To complete his look, he opted for a pair of black slim-fit jeans and sported a pair of beige trainers.
Petra’s outing comes after she discussed her skin cancer scare in September earlier this year.
The socialite took to her Instagram page at the time to reassure fans about her recovery, thanking them for the overwhelming support.
Recording herself as she gave a surgery update, while still wearing bandages on her head, she said: ‘Good morning guys, so I got loads of messages.’
‘I guess it was an alarming site my head being bandaged.’
‘I just posted it because I really want people to be careful about going in the sun and having the right protection.’
Petra tried to raise awareness as she continued to talk about her own experience, revealing she didn’t use to care about protecting her own skin.
Captioning her latest clip, she penned: ‘Thank you to everyone who reached out yesterday about my story.’
Earlier that month, the heiress sparked concern with fans after she shared a selfie of herself with her head wrapped in a bandage.
The media star was makeup-free in the Instagram snap as she pouted down the lens while clad in her pyjamas.
Petra captioned the snap: ‘Guys keep away from the sun. I wish I knew more about it when I was younger and the dangers of it. Please wear SPF daily and a hat.’
The mother-of-four did not specify what had happened. MailOnline contacted Petra’s representatives for comment at the time.
One of the leading risks of not using SPF is overexposure to UV rays, which leads to early aging of the skin and damage that can cause skin cancer.
The NHS encourages everyone to use at least SPF 30 protection.
Regular users of sun cream with SPF 15 or higher can cut their risk of melanoma — the most deadly type of skin cancer — in half, studies have also suggested.
Around 15,000 Brits and 100,000 Americans are diagnosed with melanoma each year, the most common form of skin cancer.
Melanoma is often fast-growing and can quickly burrow through the skin and into the blood vessels beneath.
