousers was on September 8, when she opted for a maroon coat dress from Eponine London at St. Davids Cathedral in Pembrokeshire, Wales, to pay tribute to the late Queen Elizabeth II one year after her passing.

In a conscious endeavor to commemorate World Mental Health Day, the mother of three chose to don a sophisticated autumn ensemble for her visits to Nottingham Trent University and the University of Nottingham. During her time there, she engaged in conversations with students regarding their adaptation to the new semester and the ways in which they offer support to one another amidst their mental health challenges.

Kate enthusiastically joked, standing amidst a group of students at Nottingham Trent University. Reflecting on her own university experience, she revealed how it had remarkably enhanced her mental well-being. "Being a student allowed me the incredible opportunity to explore various hobbies, a penchant that continues to shape my life. I thoroughly enjoy immersing myself in novel pursuits, be it sports, music, or art, constantly seeking personal growth," she expressed.
