Cat Deeley graced us with the chicest heatwave-appropriate outfit whilst on This Morning earlier this week. Her embroidered co-ord maintains an air of sophistication whilst being breezy enough for soaring temperatures.
Spotted on Wednesday, Cat wore a vibrant green cross-stitched embroidered blouse and matching shorts from Brazilian brand Farm Rio. Not only is this co-ord perfect for warm weather, but it can easily work as a smart-casual outfit if you're heading out with friends or family too.
The blouse features long sleeves and palm-tree embroidered motifs for an eye-catching finish. Cat added a brown leather belt worn around the waist from Sézane, adding definition to its relaxed silhouette. She finished the look with the matching shorts and brown heeled sandals by Stuart Weitzman.
Although her exact co-ord is certainly an investment piece, it's one you'll get plenty of use out of, especially if you're wondering what to wear in the heat and want to remain polished and put together.

Made solely from linen, this beautiful blouse doesn't just look the part, but it will keep you cool in the heat thanks to its breathable fabric. Its shape is relaxed with puffed sleeves gathered at the cuff, and the detailled embroidery feels so chic!

These shorts have a relaxed silhouette with a high waist cut and practical pockets. Style with the matching blouse, or wear as a statement piece with a neutral colour blouse or white t-shirt.

Made in Italy from a soft leather, this belt comes in a rich chocolate shade that will pair seamlessly alongside denim blues as well as more pigmented shades including forest green.

This green striped shirt is perfect for holiday styling especially when paired with the matching shorts. The pigmented green alongside the orange and blue embellished details make this shirt summer-ready.

These shorts feature an elasticated waistband for a comfortable all day fit. Wear these separate to the matching shirt paired with a white linen button-up or a simple vest.

Dune's Jiving sandals have a soft leather strap and come in a warm tan colour that's extremely versatile. The block heel is a comfortable alternative to stilettos, making them a practical choice for special occasions.
Next to the best summer dresses, shorts and blouse co-ords are one of the most practical outfits for warmer weather, offering a breathable look that requires minimal styling. Both pieces of a co-ord can be worn separately too, for example, you could pair an embroidered blouse with breezy white linen trousers or denim shorts for a more laid-back look.
Cat's choice of heeled sandals and a brown leather belt truly transforms this co-ord into something that feels event-ready and far more elevated than if it were styled with flats and a beach bag. However, both options work, and styled with your most comfortable sandals and a relaxed tote, this co-ord is a stylish everyday choice, especially in the hot weather!
