Queen Letizia just stepped out in an unexpected and chic casual outfit, pairing a laid-back white shirt with a pair of matching linen trousers - and her crochet handbag added an elevated pop of colour to the monochrome look.

Queen Letizia of Spain has long been known and loved for her glamorous approach to fashion. A lover of sky-high heels and statement-making outfits, her magenta printed dress and matching bag combination is still stuck in our minds, as is her sultry metallic slip dress that took mermaidcore to new sophisticated heights.

The casual outfit comes as Queen Letizia and her husband King Felipe VI come to the end of their annual summer holiday. The pair have, as has become tradition for them, stepped away from royal duties for a family break while their children are away from school, though their break was interrupted by the Paris Olympics this year which they attended in Paris as part of their official duties.

Stepping out at a reception for the Olympic athletes in Paris last month, Letizia looked gorgeous in a dreamy head-to-toe Dior outfit and a pair of low-block heels. The shoes were a stunning though practical choice for the royal as she continues to suffer with chronic foot pain, something that's keeping the many stillettos that make up her collection from making an appearance.

We're not complaining though! Letizia's brilliant collection of flats has given us so much inspiration for our shoe capsule wardrobes as she's been pictured in some of the best white trainers and most stylish sandals on the market.
