Kate first wore the £160 skirt and £335 jacket on a visit to St Andrews in 2011, and has since stepped out in the sophisticated suit during her royal tour of New Zealand in 2014 and to attend a ceremony where she became the Honorary Air Commandant of the RAF Air Cadets in December 2015.

The 35-year-old appeared in high spirits as she joined her husband Prince William at Mitchell Brook Primary School in North West London on Monday to mark the start of Children's Mental Health Week.
