Duchess Sophie’s comfy trainers and ice blue maxi skirt from 2021 are a casual summer style combination we’re copying.

Sometimes it can feel like we often end up compromising on comfort for style - especially when it comes to shoes.

Depending on how you style them, trainers are comfy and chic in equal measure if you’re looking for outfit inspiration look no further than the Duchess of Edinburgh. No one knows how to style trainers in an elegant way better than the royals and in 2021 Duchess Sophie wore a gorgeous maxi skirt with soft grey trainers to the Royal Windsor Horse Show.
