Kate Middleton Just Wore an Easy Shorts-and-Trainers Combo

Sure, Kate’s been known to sport a great dress, and understandably, we’re often inspired by these stylish choices, but her recent penchant for shorts is a new aesthetic for the duchess—one you could say feels comparatively “un-royal” when you consider her usual penchant for coat frocks. Regardless, Kate usually wears easy-to-replicate items that can be combined in various ways to create endless outfits. Take her latest look; the striped top is a wardrobe staple that often appears in our own capsule wardrobes and has a cool French-girl feel. The tailored shorts are the simplest way to keep cool and still look put together whilst summer days continue. For work, a sleek pair of mules will take these from day to office wear, but for downtime or running errands, a simple pair of trainers is the perfect finishing touch.
