To start off her ensemble, Middleton opted for a classic white ribbed tank, which she layered underneath a salmon-colored blazer. To further dress down the classic outerwear piece, Middleton opted for trending straight-leg jeans.

This year, skinny jeans are taking a back seat with more loose-fitting silhouettes emerging as the “it” jean. The revival of the style comes as shoppers are leaning on more relaxed and effortless looks as a result of loungewear trending big during the pandemic.

To finalize her outfit, Middleton opted for a pair of classic low-top sneakers. Coming from Veja, the shoes featured white uppers, a rubber outsole and the label’s logo covered in a metallic rose gold hue. Veja sneakers are a big hit among celebs. In addition to Middleton, stars including: Meghan Markle, Katie Holmes, Emily Ratajkowski and more are big fans of the brand — which offer a plethora of styles with a good portion retailing for under $200.

Middleton’s look is a perfect styling lesson on how to dress down a blazer. Once thought of as a business professional look, blazers have become more of a lifestyle look and it all comes down to pairing. Dressing down a blazer with sneakers and jeans make the outfit combo not only ideal for work, but also lunch or after work happy hours.
