The Countess of Wessex is often giving us style inspiration, from her on-trend midi dresses to her chic winter coats, and her latest look is no exception.

Sophie visited Stepping Stones School in Surrey this week (5 October) in honour of World Teacher's Day to celebrate with the staff and pupils there.

For the occasion, the royal wore a striking blue patterned shirt with a smart navy blazer and an autumnal, tan suede-style midi skirt.

In pictures posted to the Royal Family Twitter account, Sophie can be seen full of smiles as she joined the children for learning time in the school's forest and chatted with staff in a hall full of art.

Alongside the pictures, the Royal Family revealed that Sophie spoke with students about what makes their teachers so special and thanked staff at the school for their hard work. Sophie also learned about the safety measures the school put in place to allow it to reopen for the new school year after the UK lockdown.
