Queen Letizia of Spain's combination of barely-there strappy sandals, a flowing pleated midi skirt and simple strapless top has got us taking notes for the next time we want an easy chic warm weather look.
The Spanish Queen stepped out alongside King Felipe VI and their daughters, Leonor and Infanta, to meet with members of the public as part of marking the 10 year anniversary since Felipe's proclamation.
Letizia's ensemble gave us an instant flurry of long skirt outfit ideas as soon as we saw the snaps from the event - and her barely-there T-bar sandals were certainly the dream comfy shoe option that are the ideal alternative for a pair of your best white trainers.

Maintaining a simple style on top, Letizia chose a basic black strapless vest with a subtle high-neck cut and topped the outfit with a slouchy but cosy oversized black cardigan when the evening got a little chillier.
We couldn't help but be wowed by Letizia's locks, too. She wore her shiny, rich brown tresses in loose but bouncy curls that elevated her overall look to even more glam levels. And her wavy style has got us dashing to shop hair products for humidity, as there was no sign of any frizz or flyaways.
