Pictured here at Cheltenham Racecourse in Gloucestershire in 2007, the soon-to-be royal embodied autumnal British style in an olive jacket and simple button-down.

While the sunglasses are very reminiscent of 2000s fashion, this look could easily be recreated today.

Plaid is basically synonymous with fall fashion, and this dress-and-jacket combination is no exception.
