The Princess of Wales is definitely mixing things up a bit when it comes to style.
One of her most recent outfits was a real autumnal treat, and a total departure from her usual midi dresses and trouser suits.
Kate teamed Cefinn’s ‘Janie’ funnel neck sleeveless knit with matching grey Sezane trousers, J.Crew heels and Shyla London earrings. We love the way she layered a smart white stand collar shirt beneath the sweater vest too!
Cefinn ‘Janice’ cashmere blend funnel neck jumper
A great match for the sold out ‘Janie’ knit that the Princess of Wales wore, ‘Janice’ is made from a luxury cashmere and merino blend.
Forget any associations you might have with school or maybe even Chandler Bing – this layering piece will be your best friend as the weather starts to turn.
Make like Kate by wearing a crisp white shirt underneath, adding blue jeans and a pair of colour pop loafers for an effortlessly preppy look.
£180 is a bit of an investment, but much more affordable than Kate’s go-to Alexander McQueen.

Of course, Cefinn isn’t the only place you can get your hands on a sleeveless knit this season. ME+EM (another favourite of Kate’s) has got one of the best alternatives on the market, because you really do get more for your money.
This chunky knit vest can be worn with or without the roll neck. Genius!
Kendall Jenner, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley and Taylor Swift are all big fans of the sweater vest, and there are endless ways to wear them, especially while the weather isn’t too cold.
Try styling yours with a trouser suit, some 70s-inspired flared jeans or even pair it with your frothiest midi skirt. Can you layer it over a dress? YES!
Grey is a great way to channel Kate’s royal style, and is a bit more understated than some of the multicoloured masterpieces you might remember from back in the day.
The only trouble you’ll have is narrowing it down to just one…
Allegra K sweater vest at Amazon
We love the cable knit design on this budget-friendly alternative.
It’s also available in black or cream, but hurry, there are limited sizes left!
Shearling and shades of camel would go really nicely. Just add a pumpkin spice latte!

Massimo Dutti knit vest
This one’s a Fashion Finder favourite, and Massimo Dutti is making a case for wearing it without layers undeath.
Try tucking it into a pair of tailored belted high waist trousers for a big day in the boardroom.

J.Crew cashmere crewneck sweater shell
Kate’s not the only one embracing the sweater vest trend.
Meghan Markle wore a black version of this cashmere crewneck at the Invictus Games in Germany, and staying true to her California cool style, she wore hers on its own.
It showed off her toned arms perfectly!
It’s also a great one to reveal a shirt collar though, so try it with a blue striped shirt underneath, adding black leather trousers and mule heels.
