When Kate Middleton rewore her olive green Victoria Beckham trouser suit earlier this month, she was using her wardrobe to signal the importance of two things close to her heart: British fashion and sustainability in fashion.

While the look (which Kate previously wore in May for the presentation of the Queen Elizabeth II Award for British Design ) may have also been signaling support for Victoria Beckham herself, whose fashion brand is covered in her new Netflix documentary , no detail in the Princess of Wales’s wardrobe is coincidental. Kate’s affinity for pantsuits in recent months is significant, according to fashion insiders.
