With the UK on lockdown, most of us are donning our comfiest loungewear to work from home. Craving a sense of normality? Perhaps it's time to put an end to that ten-day pyjama streak and put on a pair of jeans, gym leggings or some comfy-but-casual trousers. Sometimes a change of outfit can have you feeling refreshed and ready to take on the day.

When it comes to keeping things casual, the Duchess of Cambridge certainly knows a thing or two about wearing fashionable yet functional clothing. Providing some major style inspiration during self-isolation, we've rounded up Kate's best casual looks.

So, grab a cuppa, make yourself comfortable and check out this stylish royal's everyday outfits...

Nailing her daywear look, Kate wore this nautical-inspired outfit in June 2017 during a visit to the 1851 Trust roadshow at the Docklands Sailing and Watersports Centre in London. Modelling a pair of navy cropped J Crew trousers, a white top, a tailored blazer from Zara and a pair of tweed loafers to match - this outfit is perfect for anyone booked up with team meetings on Zoom.

Relaxing with her family in pictures shared on Mother's Day, the Duchess looked effortlessly cool in this khaki round-neck jumper from Swedish brand, Fjallraven. We can see the Duchess donning her favourite cosy knit in the coming months to work from home.

Heading to the Natural History Museum in October 2019, Kate stepped out in these gorgeous green trousers from high street store, Jigsaw. Cutting a relaxed figure in the waist-cinching pair, the mum-of-three teamed her flowy wide-leg trousers with a burgundy top from Warehouse.

Kate showed off her sporty side during her three-day tour of Ireland with Prince William - while playing football at the Gaelic Athletic Association. Looking radiant as ever, she opted for a casual ensemble that consisted of black skinny jeans, a deep orange-red jumper and a pair of black New Balance x Sweaty Betty trainers.

On hand for a visit to the Teagasc Animal & Grassland Research Centre at Grange in County Meath, Kate wrapped up warm in a belted green wax Dubarry 'Friel' Olive utility jacket. Underneath, she wore an Alexa Chung x Barbour 'Bella' check blouse, high-waisted jeans from Zara and her trusty brown boots by Penelope Chilvers.

Casual and comfortable in maternity-wear, Kate made an appearance at The Lawn Tennis Association while pregnant with Prince Louis in 2017. Ditching her formal attire, Kate smiled from ear-to-ear as she dressed her baby bump in a black zip-up jacket and a pair of tracksuit bottoms from Monreal London.

Hosting a special Heads Together reception for London Marathon runners at Kensington Palace in 2017, the stylish royal dressed down in a striped jumper by Luisa Spagnoli and white Superga trainers, which she teamed with her beloved skinny jeans.

In a Nike top, Asics sneakers and Monreal London trousers, Kate certainly brought her style A-game to this tennis workshop in Edinburgh, Scotland.

While on a safari tour of Kaziranga National Park, the Duchess of Cambridge dressed to impress in a pair of green skinny jeans from Zara, her trusty Sebago shoes and a white polka dot blouse - gorgeous!

Kate looked absolutely stunning when she paid a visit to Canada's Carcross and Montana Mountain in a powder blue cardigan by Sentaler - which she paired with blue skinny jeans, brown suede cowboy boots and earrings by Yukon designer Shelley Macdonald.

In October 2017 Kate headed out on a fishing trip in Haida Gwaii, Canada, wearing a red cable knit jumper from the brand Really Wild.
