But not just any old two-piece.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ve seen Kate in plenty of trouser suits lately, but this outfit \u2014 a fitted and sleek ribbed sweater and matching midi skirt from French label Sezane in luxurious oatmeal, worn with no accessories other than a pair of Simone Rocha pearl drop earrings \u2014 is surprisingly her most fashion-conscious look in a while.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s the new twinset (and pearls), ladylike elegance rebooted for 2023.<\/p>\n<p>The look is gaining traction \u2014 and is one that you don\u2019t have to be rich or royal to pull off.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>This particular co-ord, costing \u00a3245 for both pieces, sold out instantly. For if we\u2019ve seen one significant shift in fashion this year, it is that we\u2019re dressing in a more classic and polished way than we have been for a long time.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/10\/18\/20\/76723749-12646099-image-a-1_1697658960399.jpg\" height=\"916\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Cream of the crop: Kate in Sezane<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/10\/18\/20\/76723751-12646099-image-a-2_1697658967934.jpg\" height=\"951\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Top tweed: Lily James\u2019s modern take on the look<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/10\/18\/20\/76723747-12646099-image-a-3_1697658971933.jpg\" height=\"978\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Poised in pink: Alexa Chung wears Chanel<\/p>\n<p>The mood has shifted away from puffas and parkas to smart coats worn long and belted with polished boots.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Instead of leggings and track pants, the look is tailored wide-leg trousers with a crisp shirt and a blazer. Instead of sloppy, scuffed jeans, we\u2019re wearing a smart, starched pair with tweedy cropped jackets.<\/p>\n<p>The breezy midi is banished for now. The idea is to look put-together, glossy and grown-up \u2014 the opposite of floaty and boho pretty.<\/p>\n<p>Flat pumps, pleated skirts and cardigans are back, thanks to Miu Miu\u2019s autumn\/winter collection. Max Mara\u2019s buttery caramel coats, too, are having a renaissance. Chanel-style tweed jackets with gilt buttons are everywhere.<\/p>\n<p>And single pearls \u2014 dangling from gold hoop earrings or on a chunky chain necklace \u2014 are the ultimate finishing touch.<\/p>\n<p>Women have discovered there\u2019s nothing quite like the lustre of a single pearl for lighting up your face and making simple, minimalist clothes look warmer and more luxurious.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Now everyone from &amp; Other Stories to Monica Vinader has them in several sizes (if in doubt, go big).<\/p>\n<p>The new twinset and pearls look is picking up where Grace Kelly and Audrey Hepburn left off.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\"

to worry about the cleaning bills or go out much in the dirty world\u2019.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>So, although Kate\u2019s twinset is mid-market in price (the gold and pearl earrings cost almost as much at \u00a3225), the off-white colour puts it in the stealth-wealth bracket because of its impracticality (and because you require a personal trainer and five-star underwear to carry off something this light and clingy).\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re thinking of following Kate\u2019s lead, but are unsure whether you can foot the dry cleaning bills then the answer is simply double up with co-ords in
