The Duchess of Cambridge wore an oversized houndstooth jacket from Massimo Dutti (£249, buy now) for a visit to the University of Derby today.

While the mother-of-three usually opts for fitted jackets, today she rocked the slouchier shape which she paired with a grey cashmere jumper and a floral face mask.

For several of her last appearances as a senior royal, Kate's sister-in-law Meghan wore pieces from Massimo Dutti, which hits the sweet spot between high-end and high-street.

Massimo Dutti, which was founded in 1985, is owned by the Spanish group Inditex, which is also the parent company of Zara and Bershka.

The Duchess of Cambridge visited first-year students at the University to hear how the coronavirus pandemic has affected the start of their undergraduate life.

While Kate's funky tweed jacket will no doubt be a sell-out, here are some fabulous houndstooth alternatives.
