Duchess Sophie stepped out for a solo outing on Wednesday, rolling her sleeves up for a day at the farm. 

Prince Edward's wife, 59, was seen recycling her super-structured navy wool coat from Bally. The garment featured a cinched waistline, thanks to a buckle-adorned tie belt, as well as buttoned epaulets to match the gold buttoned pockets.

The outing comes just 10 days after the Duchess' uber chic moment in icy blue at the Changing of the Guard at Buckingham Palace which commemorated the 120th anniversary of the Entente Cordiale - the diplomatic agreement between Britain and France which laid the groundwork for historic Anglo-French relations.

The royal has made wearing a fabulous coat a habit of late. She was seen entering St George's Chapel on the grounds of Windsor Castle with her husband and her 16-year-old son James, Earl of Wessex on Easter Sunday earlier this month looking gorgeous in purple.
