As Kate Middleton Flies The Flag For Zara Dresses, These Are Our Favourite Styles For Autumn

Kate Middleton might have a wardrobe of designer dresses at her disposal, but sometimes, only a high street hit will do. For yesterday's appearance at UCL, Middleton arrived wearing a black-and-white midi dress from Zara. And while the exact style is sadly sold out, there are plenty more options to satisfy your autumn dress craving.

Middleton's dress was the perfect choice; it a) had long sleeves and b) hit that sweet spot just below the knee and above the mid-calf. Paired with some pointed court heels - hers were a grey style from Hugo Boss - it was a ready-for-business combination. Other styles worth considering are the brand's ruby red knit dress, which comes with pleasingly gathered shoulders, for £59.99. You could dress this black-and-white, blossom-printed dress, yours for £49.99, up or down with kitten heel pumps or flat ankle boots, while this mustard number, with the same pussy-bow tie as Middleton's, feels rather appropriate for autumn.
