Brown is 2022’s power colour. The Zoe Report have just declared it “the new neutral for 2022.” Kate must know this, having stepped out top-to-toe in the colour during a visit to Lancashire recently. Her chic outfit included this mid-length rib-knit skirt by Iris & Ink (style name: Ernestine).
She paired the Ernestine skirt with a matching camel-coloured roll-neck sweater by the same brand, coordinating brown boots and a very chic full-length coat—also in brown.
About the Iris & Ink Ernestine skirt:
The mélange mid-weight knit skirt is made from a soft merino blend wool that features a hint of elastane.
The slip-on skirt has a ribbed texture and a fluted hem for a flattering silhouette.
Buying the brown skirt:
At the time of writing (23rd Jan 2022), sadly the skirt is no longer available at The Outnet (Iris & Ink is The Outnet’s in-house brand). Both the top and the skirt sold out after Kate wore them. You could try eBay instead?
So nice she bought it twice!
The Duchess also owns the same outfit (skirt and sweater) in forest green. She wore it to film a video marking Remembrance Week, released in November 2021.
