Kate Middleton has continued her stylish tour of Glasgow, appearing to theme-dress as she and Prince William stepped out to an official engagement.
The Duchess of Cambridge looked Scout-esque in a $445 eco-friendly, quilted puffer vest.
Kate visited The Scout Association wearing the khaki-coloured Ganni vest, which is part of the label’s Let’s Go Outside capsule.
The garment is made of 100 per cent recycled polyester – very on-brand for Kate’s trip to Scotland where she has attended the 2021 United Nations Climate Change Conference.
The stylish royal teamed the vest with a pair of See By Chloé Mozart lace-up boots, which the Duchess of Cambridge has had in her wardrobe since 2019, The Zoe Report noted.
A black cashmere turtleneck from Really Wild and a traditional Scout scarf around her neck completed the look.
Per People magazine, the royals “grilled up veggie burgers, made and scattered wildflower seed ‘bombs’, and mastered the basics of bicycle maintenance”.
Kate is the joint president of The Scout Association, alongside Prince William.
The eco-conscious royals were due to co-host a reception for the Sustainable Markets Initiative.
It came after Kate turned heads at the Glasgow climate summit wearing a striking coat dress.
Wearing the cobalt outfit – a hue often sported by the late Princess Diana – the Duchess of Cambridge rubbed shoulders with fellow royals and world leaders at the COP26.
Kate, 39, sported the ankle-skimming £2400 ($A4357) outfit with power shoulders from London-based label Eponine’s spring/summer 2020 collection.
She teamed the dress – from a range that was released about 18 months ago – with a pair of £425 ($A771) pumps that she’s worn about a dozen times before heels from British designer Rupert Sanderson.
