Can’t decide if you should wear red to work on Valentine’s Day? Draw your business-casual Valentine’s inspiration from none other than the Duchess of Cambridge, who stepped out in a double-breasted red jacket over a black turtleneck on the 14th. If Kate Middleton worked red into her outfit today, you can too.

Dressing very appropriately for Valentine's Day, Kate wore a red jacket by Philosophy di Lorenzo Serafini for today's visit to the RAF Air Cadets. Italian designer Lorenzo Serafini is renowned for his feminine and flattering tailored designs. The 'Twill Double-Breasted Jacket' is a wool/rayon blend from the Resort 17 collection. The piece is said to be "inspired by the work of French designer Jean Bouquin who is famed for dressing the St Tropez jetset in the '60s and style icon Brigitte Bardot." The jacket features peak lapels, darting at the front, patch side pockets, four buttons at cuffs, a center-seam vent at the back and brasstone shank buttons. It's available at Barneys and Farfetch for $1,515 or for £760 at Net-a-Porter. Kate also brought back her Stuart Weitzman 'Half n Half' stretch rider boots. The black suede, low block heel boots are available for £395/$493 at Russell & Bromley in all sizes. Kate wore what look to be her Zara jeans, her black turtleneck and her black gloves that remain a mystery. She finished off the look with her £2,200 Kiki McDonough 'Lauren Yellow Gold Pave Diamond Leaf Earrings' that have sold out – another nice little touch for Valentine's Day.

On her third visit to the RAF Air Force Cadets, Middleton got festive in the $1,515 Philosophy di Lorenzo Serafini jacket. In keeping with the theme of the day, the jacket is embossed with gold buttons and wide red lapels. She coordinated her black turtleneck, black gloves, and black Zara jeans. She finished the outfit with the Stuart Weitzman “Half n Half” stretch rider boots that have become synonymous with her polished look.

According to a fan site, this isn’t the first time Middleton has stepped out in Philosophy. She chose a white baby doll jacket and skirt for an official portrait last year. Do we spy a new favorite for the Duchess?

Middleton has been known to make festive plans on Valentine’s Day in the past. In 2012, she visited Liverpool Children’s Hospital to make Valentine’s cards with the children.

The one sad side effect of a V-Day on duty? According to Vogue, Middleton most likely won’t be meeting Prince William in time for a romantic celebration. Middleton has been spending more time with the Cadets since she became the Royal Patron and Honorary Air Commandant of the Air Cadet Organisation. The base is an hour and a half away from Kensington Palace, which means she probably won’t be spending much time with family today. But we sympathize — sometimes you just have to work through a date.
