Kate Middleton-inspired New Look shorts which are now £19
Famously, Kate ditched denim shorts for chic chino shorts, which are both comfortable and stylish. We saw the future Queen wear a dusty green pair in The Bahamas during her and Prince William's Caribbean Tour, as they took part in a sailing regatta.
The shorts were clearly perfect for the practical activity, being lightweight and breathable, but also looked chic with their streamlined shape and high waist.
Kate also demonstrated how they can look smart by dressing them up with a sleek belt.
Thankfully, the royal-approved chino shorts trend doesn't have to break the bank.
There are plenty of options at New Look, including these blue tailored knee length shorts, which have a great price drop to £19.
They were priced at £27.99, making shoppers get a royal saving (sorry!).
Tailored for a clean, modern look, these light blue shorts add a touch of sophistication to any look.
Ideal for both workdays and brunch, their knee-length shape and soft pleats make them a smart wardrobe staple. There's no reviews for these smart summer shorts, yet, but the brand's reviews on Trustpilot include postive comments about the shop's items 'standing the test of time'. One happy shopper write: "I purchase clothes from all price levels and NL always surprise me with the quality and affordability. The sizing is always consistent and I make very few returns."
More negative takes on the brand criticised their customer services and returns processes are poor and lengthy.
If you don't fancy New Look, Marks and Spencer are selling the Crew Clothing cotton rich chino shorts for £39.
Another option from New Look is the apricot stone cargo Bermuda shorts for £35. These long shorts fit with Kate's Bermuda-vibe and are classy and come with pockets, too.
Also at New Look you can pick up the Quiz light yellow tailored shorts for £26.99.
These shorts are a pale yellow shade and have a stylish and sleek tailored fit.
Another option channeled by Kate during the summer months is the shorter chino-short look, get that on a budget with Asda's khaki casual chino shorts, which are £14.
Or Next is selling the Mountain Warehouse green bayside 100% cotton womens shorts for £30.

This Uniqlo Jacket Looks Like The Designer Style Fashion Editors Are Wearing
While other parts of Europe are experiencing a heatwave (places in Italy and Croatia have issued heat warnings, and Turkey has reportedly reached temperatures of 50 degrees), the UK is experiencing quite the opposite. It's a tale as old as time. European cities get to bask in the sunshine while the UK has to deal with downpour after downpour, and wet girl summer isn't quite as catchy. But, if you're determined to make it a great summer regardless of the weather, there's one item of clothing you need before heading out: Uniqlo's Windproof Blouson. In fact, Uniqlo's windproof blouson jacket might look somewhat familiar to you, particularly if you're a fan of The Row. Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen's brand might be officially the proud owner of the world's most in-demand flip flop, but it's also carved out a niche when it comes to luxurious and understated basics. Turns out, the brand's Kemetina Silk Raincoat, which retails for a cool £3,420, bears similarities to Uniqlo's affordable style, particularly when it comes to details like a stand-up collar, adjustable waist drawstrings and zipper closure. However, Uniqlo's iteration won't set you back a holiday to the Caribbean either, so that's a major win. Uniqlo, Windproof Blouson Uniqlo's Windproof Blouson is the latest item from the brand to go viral, and it's easy to see why. The design features a stand-up collar, as well as large pockets and a short length. Style with more feminine accessories, like ballet flats and a raffia tote bag. Alternatively, if you've been browsing Uniqlo's new-in section (I spend hours on there), you might've also spotted the Cotton Blend Short Parka, which looks very similar to the sell-out Windproof Blouson. The parka looks like a grown-up cousin of the original, and features a water-repellent finish, balloon sleeves and adjusters at the hem. The parka is also distinctly less weekend-dog-walk and more dinner-in-the-city, especially if you choose the beige colour, which would sit comfortably in any minimalist's capsule wardrobe. Uniqlo, Cotton Blend Short Parka Hoping to recreate the success of the Windproof Blouson, Uniqlo has released a very similar design, but this one features a more practical hood. The cotton-blend fabric will repel water, while the adjusters at the hem and balloon sleeves will keep your clothes underneath dry. The only issue with a windbreaker or raincoat is how to style it to not look like you're about to head to a National Trust site. With khakis and browns, lean into the jacket's soft tailoring with straight-leg jeans, a sheer knit and a pair of muted ballet flats. The khaki parka jacket is, of course, a staple of the early 2000s, Oasis fans and those tackling DofE for the first time, but styled in this way feels more, well, 2025. For the beige and cream iterations, layer the jacket over a lace-trimmed cami or dress (this Zara one is particularly great) and satin trousers for a softer look. Whether you look out your window in the morning to see grey skies or oddly sunny weather, Uniqlo's Cotton Blend Short Parka is the jacket you'll be glad you have on standby. It's also a jacket that manages to balance looking good and actually being practical, which can't always be said when it comes to fashion (Vibram's five-toe shoe, I'm looking at you). And, if the Windproof Blouson's success is anything to go by, the parka won't be hanging around for long either. Ultimately, I think there's a lesson here we could all probably learn from – even if the weather is unpredictable, your wardrobe shouldn't be. Lululemon, Insulated Oversized Collared Jacket Lululemon's Oversized Collared Jacket is less activewear and more everyday-wear, with its snap-closure hand pockets and zipped interior pockets to keep all your essentials safe. Plus, its cinchable hem and close-fitting cuffs mean you'll be protected from any unexpected showers. Moncler, Logo Hooded Jacket Price: £840 Trust Moncler to deliver a chic rainproof jacket. This hooded style features a shirt coller for a polioshed finish and is an easy layer to throw over practically any outfit. The Row, Kemetina Silk Raincoat Price: £3,420 Bag The Row's Kemetina Silk Raincoat while it's still in stock. It's likely this raincoat will sell out, if the website (which is now waitlist only) is anything to go by. The jacket itself features ribbed cuffs, interior drawstring and a handy hood. Rains, Suva Hardshell Short String W Jacket If you like the shorter style raincoat, rather than relying on a full-length style, Rains has a design that's perfect. Finished with two boxy front pockets, zip closure and hood, style with capri pants and ballet flats. H&M, Rain Jacket With StormMove Price: £72.25 (was £84.99) The high street is also packed full of raincoats, some of which are just as good as its higher-end counterparts. This one from H&M will protect you against both rain and wind thanks to its StormMove finish and hood with elasticated drawstring.

The hugely underrated foodie seaside town that is one of the best day trips from London
Everyone wants something different out of a day trip. There are the people that just want to lie horizontal on the beach for hours, the ones who want to stop by as many historic sites as possible, and the ones who will spend all their time collecting trinkets from indie shops and galleries. Then, there are the people that go to new places with just one thing on the agenda: good food. Of Time Out's 20 best places for a day trip from London in 2025, there's one place that stands out when it comes to outstanding bars and restaurants to rival those here in the capital. It's... Deal! And you can get there from St Pancras in just one hour and 20 minutes. In Time Out's guide to the town's best bits, travel writer and Deal local Kate Wicks said: 'Along the award-winning High Street, you'll find a wealth of independent shops, bars, and restaurants, but it's Deal's sedate (yet uplifting) atmosphere that remains its biggest draw. Ten miles from Dover, this is a town beside the sea, rather than a seaside town (for kiss-me-quick amusements, head to Margate): it's creative, classy and also happens to be one of the UK's top hidden foodie destinations.' Arrive hungry – Deal is full to the brim with exceptional grub. So much, in fact, that it's Time Out's favourite foodie getaway in the country. There's the classic fish 'n chips from Middle Street Fish Bar, the crab doughnuts at The Rose hotel, the French dishes at Cherub's, Japanese izakaya at The Blue Pelican, the organic wines at Le Pinardier wine bar, the swanky lunch at 81 Beach Street and the pig's head and haggis terrine at Frog & Scot. But there's only so much eating and drinking you can do. Kate also recommends wandering around the historic Deal Castle, filling your boots at Deal Town Market, seeing some art at Linden Hall Studio and spinning vinyl at Smuggler's Records. Make sure to go down to the seafront too, and look at for a grey seal or admire Deal's historic Victorian pier (which is getting a £1 million facelift next year).
