As far as items in your closet that go the distance and feel classic enough to reach for season after season, a cropped blazer is it. But there’s something special about the $70 Zara style Princess Beatrice wore as she phone banked during the BGC Group Charity Day on behalf of the Cantor Fitzgerald Relief Fund, which every year raises millions in memory of those lost on September 11 and the devastating attacks on the World Trade Center.

First, it’s classic—something you can throw on and go with a dress, jeans, even a midi skirt. In Beatrice’s case, she opted to pair it with a polka dot shirtdress, which gave her entire ensemble professionalism and polish. Second, it’s affordable. For just $70, it will work with numerous pieces already in your closet. That versatility—and, frankly, the three different color options it comes in (black, ecru and light khaki)—turn it into an instant staple. The pockets and the pretty button detailing only add to the blazer’s uniqueness.

Now, the good news: It’s still fully in stock in all colors, so snag it while you can. (Beatrice, as you can see, opted to wear it in black.)

As for Beatrice’s day spent volunteering for the BGC Group Charity Day, she wasn’t the only royal to cover the phones: Mike Tindall—Beatrice’s cousin Zara Tindall’s husband—was also there to support.

The cause, in honor of the countless lives lost on 9/11, is of course an emotional one. Speaking about her participation, Beatrice said, “I am thrilled to be here today celebrating the incredible work that charities do on a daily basis. The 30 charities represented here support a wide range of important causes, from children in care to those in medical need and have a positive impact on many different parts of the community. I am so pleased to be part of Charity Day and support these grass roots organizations.”
