When we think of rugby, a few things come to mind. Namely sweat and mud – in fact – style and chic dressing is almost completely off the list.
However, when Princess Catherine is involved…

This week the ever stylish Princess Catherine attended Maidenhead Rugby Club in Maidenhead, England, to discuss her Shaping Us campaign regarding early childhood development.
Swapping her usual glamorous outfits for that of the sporty variety, Kate donned a pair of navy blue yoga pants paired with a bright blue t-shirt emblazoned with the rose of England’s rugby logo – along with some comfortable looking white sneakers.
We were so taken with Kate’s look we set out to find the flattering yoga pants seen on the Princess, as they’re perfect for the upcoming winter months.
Luckily, we’ve found an almost identical pair from the original brand Sweaty Betty (a favourite of Kate’s, she has been seen sporting several of their pieces) that are available to shop right now.

Princess Catherine’s classic navy blue yoga pants from London-born activewear label Sweaty Betty, offer maximum movement and style combined. Although not the exact pair – the lightweight trousers pictured below are a close match.

These ultra-soft yoga pants allow you to move with ease thanks to the fitted cuffs and slightly relaxed fit that doesn’t restrict movement. They’re lightweight and the material is sweat-wicking, and most importantly – squat-proof.
Kate’s sleek white sneakers took a beating during her time spent on the rugby field, however we’re still coveting a pair of white running shoes to pair with our winter activewear wardrobe. Although the exact pair seen on Catherine is unavailable in Australia, we’ve found some close matches below. Pair them with some comfortable socks, like this luxurious Merino wool set from Paire, and you’ve got yourself a winning combo.
