When it comes to her wardrobe, Kate Middleton has never been afraid to rewear her favorite pieces.

At the Back to Nature Festival in Woking, U.K. today, the 37-year-old royal sported a floral dress from Emilia Wickstead. The dress is cotton-blend seersucker, with a belted waist and long sleeves. It’s available to shop on Net-a-Porter.com for $2,255.

For shoes, the Duchess of Cambridge opted for a style that’s been in her wardrobe for years: taupe suede wedges from Monsoon. The wedges initially sold for $79 — making them a more affordable wardrobe staple than some of Middleton’s other favorites, from brands like Gianvito Rossi and Jimmy Choo.

Middleton has worn the Monsoon wedges multiple times since 2016, including on a trip to India and Bhutan in April of that year. She paired the shoes with a printed silk dress by Anita Dongre while on a cricket field in South Mumbai.
