Kate Middleton Wore a $50 Pair of Black Zara Work Pants That Are Still Available to Buy
Kate Middleton wore an affordable pair of Zara work pants to an event this week and they're still available to buy.

- During a surprise appearance at the Sunshine House Children and Young People's Health and Development Center earlier this week, Kate Middleton wore a perfect work wear ensemble.
- The Duchess of Cambridge's look included a polka-dot Equipment silk shirt, suede Gianvito Rossi pumps, and a pair of wide legged pants from Zara.
- Kate's Zara pants retail for $50 and are still available to purchase.
If you worked with Kate Middleton, she would be the best-dressed woman in your office.
Proof: The absolutely perfect work wear ensemble the Duchess of Cambridge wore this week.
On Wednesday, Kate stepped out for a surprise appearance at the Sunshine House Children and Young People's Health and Development Center in a business casual appropriate outfit that you'll want to own yourself.
Here's the bad news: Most of Kate's look was, somewhat predictably, not the most affordable for the non-royals among us. Her polka-dot Equipment silk shirt retails for $280 at Bloomingdale's and copying her suede, block heel Gianvito Rossi pumps (which appear to be the brand's Piper style) will set you back $695.
She does look like a million bucks—which makes the actual price of the two pieces (roughly $975, combined) seem like a bargain.
Here's the good news though: The wide-leg, culotte-style pants Kate wore to the event are from Zara and retail for a totally affordable $50.
And, if you're looking to splash out on the pricier pieces from the look, you can shop them below:
