Kate Middleton Just Swapped Her Skinny Jeans for This Polished Trend

Image
When Kate Middleton isn't wearing her signature A-line dresses , she's usually in a pair of skinny jeans and boots . Lately, however, she's been relying on a chic, polished staple that's a bit more formal but no less comfortable: wide-leg trousers. The Duke and  Duchess of Cambridge paid a visit to  The Way Youth Zone in Wolverhampton, U.K., to mark Mental Health Awareness Week.  For the excursion, Middleton needed something sophisticated enough for meetings but laidback enough for a play date with kids.

Here's the Swimwear Trend Outshining All the Rest This Season

It's safe to say that last year we pretty much all took a hiatus from poolside parties and packed trips to the beach. As an optimist, I'm hoping things will be a little different in the months ahead, and yup, my mind has already drifted into the world of bikinis. I'm not a huge swimsuit person, so of course I took to the Internet's favorite mood board, Instagram, to glean which styles I should be betting my money on. It didn't take long for one trend in particular to emerge as the clear winner: French cut bikinis are back, and in a big way.

I've noticed different ways to pull off a French cut bikini: from barely-there string bottoms as seen on Bella Hadid and Dua Lipa, to more full coverage cuts.
