Kate Middleton touched down in the United States for the first time since 2014 last week, and to no one's surprise, she's dressing to impress everywhere she goes.
From burgundy pantsuits to glowing green gowns, the Princess of Wales' outfits have been turning heads around Boston over the past few days. But one ensemble was especially festive: On Wednesday, Middleton visited the city's mayor with Prince William in a green, navy, red, and white tartan midi dress from Burberry, which she paired with green suede pumps.

Princess Kate has a thing for tartan: She's been spotted wearing the eye-catching print on everything from skirts to coats to scarves over the years. In 2019, she even rewore a particularly memorable Alexander McQueen tartan coat that we first saw back in 2012. And in 2018, her sister-in-law Meghan Markle donned a similar navy and green tartan jacket while visiting Scotland, where the pattern originates.
Clearly, you're in good company if you jump on the tartan train, and now's the time to do so. No matter what color combination you choose — red, green, navy, or black — tartan clothing is cheery for the holiday season.

This red, green, and blue puff-sleeve midi, on the other hand, features longer sleeves and a feminine bow around the waist.
