The Princess of Wales’s\u00a0<\/a>summer wardrobe throughout the years is brimming with\u00a0classic styles<\/a> that wouldn’t look out of place today.<\/p>\n

Prince William’s wife i<\/a>s always clued up with what’s in fashion, but she makes sure she puts a timeless spin on each item.<\/p>\n

Bermuda shorts<\/a> are big news right now, and Kate wore her own take on the flattering shorts style back in 2022.<\/p>\n

What are Bermuda shorts?<\/p>\n

But before we start, what are Bermuda shorts?<\/p>\n

\"bermuda\u00a9 & Other StoriesBermuda shorts are slightly longer than regular styles<\/p>\n

\u00a0Slightly different from regular shorts, they are longer and give your legs a little more coverage as they finish just above the knee. A tailored staple, they look great with blazers, shirts, and simple sweaters. Once synonymous with 80s fashion, they are back in the game and a trending style item right now.<\/p>\n

In 2022, the mother of Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis<\/a> headed to Plymouth with the 1851 Trust, where she joined Sir Ben Ainslie and the British crew at a SailGP event. Showing us all how to nail nautical chic, the royal rocked a pair of \u00a0‘Oyster’ shorts with gold buttons from Holland Cooper.<\/a><\/p>\n

Although not strictly ‘Bermuda’ shorts since they are slightly shorter, her thigh-friendly pair were by no means ‘short’ in length; they gave the royal great coverage and were definitely longer than your standard shorts.<\/p>\n

The high-waisted design provides a flattering silhouette, making it a must-have when composing a relaxed, yet sophisticated aesthetic.”<\/p>\n

Kate expertly styled her shorts with a blue and white Breton striped jumper<\/a> and her trusty\u00a0Superga trainers<\/a>, a favourite of hers for sporting events.<\/p>\n
