Once again, Kate Middleton looked great in pink!

On January 26, the Prince and Princess of Wales stopped by Windsor Foodshare for a day full of community. Instead of dressing in her typical winter uniform – a neutral dress with a high collar – she surprised us all. Kate chose a hot pink turtleneck sweater and a matching pink coat.

She styled her jacket and shirt, which were a bit redder than the typical Barbiecore shade, with a pair of black pants, some coordinating heels and a pair of gold earrings.

Barbiecore pink has been a well-received color among A-listers lately, and now the princess too. (Although this isn’t the first time Kate has worn pink.) In December, Gwyneth Paltrow wore a V-neck sweater in a brilliant shade, and Selena Gomez wore an off-the-shoulder sweater in Valentino pink. And now the stars even branch out into a lighter pink. Jennifer Lopez recently wore a bubblegum-colored dress while promoting her new movie A shotgun wedding.

The art of layering can be tricky. If you have too many layers, you may overheat; but if you have too few layers, you can be very cold. Skip the whole dilemma and opt for this high collar sleeveless sweater that will keep you at optimum temperature.

It’s “perfect for under blazers,” said one shopper, but many also wear it on its own or under jackets because it’s less bulky. For just under $24, there are 44 colors and styles available, and some even have half sleeves.
