Prince William looked great (even in his less-than-dapper footwear) during a visit to Dartmoor National Park on Thursday afternoon.
During the occasion, the royal was captured by cameras in a series of striking images that caught my attention (all seen below, in addition to one showing off the aforementioned footwear). For his outing, William was wearing a striking brown coat from Baleno Country, which featured a detachable hood, multiple pockets and adjustable cuffs.
The brand describes this coat as being suitable for a variety of activities, including dog walking and horse riding, making it an appropriate choice for the outing. He paired the coat with a pair of dark wash athletic jeans and a grey felted wool cap, but it was his goofy rain boots that really stole the show.
The boots, which appeared to be the Chasseur Neoprene Lined Wellington boots from Le Chameau, are equipped for rainy weather with a durable design in the front that protects against abrasion, alongside a waterproof zipper and a rubber strap. According to the brand, the insulated neoprene lining is complemented by a shock-absorbing all-terrain outsole that provides plenty of grip and traction.
As for his appearance at Dartmouth, it’s only the beginning of a 20-year restoration plan that, according to The Times, sets out a return to seasonal grazing patterns and heavily wooded river valleys to combat habitat loss and cope with increasingly dry summers and frost-free winters.
In his foreword for the Landscape Vision for Dartmoor, Prince William writes, “To keep Dartmoor special, we must respond to the twin challenges of global warming and the requirement to restore nature, while ensuring the communities on Dartmoor can thrive.”
Looking good and doing his part to protect the environment.
