Kate Middleton Just Wore the Elegant Shoe Trend That Looks Best With Tricky Ankle-Length Trousers
Stepping out in a chic early-autumn look—and striking new shade of hair—discover the trouser and shoe combination I'll be borrowing from Kate this season.


There are certain style dilemmas I turn to Catherine, Princess of Wales, to solve. With her sharp eye for tailoring and a wardrobe built around polished, structured pieces, Kate Middleton has long been my north star when it comes to mastering elegant, streamlined dressing. And today, she's reminded me why—stepping out with the shoe solution to one of the most notoriously difficult trouser lengths.
Spotted in a deep forest-green pair of trousers, Middleton's look featured a silhouette that’s famously tricky to get right: ankle-length trousers. While the length feels polished and refined, it can often prove awkward when it comes to shoes. Middleton's answer? A pair of sleek pointed-toe flats in a soft caramel shade.
Elongating by means of the pointed silhouette, the clever shoe pairing also adds an understated elegance to her outfit, all the while keeping her look comfortable and relaxed thanks to its flat sole.
The rest of her ensemble followed suit. A crisp, tailored shirt from British brand With Nothing Underneath (£120) and a neatly cut tweed blazer completed her outfit. Finished with a new hair colour: glossy, tousled waves in a soft shade of bronde, the softer hue played in harmony with the earthy tones of her outfit.
Inspired by Middleton's perfectly put-together early-autumn outfit, I’ve curated an edit of the best ankle-length trousers and pointed-toe flats to re-create the look. Scroll on to see it.
