    Kate Middleton's style is nothing short of iconic, so much so that pretty much everything the Princess of Wales wears sells out almost instantly. The Princess stepped out in a royal green power blazer today, further proving green is the colour of the season, and now we want in. 

    The Princess took a trip to Leeds on Tuesday to meet textile manufacturers and learn about the history and process of the textile industry. Kate showed she knows about tailoring in a stunning green Burberry wool pantsuit. While we were still lusting over her new curtain bangs haircut, we couldn't take our eyes off the royal green tailored suit. Pulling together the look with matching green suede pumps and gold jewellery, if green is the Princess' favourite shade, it's ours too.

    We spotted the royal in green hues throughout the summer season, from the front row at Wimbledon to the carriage ride at Trooping The Colour. The Princess of Wales opted for the fresh shade for the sunnier days, but now, as we enter Autumn is back in her classic blazer style and showing us that dark hues of green are a must-have in our Autumn/Winter wardrobe.

    Kate Middleton was one of the best dressed at Wimbledon this year and wore not one, but two green looks. A lime green belted midi dress by designer Self Portrait, while on Day 14 the royal opted for an emerald green cap sleeve dress by Roland Mouret.

    Princess Kate made three appearances at Wimbledon this year and interestingly wore green every single time. Earlier in the tournament, on Day 2, the royal wore a green blazer and white skirt outfit, which many credited as a homage to Princess Diana.

    Of course, it is extremely evident that green is the colour The Princess of Wales favours, as it is even appearing across her more casual attire.

    If you're ready to replace the Barbiecore brights in your wardrobe or are not a fan of the sheer trend, this shade might be the perfect antidote. Keep scrolling to shop green fashion items inspired by The Princess of Wales, including two of the exact dresses she wore to Wimbledon.
