Kate Middleton stepped out in style for her first royal engagement after giving birth to her third child — in a trusty pair of 14-year-old riding boots.

On Tuesday, the Duchess of Cambridge arrived at the Sayers Croft Forest School and Wildlife Garden in west London looking chic and casual in an olive green sweater with matching jacket, light brown skinny jeans, and her go-to Penelope Chilvers Long Tassel Boots, which retail for $617.

“It’s great to see the Duchess wearing the first boots we made for her in 2004 – 10 years on,” Chilvers told the outlet in 2016 of her famous fan. “The boots only get better with age. She looks fabulous in them.”
