So chic.
The Duchess of Cambridge returned to her royal duties on Sunday and made sure to do so in style. Kate Middleton was seen in Plymouth, visiting the 1851 Trust and the Great Britain SailGP team.
Just when we thought her summer wardrobe couldn’t get any better, the Duchess stepped out in a pair of sleek white linen shorts from one of her favorite fashion brands, Holland Cooper.

Kate paired the tailored shorts with a striped cashmere sweater from Erdem, white sneakers from Superga, and gold hoop earrings from Orelia London, adding a touch of glamor to the ensemble.

As beautiful as her outfit was, the duchess quickly changed into something a little more casual. Kate is a huge fan of sailing and she could be seen sporting a black wetsuit later that day as she took part in a boat race with the GB SailGP team.
While we won’t be wearing a wetsuit anytime soon, we’ll definitely be recreating the sophisticated shorts-and-sweater combo of royalty this summer.
We scoured our favorite stores and found some affordable alternatives. Keep scrolling and get ready to shop…
