Copy Cat's style

There's nothing I love more than clothes shopping, but even I struggle to know what I'm looking for at this time of year. Do I want to buy those cosy boots that are reduced in the sale, or should I be looking at summer sandals instead?

They are few and far between, but some versatile pieces will work whatever the weather, and the Zara midi skirt that Cat Deeley wore on Monday's This Morning is one such item. In a classic Burberry-esque check print, it looks far more expensive than it is, plus it can be worn with a white T-shirt and summer sandals on a sunny day, or styled like Cat has done, with knee-high boots and knitwear on chillier days.

It's well worth £45, but it's also very likely to sell out. Currently, it's on the Zara website in all sizes (XS to XL), so be quick if you don't want to miss the boat on this must-have midi skirt.

Copy Cat's style

Exact match

Zara

Asymmetric Checks Midi Skirt

This is the very same skirt Cat wore to host today's episode of This Morning. Checks are one of those prints that never dates, and the neutral ecru colour will work with everything in your spring capsule wardrobe.

Exact match

The White Company

Asymmetric Drape Collar Jumper With Cashmere

Continuing the asymmetric theme, the collar on this knit is really interesting. Not only is it in the sale, it's the perfect lightweight knit for this time of year - breathable yet warm.

Dune London

Snaffle Trim Knee High Block Heeled Boots

Cat's LK Bennett boots have now sold out, but I actually prefer the sturdy block heel on these similar Dune boots, anyway. They're also available in tan leather, and one happy customer wrote this review: "Very good quality, love the way they fit. Not too big around the calf. Absolutely stunning!! So happy!"

Check Godet Maxi Skirt

If you prefer a longer or more flowy skirt, this similar option will do the trick. It's ideal for packing to take on holiday, but will look great back home with a crisp white shirt or a boho suede jacket, plus your most comfortable trainers.

M&S

Leather Reversible Jeans Belt

A leather belt is one of those small, easy-to-forget details that promises to pull a whole outfit together and make it look so polished. Cat's is actually from River Island, but this reversible option from M&S is brown on one side, black on the other. Genius.

Nobody's Child

Pink Check Midi Skirt

Check print midi skirts are everywhere this season, and this one has got soft pleats in it which will move beautifully as you walk. Frankly, why stop at just one chic check skirt? Stock up!

The asymmetric shape of Cat's skirt really elevates it, as does the leather belt she added. I also really love the frayed edges and slight split, which will show off a pair of knee-high boots perfectly.

I often feel overwhelmed when looking at what's new in at Zara, but Cat is the perfect model, and I'm heading straight to the checkout with this weatherproof wardrobe staple.
