The Duchess of Cambridge took to the waves over the weekend.

Kate’s newest iconic outfit was seen at an event that seemed much less controversial and much more nautical.

According toPeople, the Duchess of Cambridge even donned a wetsuit while heading out on the waves.

But we don’t think it will be her wetsuit that royal fans take a stab at emulate.

Kate’s casual seaside outfit was a smart and sensible take on a summer classic: Linen.

Kate wore high-waisted, mid-thigh length linen white shorts detailed with gold buttons while in Plymouth.

Kate was in Plymouth for a boat race between Great Britain and New Zealand, according to People.

She joined four-time Olympian Sir Ben Ainslie alongside the Great Britain team after changing into a wetsuit.

The look is sure to inspire plenty of copycat summer styles.

These five-inch shorts are just as stylish as the royal’s for a reasonable price of about $80.

Whether going for brunch or running errands, they’ll have you looking like a frequent coastal explorer.
