Kate Middleton stepped out in Pretty Ballerina loafers with her husband, Prince William, on Thursday, while visiting the Natural History Museum in London. The royal, who debuted a blond hair color with her look, maintained her classic style, pairing a cognac pair of the brand’s pointed-toe loafers with a Ralph Lauren blazer and black cropped dress pants.
Middleton’s latest footwear moment marks the arrival of the fall footwear season. Suede flats and loafers are a popular choice for keeping the feet cozy during the chillier months, providing an alternative to sandals and open-toe shoes that carry women through the summer, while serving as an in-between shoe pick before the winter boot season kicks in.

Her loafer featured a fringe detail and a metal buckle on the upper. The shoes are similar to Pretty Ballerinas’ Ella loafers and are made from soft, tan suede with tassels, a rubber sole, a leather insole and a textile lining. A kiltie fringed flap is attached to the front of the shoe, and at the top of it sits a silver rectangle buckle.
