Duchess Sophie's white cropped trousers are an elegant staple your wardrobe is crying out for as the heatwave returns

Duchess Sophie smiles as she poses for photographs at the Sandwell Aquatics Centre during the Commonwealth Games on August 02, 2022.

It can be an ordeal to find confidence-boosting, flattering shorts and yet the weather is about to get too hot for jeans again, so a pair of comfy white trousers is a perfect alternative. This staple is such a handy item to have - whether you have a minimal summer capsule wardrobe or a bigger collection like the Duchess of Edinburgh.

She owns several white trousers, but the style she wore to the 2022 Commonwealth Games was particularly chic. They were cropped and had a straight-leg shape that was streamlined but not fitted. This kind of silhouette is great to wear in the heat as it accentuates your frame and isn't restrictive.
