Kate Middleton Steps Out in Stripes, and Now We Want These 13 Nautical Pieces

The Dutchess is back in action, y'all! On Friday, Kate Middleton made her first solo public appearance since popping a son out of her lady bits, and naturally she looked immaculate.

Her outfit was simple: a Ralph Lauren sweater with some jeans and a blazer. But the last time we saw Kate she was wearing a decadent sparkly dress, so we're stoked that she's wearing something mortals can actually emulate. Obviously, it's time to buy some stripes.
