Cat Deeley's latest This Morning look is the perfect outfit for office dressing in warm weather, and her linen Bermuda shorts are currently on sale for less than £25 Cat Deeley's is back with another summer look, showing us how you can still look chic even in sweltering temperatures. The heatwave has disappeared for the time being, with temperatures looking to soar from next week, we need all the warm weather fashion inspiration we can get. The This Morning presenter has been absolutely nailing her fashion choices recently, showcasing a variety of striking outfits, from the sunny vibes of her butter yellow linen suit by Massimo Dutti to the figure-enhancing green maxi dress from French Connection, not to mention the party-ready mini dress from River Island. Her wardrobe strikes the perfect balance between accessible high-street pieces and timeless silhouettes that will never go out of style. And her look from yesterday is no exception. Sporting a linen waistcoat and Bermuda short set from Reserved, Cat's breezy look is ideal for summer office dressing. And the best part? Both pieces are currently in Reserved's summer sale and under £25 each. Originally priced at an affordable £32.99, the Creased linen-blend bermuda shorts are now £22.99, while the Vest with linen blend is also £22.99 down from £35.99. Linen is the perfect fabric to wear in the summer as it has natural breathability, as well as moisture-wicking properties to esnure you stay cool and dry all day long. We love the on-trend burgundy shade of Cat's set, not to mention the stylish and flattering Bermuda shorts. A style choice loved by Princess Diana and Meghan Markle, Bermuda shorts are a great way to tone make your tailoring work for the same, and feel a bit cooler and casual. The longer length helps to provide that extra coverage whilst keeping you looking stylish and sophisticated, especially when worn with a classic shirt or a matching waistcoat like Cat. If you're looking for some alternative Bermuda shorts, we love Nobody's Child deep chocolate brown pair, whcih are currently reduced from £65 to £33.

Linen shorts loved by Cat Deeley are 'super for hot weather'
The This Morning presenter styled the shorts with a matching burgundy waistcoat for a breezy summer look Waistcoats and linen are a match made in heaven when it comes to warm-weather styling, and Cat Deeley has just proved why with an affordable co-ord from the high street. The This Morning presenter stepped out in a breezy linen-blend shorts and waistcoat set on Wednesday's show - and it costs less than £50. Styled by Rachael Hughes, Cat's ensemble perfectly balanced relaxed tailoring with summer-friendly ease, making it the ideal outfit to wear to the office in a heatwave. Her waistcoat, priced at £22.99 down from £35.99, is made from 70% cotton and 30% linen, making it a breathable and cool piece when temperatures soar. The burgundy top features classic lapels and a button fastening, but usually comes with a daring low V neckline. Cat often likes to put her personal stamp on outfits, and to make this one more daytime TV-friendly, her version appears to have been tailored, moving the button over to create a slightly more asymmetric neckline for added chest coverage. Offering a more modest design is this Burgundy Longline Waistcoat at Nobody's Child. It's currently in the sale for £67.15 down from £79, however, it does have 20 buttons to close down the front, which may prove tedious for some. Alternatively, for £32, shoppers may enjoy the Friends Like These Burgundy Statement Button Waistcoat at Next. Designed in a heavy compact knit, it's a dreamy design but might not be quite as well suited to the warmer weather. The 48-year-old teamed her waistcoat with the matching pair of creased linen-blend Bermuda shorts. Originally £32.99, they're also reduced to £22.99, meaning you could get the entire look for £45.98. The shorts feature neat pleats for a smart feel, practical side pockets and a zip-and-button fastening. Crafted from the same airy fabric, they're light and airy, making them a true summer staple that can be reworn on holiday with a vest top and straw hat, too. On the Reserved website, one shopper wrote: ' Super for hot weather, thin airy material, standard size.' Another wrote: 'Airy, mega and super fit the body over time.' One was miffed at the sizing, commenting: 'Very nice shorts with a good composition, carefully sewn, the downside is the size - M too small, L too big.' A fourth wrote: 'Super, very nice cut and material.' Another high-street brand Cat has been spotted wearing is Boden, most recently its Evia Ruffle Swimsuit in classic black, at £85. The piece is popular for its 'flattering' fit, with lightly padded cups and slimming fabric. It's available in sizes 6-20, with both regular and long lengths available, catering to everyone. Cat Deeley can't get enough of halter necks, either, it seems, having worn one on at least seven occasions on This Morning in June alone. One of those was the Silk Satin Halterneck Top + Tie from popular British brand ME + EM, paired with a Flared Cotton Skirt from Mango, though the latter has since sold out. The top comes in at £195 and is available in five colours, from Iris and Topaz Blue, to Cat's preferred light cream. But for anyone looking to channel Cat's laid-back chic, this co-ord is affordable, polished and still cool enough to wear when temperatures rise. Shop it on the Reserved website here.

Forestry DG: Permanent Reserved Forests in Peninsular Malaysia stable, slight growth since 2000
KOTA BARU: The total area of Permanent Reserved Forests (PRF) in Peninsular Malaysia has remained consistent and has even recorded a slight increase since 2000. Peninsular Malaysia Forestry Department director-general Datuk Zahari Ibrahim said while some PFR areas have been degazetted over the years to accommodate national development, the reduction was not significant. "Some areas of PFR in the country have experienced a reduction in size due to degazettement for purposes other than forestry. "However, in general, the size of PFR in Peninsular Malaysia has remained consistent and is increasing. "Some reduction has occurred due to degazettement for non-forestry purposes in line with national development. "These reductions are usually compensated with equivalent or larger replacements by state authorities, in line with Sections 11, 12, and 13 of the National Forestry Act 1984," he said. As of 2023, Zahari said the total area of PFR stood at 4,854,658.03 hectares, while non-PFR forest area covered 888,888.08 hectares, based on data from the Peninsular Malaysia Forestry Department. "Compared with 2022, there was an increase of 2,638.54 hectares in PFR area in 2023," Zahari said. He stressed that illegal logging or uncontrolled tree felling are not major contributors to PFR changes, and that forest governance continues to be managed according to established laws and frameworks. On May 28, it was reported that the shrinking of wildlife habitats is a major contributor to the rising number of human-wildlife conflicts in the Gua Musang district, with several incidents causing injuries among villagers. Galas assemblyman Mohd Syahbuddin Hashim said the issue, especially in Orang Asli settlements in the interior, had become increasingly worrying. He said one of the main causes was uncontrolled logging and agricultural activities that encroach on forest areas. He added that the conflict involved not just elephants entering villages, but also tigers attacking livestock and bears roaming through settlements. "We need a serious investigation into the root cause. However, it cannot be denied that unregulated logging and encroachment into wildlife habitats are major factors. "When the forests where these animals live continue to shrink, they have no choice but to enter human settlements in search of food and shelter," he said. Syahbuddin called on authorities to review the issuance of logging permits and establish buffer zones to protect villages from wildlife intrusion.

Reserved parent company LPP starts new financial year with strong growth
Polish apparel group LPP SA achieved strong revenue and profit growth in the first quarter of its 2025/26 financial year. This was revealed in an interim report published on Thursday by the parent company of the Sinsay, Reserved, Cropp, House and Mohito brands (LPP). However, due to developments in recent weeks, management lowered its revenue forecast for the full year. In the first quarter, which ended on April 30, consolidated revenue amounted to 4.95 billion złoty (986.6 billion pounds). This exceeded the level of the same period last year by 15 percent. The group owed its strong growth not least to above-average increases in its two main brands: Sinsay's revenue rose by 30.8 percent to 2.75 billion złoty; Reserved achieved an increase of 22 percent to 1.39 billion złoty. Management lowers revenue forecast for current year Operating profit reached 464 million złoty, which represented an increase of 12.9 percent compared to the same quarter last year. Net profit attributable to shareholders grew by 21 percent to 334 million złoty. However, management lowered its revenue forecast for the current financial year, which had previously been between 23 and 24 billion złoty, to between 23 and 24 billion złoty. The decision was justified by business developments in the first few weeks of the second quarter. "Exceptionally low temperatures" in Poland and the rest of Europe had dampened demand for the SS22 collections, the company explained. This article was translated to English using an AI tool.

Reserved and Sinsay owner's Q1 profit rises 20%, beats forecast
Poland's biggest fashion retailer LPP on Thursday reported a 20% year-on-year rise in its first-quarter net profit, boosted by higher sales and favourable exchange rate movements. Net profit at the owner of Reserved and Sinsay came in at 334 million zlotys ($90.49 million), versus analyst forecasts of 246 million zlotys. Operating profit for the quarter increased by almost 13% year-on-year to 464 million zlotys, while gross margin rose to 54.0%, up 1.9 percentage points from the previous year. As of April 30, LPP had 2,959 stores, 1,611 of which are Sinsay stores, its budget brand which aims to compete with fast fashion retailers like Inditex 's Bershka. In 2025, the company plans to expand its retail space by about 25-30%, focusing mainly on the development of Sinsay brand, aiming for around 1,100 stores. The Gdansk-based retailer, whose stores are mainly located in Central Europe, now forecasts revenues of approximately 23-24 billion zlotys for the 2025 financial year, anticipating growth in traditional retail through increased store space and positive like-for-like sales, as well as continued expansion in its online channel. Under its three-year strategy announced in April, LPP aims to double its annual revenue to 40 billion zlotys by 2027, with Sinsay set to account for 75% of the group's total sales. The company also plans to expand its store network to around 7,500 outlets by the end of 2027. © Thomson Reuters 2025 All rights reserved.
