Princess Eugenie proved that understated glamour can be just as impactful as head-to-toe sparkle during her recent visit to Springfield University Hospital Mental Health Unit. The royal opted for a sleek khaki green satin skirt from Ralph Lauren that’s perfect for autumn.

Falling just above the ankle, Eugenie’s khaki look is so on trend this season, and it’s so easy to dress up or down. While Eugenie’s exact skirt is no longer available, a longer version from the Ralph Lauren Collection in a darker racing-green hue is on sale for £2,000. However, for those looking to capture the same elegant silhouette for less, New Look has the perfect alternative for just £24.99.

The New Look midi skirt is a bias-cut design that creates a beautifully fluid shape, mimicking the same flattering drape as Eugenie’s. Made from lightweight recycled polyester, it comes in a range of colours – including seasonal hues like dark brown and burgundy  – and in sizes 6 to 18. Like Eugenie’s original, this is a versatile buy that can be paired with everything from slouchy knits to crisp shirts.  

The piece has been a hit with shoppers and one reviewer wrote: “Perfect autumnal satin skirt, green colour is lovely and the length and elasticated waist is comfy. It’s also not too shiny.” Another said that it was “very flattering shape”.

While most shoppers praised the fit, a couple did say for them it wasn’t quite right, including one who wrote that “the waist was a little too large”.
