Kate, the Princess of Wales, showcased a look in Scotland his week that is inspiring our fall fashion wardrobes.

On Thursday, while on a royal visit to the Isle of Bute in Scotland, Kate donned a chic chocolate brown trench coat, layered over a green turtleneck sweater and paired with a green tweed newsboy cap.

If you needed a reason to bring back your skinny jeans, consider this: Kate wore brown skinny pants tucked into brown boots with a chunky sole.

The look married form and function, pairing style with practicality for walking through fields and playing shinty, a traditional Scottish sport.

In fall, chocolate brown often trends in fashion as shoppers search for new pieces to add to their wardrobes.
