Kate Middleton's suede ballet flats are the perfect shoe for in-between autumn weather

During her most recent visit to the newly renovated gardens at the Natural History Museum yesterday (September 4) Kate Middleton put together the perfect autumnal outfit for this in-between weather we’re currently having. The Princess of Wales opted for a green tweed blazer, a crisp white shirt and some tailored trousers, and finished off the look with brown accessories including the perfect pair of suede ballet flats for the season.

Although Princess Kate is known for re-wearing plenty of pieces, this seems to be the first time she’s worn the Ella design brown suede flats from Pretty Ballerinas. The pointed toe ballet flats feature fringing details across the front, with a gold buckle detail.

Although Princess Kate’s exact pair are no longer available on the Pretty Ballerinas website, the Ella style is available in a whole host of different colours and prints, most of which are currently on sale. The closest pair to Kate’s brown suede pair are this £229 khaki green and brown suede version which feature green and brown panelling with a large khaki buckle on the front.

We also spotted another perfect autumn-ready pair, with this tartan suede pair coming in dark autumnal colours with a subtle check print. Usually priced at £189, they’re currently on sale for just £99 and available in almost all sizes.

Pretty Ballerinas' Ella shoes are great for transitioning our wardrobes into autumn, and make the perfect stepping stone between your summer sandals and autumn boots. You can easily wear them with tailored trousers like Princess Kate, or with some jeans and a knit for a more casual outfit. They’re also a great option for wearing with dresses and skirts, with the pointed toe helping elongate your legs and create more of a statement between your hemline and the ground.

If you want a similar brown suede look to Princess Kate, we also spotted some great alternatives on the high street. Boden’s Easy Slingback Flats are £119, although the code MY7P will save you 15%. They have a similar tan colourway and pointed to to Kate’s flats, but feature a slingback heel and dainty bow on the front.

Meanwhile at Schuh the Vagabond Shoemakers Wioletta Ballet Flat in Brown have a huge discount that brings them down from £110 to £37.99, although remaining sizes are limited. These are a perfect every day shoe, with a chisel toe shape and wide buckles strap across the arches.

However if you want to copy Princess Kate’s style, Pretty Ballerinas' Ella shoes are the perfect pick for autumn. As well as suede, they come in leather and fabric options, with everything from buckles and studs to raffia and fringe details, so you can find the perfect pair for you.
