Kate Middleton's best style moments in pants, from wide-legged glory days to skinny jean dreams

Let's start with this recent outing, which thrilled fans and fashion enthusiasts alike the world over. Kate donned a casual chic ensemble as she attended the Chelsea Garden Show, wearing a pair of Massimo Dutti culottes - and these pants are the ultimate mood.

Action shot! Check out that kick flare!

In March 2019, Kate visited a children's centre wearing a stylish pair of black wide-legged jigsaw pants. Paired with a Gucci blouse and a glam mini bag, this look was all class!

While visiting Cyprus with husband Prince William in December last year, Duchess Catherine wore a pair of chic wide-legged trousers with her Smythe blazer - and frankly, we couldn't stop staring.

Nailing that cool-girl chic vibe!

In 2017, Kate visited the 1851 Trust roadshow wearing a pair of cropped J. Crew trousers in navy blue, and it provided all the sailor-chic inspo we never knew we needed!

Ever the style muse, Kate fitted right in as she attended the America's Cup World Series in a pair of black skinny jeans in 2016.

In 2012, Duchess Catherine stepped out to meet members of the British hockey team in a pair of very loud red skinny jeans. That's one way to make a statement!

That same year, Kate rocked her now-iconic skinny-jeans-and-rain-boots look while visiting 'Expanding Horizons' Primary School. Her hiking-chic boots were designed by Le Chameau Vierzonord.

Call it what you will, but 2012 might officially have been Kate's peak skinny jeans year. These bright blue numbers she wore as she stood outside Buckingham Palace to greet the Olympic Torch are definitely loud and proud, and check out fresh-faced Prince Harry!
