The double breasted design and peak lapels make this cover-up very smart, plus the slim fit is flattering. It’s currently reduced in the sale to just $249, but it looks much more expensive, don’t you think?

Kate let her natural beauty shine through with a natural palette of make-up and let her statement tan ensemble be the focal point of her look.
She opted to wear a pretty yellow and tan mask for the occasion, and completed her look with matching tan accessories.
Her outfit choice comes after celebrity stylist Rochelle White said Kate is adopting a new ‘chic and simple’ style to appear ‘more mature and business-like’ during the Covid-19 crisis.
She told FEMAIL the move was particularly poignant because of the current crisis the UK is facing amidst the Covid-19 pandemic, revealing: ‘It could be a mix of wanting to be more mature and business like, while still being herself.’

Rochelle said the Duchess might be trying to keep focus on her message, rather than on her outfits, explaining: ‘I think that Kate knows that the press always have their eye on her what/who she is wearing.
‘I think her approach right now is to not be known for that but for what she is doing during this time.’
‘She is keeping it smart, simple and chic so that the attention isn’t based on what she is wearing when speaking to people of importance.’
During today’s visit, William and Kate spoke to crews at the ambulance station to hear how they coped mentally during the pandemic.
The Duchess paired the striking coat with matching accessories, including a brown polo neck, suede tan clutch bag and co-ordinating face mask
They went on to meet with paramedic Jahrin Khan, who asked the couple if it was okay to Facetime her father Abu, in Bangladesh.
The couple spoke to staff today about the problems they faced during one of the most challenging periods in the London Ambulance Service’s history.
The royals joined a call with Jay’s sister Nasrin and granddad Baharam in the UK. William told them: ‘She works very hard and she’s looking forward to seeing you soon.’
Kate added: ‘Hopefully it won’t be too long before you can all meet up and see each other again.’

They also met paramedic Shani Smith who has been helping to run one of the special tea trucks to serve medics over the past year, and heard how she has used her mental health training to provide peer support to her colleagues.
The visit comes a week and a half after the monarchy was plunged into crisis by the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s Oprah interview.
Kate is said to have found it ‘mortifying’ that allegations over her alleged row with Meghan Markle re-emerged two years ago after first being reported in 2018.
Royal biographer Penny Junor told People: ‘For Meghan to name Kate in a negative light is worse [for Prince William] than being attacked himself.’
She added: ‘William is very protective of Kate and can get very angry.’
