Queen Mary's summer outfit formula of linen trousers and slingback flats is the epitome of understated elegance

Queen Mary of Denmark smiles as she arrives to begin her summer residence at Fredensborg Castle on May 4, 2026.

Jeans and trainers are a pairing you know you can rely on but Queen Mary of Denmark has just worn an equally comfy combination that feels much more elegant. She and King Frederik moved to their summer residence, Fredensborg Castle, on 4th May and she stepped out in the sunshine in Reiss linen trousers and Chanel flats.

The Mila trousers are £170 and they come in a few colours but Mary's are navy with tan ric-ram trims running up the legs and on the waistband. They're made from pure linen and this is a brilliant material if you're on the hunt for spring outfit ideas as it's breathable and so works so well for warmer weather.
