Kate Middleton's breezy wide-leg trousers are a versatile summer basic and she just wore them to a very personal launch

Catherine, Princess of Wales smiles as she arrives for the launch of "Foundations for Life: A Guide to Social and Emotional Development" at the University of East London on May 06, 2026.

The Princess of Wales is back in action after the bank holiday and stepped out wearing a summery twist on her go-to outfit formula for a visit to the University of East London. Kate went to launch Foundations for Life: A Guide to Social and Emotional Development and she was the epitome of elegance and professionalism in her caramel blazer and matching trousers.

The future Queen used to primarily wear dresses but in recent years she's revamped her wardrobe staples and tailored sets her most-worn attire for engagements. Not everyone will want to wear a full suit day-to-day, but her wide-leg trousers caught my eye as they're a basic item that you can build a variety of spring outfit ideas around.
