If there’s one person we can rely on in this world to nail a dress code, it would be Duchess Catherine – and her latest cross-country jaunt has done nothing to quell the feat.
On Wednesday, February 12, the Duchess paid a surprise visit to a Northern Irish farm, in the first of two poignant stop-offs in support of a nation-wide landmark survey she launched last month.
For the fun-filled engagement, all eyes were on Kate’s outfit, which was the perfect mix of casual farm chic. And yes, this stylish combo is hereby the new go-to trend.

She paired the look with a pair of black jeans and her favourite Penelope Chilver knee-high boots.
Underneath, she wore a beautiful blue roll neck jumper from British retailer John Lewis.
While the cooler winter temperatures haven’t technically reached Australia yet, we’re counting down the days till we can recreate this look!
Kate has single-handedly just made casual farm chic a thing.

At one point, she bonded with a beautiful alpaca, before meeting young children, with whom she helped feed a baby lamb.
The pictures speak for themselves – they’re too cute!

Apparently, the Duchess wasn’t fazed at all – she handled the snake like a pro!

The company helps social enterprises and distributes food and hot drinks to people who are experiencing homelessness.
For the visit, Kate made a very quick outfit tweak while she was outdoors – she changed out of her olive parker jacket and replaced it with a beautiful grey Reiss cocoon coat.

Coming in at AUD$249.00, it’s a bit of a splurge, but the style is timeless. Winter will roll around eventually, after all…
Seriously, how chic is this jumper!
