Not shorts, not jeans, Duchess Sophie's cropped white trousers are the perfect in-between item to pair with everything from shirts to camis

Sophie, Duchess of Edinburgh smiles with a large bouquet of flowers on day six of the Platinum Jubilee Royal Tour of the Caribbean on April 27, 2022 in Soufriere, Saint Lucia.

Capri pants have come back into fashion in a big way for 2026 and back in 2022 Sophie showed us exactly how to style cropped trousers when she wore a white pair in the Caribbean.

She and Prince Edward went on a royal visit to mark Queen Elizabeth's Platinum Jubilee and on Day 6 they went to St Lucia. The Duchess stepped out in white high-waisted trousers that fell to just above her ankle and had a subtle kick flare.
