However, the thing that's taken Kate's outfits to the next level is undoubtedly her new, more trend-forward accessories. 

Kate often finds comfort in minimal clutch bags, nude pumps, and simple jewels, but recently she's been experimenting with more directional extras, all of which just so happen to be perfect for party season, too.
