We discovered Kate's a Veja fan when she rocked a pair to visit St Andrews with William

When the royal couple stopped by their old University St Andrews in Edinburgh, Kate was the epitome of casual cool in an Erdem striped jumper, Holland Cooper blazer and trousers - but it was her sneaks that caught our eye.

Veja trainers are not only super stylish – they’re sustainably produced and beloved by her sister-in-law Meghan Markle.

Sales for Vejas first saw a boom back in 2018 when Prince Harry’s wife rocked a pair to the Invictus games in Australia. Meghan wore the label's signature 'Esplar' style which cost around £90 a pair ($120 for US shoppers)

Primary colours are a great way to go – but the brand has since added a splash of summer-ready colours including pastel pink and orange.

These look equally great with boyfriend jeans or floral summer dresses and there are super comfy. But the best thing about them is that they are made from organic cotton, wild rubber from the Amazon, vegetable-tanned leather and recycled plastic bottles.
