Duchess Sophie's white trousers and comfy espadrille flats are a versatile combination you'll reach for over and over

The Duchess of Edinburgh smiles during a visit to Team England house at The Social Hub in Glasgow on day nine of the 2026 Commonwealth Games.

When you think of the royals' outfits, comfort doesn't necessarily spring to mind first but Duchess Sophie's off-duty style pairings tend to tick this box more than you think. Although she loves a good pair of stilettos, espadrilles are her go-tos for summer and at the Commonwealth Games she went for flats and cropped trousers.

The Duchess of Edinburgh has owned her TOMS Valenciana flatform espadrilles for several years now and the white ones are her most-worn. They're so neutral they just go with everything and coordinated with her trousers in Glasgow too.
