There's hardly an item of clothing that doesn’t sell out within hours of being worn by Kate Middleton, the Princess of Wales. And her latest turn in a tailored olive green pantsuit is unlikely to prove any different. The sharp two-piece ensemble by Victoria Beckham joins the ever-growing list of solid-hued suits that the royal has recently been partial to — she has been spotted in several iterations of the look, including a pinstriped navy double-breasted blazer with matching trousers, a fiery red blazer with wide-legged trousers, and even a pale pink number broken up with a simple white tank.
“Sharp, structured, and understated, Kate’s suits have become a global obsession, with this particular design out completely in every size and colour, within 24 hours! Kate’s pick signals the return of the iconic power suit, a fashion mainstay since the late 1970s. Today, it has evolved into something modern, versatile, and empowering, just like the women who wear it,” explains fashion designer Aanchal Bubber-Mehta. If you, like Kate, want your inner girl-boss to shine, here are a few simple dos and don’ts to keep you well-suited in Mumbai’s sultry weather.
