Now that spring is here, if you're looking for some outfit inspiration, look no further than Kate Middleton's latest look. The royal stepped out today in Birmingham amongst the blue skies to meet with future leaders in the arts and creative industries. 

Appearing alongside her husband Prince William, for the occasion The Princess of Wales opted for a burgundy-coloured midi dress, styled alongside heels in the exact same colour. The dress featured trench coat detailing on the top, with a waist tie and a pleated skirt.

Designed by Karen Millen, the item also happens to be from the high street and retails for £229. Sadly, the exact burgundy style Middleton is wearing in these photos has already sold out but the same dress is currently available in black, green and beige colourways. You can also shop the look in a petite variation if you happen to be 5'4" or under. 

By way of accessories, Middleton kept it relatively minimalist but added a pair of earrings to her look by the French label Sezane. 

This is not the first time The Princess of Wales has been spotted in a look by Karen Millen. In fact, just last October she was seen in a yellow midi dress by the label while visiting a maternity unit at the Royal Surrey County Hospital.

On that occasion, Middleton paired her look alongside navy heeled pumps and a similarly coloured clutch bag. 

The beauty of these Karen Millen designs is that the looks are completely timeless and void of any transient trends. This means, if you choose to invest in Kate Middleton's dress below you can rest assured you will keep it for years and wear it to a number of different occasions. 

Whether it be to the office, or even to a winter wedding, these dresses will stand the test of time.
