The four-year-old who will one day rule the United Kingdom, if “rule” is a synonym for morosely cutting ribbons at important ceremonies, attended his first day of school today! In classic form, he also showed up wearing the absolutely ideal fall look not just for other four-year-olds, but for all adults everywhere.

Yes, it is officially Fashion Month, with shows in New York kicking off today and those in London, Milan, and Paris to follow thereafter. But unfortunately, all remaining outfits are canceled for the rest of the season because Prince George already wore the best one.

At first glance, it may seem like a standard British children’s school uniform:

But take a closer look, and you’ll see this is actually the only autumn fashion inspiration you, a non-royal, non-four-year-old, likely non-British grown-up, need. For instance, this sweater could absolutely pass as a decent Gucci knockoff:

And this collar totally just got accepted into Harvard on a crew scholarship:

These shorts are the ideal color and stiffness for such fall activities as haunted hayrides or accidentally spilling a bunch of cider all over your pants:

While these loafers will make for TOP-NOTCH leaf crunches:

And finally, the best fall accessory of all: perfectly tousled side-swept hair and an expression that says, “DON’T EVEN TRY TO TALK TO ME UNLESS ITS ABOUT HOT DRINKS WITH A SHITLOAD OF CLOVES IN THEM.”

In conclusion, Fashion Month is canceled. Better luck in February!
