The Duchess of Cambridge took Prince George to his first polo match to cheer on his daddy at a Father's Day polo match in Gloucestershire. The young royal family were at Cirencester Park Polo Club where Prince William and Prince Harry competed in opposing teams in the annual Jerudong Trophy Polo Match. The charity match raises money for William's patronage Centrepoint. Kate wore a casual outfit, consisting of some familiar pieces. She wore her ME+EM Breton stipe top currently in stock for £48. On her feet were the Sebago 'Bala' deck shoes in taupe/white, in stock for US$95. She wore her Givenchy 'Obsedia' sunglasses (in stock). She kept her jewellery to a minimum, only wearing her wedding rings and Ballon Bleu de Cartier Stainless Steel Bracelet Watch (in stock). The brand and style of her skinny jeans are still unknown. A follower on What Kate Wore suggested that they may be GAP jeans based on the label stitching on the back on the jeans. I have checked my GAP jeans and they do indeed feature this stitching. The shade that Kate is wearing does not appear in the current GAP collection of jean leggings. I did a search for previous season shades and came across this style in 'vintage loren' from Gap EU. They are premium stretch denim with a vintage wash. They feature tradition five-pocket styling, button closure and zip fly. I'm waiting on confirmation from other 'Kate' bloggers before I can say for certain that these are the jeans. SHOP KATE'S POLO MATCH STYLE FOR LESS ... For the first time since the tour began, the sun came out to greet the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge as they disembarked from the grey Royal New Zealand Air Force plane at Whenuapai Air Base near Auckland. Their first stop was a meet & greet with Royal New Zealand Air Force families at the military base. Kate wore a nautical inspired outfit, and added a touch of military chic with a new Zara navy blazer. The double-breasted jacket with goldtone buttons is from the current Zara collection and retails for US$139. Under the blazer, she wore a new Breton top from London based label ME+EM. The top features cobalt blue and white stripes, a scoop neckline, ¾ length sleeves and ruched detailing to the bottom hem. It retails for £48. Her ensemble included some familiar pieces; the Zara skinny jeans and Stuart Weitzman Corkswoon wedges in navy suede. Kate wore her Kiki Grace earrings and Cartier Ballon Bleu watch. Shortly after, William & Kate made their way to Waitemata Harbour where they raced each other in Emirates Team New Zealand America's Cup yachts. Kate made a quick wardrobe change, exchanging the Zara blazer for a sailing jacket, and her 5" wedges for her comfy Sebago 'Bala' deck shoes. The sailing jackets worn by the Duke & Duchess are by Musto. It is the BR1 Channel jacket described by the manufacturer as "ideal for coastal sailors who want a high level of protection from the elements but are conscious of weight and bulk of the garment." The company was established by Keith Musto, a British Olympic sailor, and in 2010 the company was granted two Royal Warrants from The Queen and The Duke of Edinburg. There was some healthy rivalry between the royal couple, but the Duchess triumphed! I initially thought Kate wore a classic pair of Ray-Ban Wayfarers in tortious, however some astute observers on WhatKateWore, noted they could be the foldable Ray-Ban Wayfarers. The eagle-eyes of Trisha Snyder spotted this photo of Kate wearing a braided brown belt. One possibility is the Mulberry Unisex Plaited belt. To wrap up their fifth day, the royal couple had an impromptu meet and greet with crowds after travelling on a Sealegs craft, an amphibious boat, to Westpark Marina in Auckland.

Ralph Lauren 'Tori' Top Sold out - the Ralph Lauren Blue Label 'Tori' cotton jersey navy/cream stripe top is from their 2012 collection. The top was identified by Michelle Forest. Shop repliKate styles. Topshop Maternity MOTO Black Leigh Jeans It was initially thought that Kate wore her Paige 'Skyline' jeans, but the current consensus is that Kate wore the Topshop Maternity MOTO Black Leigh jeans, which would be a more comfortable option given that it's only been 5 weeks since the birth of Prince George. Thanks to My Small Obsessions for the ID. Shop the Topshop MOTO denim collection ... Sebago 'Bala' Boat Shoes Kate completed her nautical ensemble with a comfy pair of taupe/white Sebago 'Bala' boat shoes.
