Kate Middleton has arrived is set to arrive in Canada at 2 p.m., and those clenching their teeth in anticipation of what she might wear when she touches our nation’s capital’s soil should look no further. She’s representing the Great White North with local talent Smythe’s structured navy single-button blazer ($550 at Holt Renfrew) and, of course, carrying a bag by big Brit brand Mulberry ($1,433—we could buy almost three Smythe jackets for the price of her sensible-looking bag). But, seriously, we can’t wait to see her immerse herself in stereotypical Canadian fashion culture by bumming around in a pair of salt-and-pepper Roots sweatpants. We just hope this fashion parade doesn’t begin and end with Smythe.
