Kate Middleton' stepped out in a stunning nautical outfit yesterday and we're lusting after her stylish summer shorts from Holland Cooper.

- The Duchess paired her look with a bouncy blow dry and natural makeup.

The Duchess of Cambridge enjoyed an adventurous day out, where she took part in sailing activities and met with sailing teams from both the UK and New Zealand. The Duchess is a royal patron of the 1851 Trust, which aims to help young people explore science and technology through sport. During her visit to Plymouth, she met with young people to discuss sustainability, had a go at practical eco tasks and even took part in a Commonwealth Friendly Race.
The Duchess looked as flawless as usual in a more relaxed outfit choice with some on-trend bright white shorts from Holland Cooper. It is thought the gold buttons could have been custom-made for the Duchess.
Tailored Short in Oyster Linen, $243/ £199 | Holland Cooper
These loose-fitting shorts are perfect for keeping cool in the heat, with signature gold button detailing.
They're described on the brands website as, "Combining timeless style with modern sophistication, the Luxe Tailored Shorts are realised in a luxury Linen blend, with two single knife pleats and signature gold rivets.
"The high-waisted design provides a flattering silhouette that perfectly complements the female form, making it a must-have when composing a relaxed, yet sophisticated aesthetic."
Catherine's look was a big departure from the glamorous Kate Middleton dresses we're used to seeing on the Duchess. But you might recognize shorts as a staple in Catherine's wardrobe - the Duchess wore shorts during her and Prince William’s royal Caribbean tour of The Bahamas in March this year, but they were a shorter grey pair.
