Whether it's an elegant off-the-shoulder dress or a tried-and-true Longchamp tote bag, Kate Middleton is known for sticking to her go-to styles, and her recent look during a royal visit to the new Royal Liverpool University Hospital is no exception.
Walking beside Prince William, the Princess of Wales wore a wool tartan-style trench coat with a mid-length ribbed turtleneck dress — a style she tapped back in November while visiting the Colham Manor Children's Centre. (And onlookers even think the royal duo's outfits matched). But her recent turtleneck dress featured a key accessory that you probably have in your closet: a belt.

Although sweater dresses are practical this time of year, you don't have to stick to the style. This flowy option is more lightweight and breathable thanks to its polyester fabric — plus, it's perfectly elegant for any upcoming event or dinner you may have. The breezy dress still offers great coverage with a mid-length silhouette and mockneck neckline, and with a ruffle trim, belted waist, and a floral pattern, the $32 dress is a no-brainer to have in your closet.
