Cat Deeley has a knack for knowing when I need some fashion inspiration, especially for this in between weather. Cat's latest This Morning look is exactly the inspiration I needed.
On Wednesday's show, the 48-year-old looked super chic in a tonal cream ensemble, styling a pair of wide leg cream trousers with a sheer, crochet long sleeve top.
- Cat Deeley wore a crochet top and cream wide-leg trousers on This Morning on Wednesday June 4.
- The presenter's top is the Whistles Crochet Long Sleeve Knit, £129.
- Crochet is a key summer trend, great for wearing with denim, linen or as a beach cover-up, says HELLO!'s Leanne Bayley.
Cat turned to the high street for her outfit, choosing a £129 top from Whistles and a pair of trousers from Zara, which have sold out online.
The Whistles White Crochet Long Sleeve Knit is an on-trend alternative to a T-shirt this summer, and gives a smarter finish to an ensemble. The top, cut to a regular fit, is great for sunny days and breeze evenings, with its open-knit structure that forms a cool geometric pattern. It's classic round neckline gives the vibe of a T-shirt, and it fastens with a keyhole at the back.

Ideal for those who aren't the biggest fans of their upper arms, it provides full coverage while still being a breezy choice thanks to the open-knit and crochet material. It's an on-trend piece, granted, but crochet is always a good idea in summer, and a great piece to elevate your denim shorts or summer trousers.
Available in sizes XS - XL, it can be worn with a vest or light top underneath, or just a bra. It would double up as a great cover-up on the beach too, worn over swimwear for when you pop to the beach bar or an al-fresco lunch.
I think raffia accessories look gorgeous with crochet, and you'll find plenty of raffia or straw bags on the high street, be it a small crossbody bag, a clutch or a large tote.
If you're wanting to emulate Cat's look but your budget is a little lower, Next has a brilliant crochet top to get Cat's vibe.
The Long Sleeved Boho Top is £40, has a similar pattern and also comes in blue.
As for Cat's trousers, head to H&M for the linen-blend wide-leg trousers, £29.99. They have a similar tailored structure to Cat's, and the linen blend make them a breathable choice for hot weather days.
Cat also revealed a beauty essential of hers, and it's such a classic beauty product that you probably already own it. Cat shared on her Insta-story that she was using the Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Cream throughout the show. The product, a skin moisturiser, can be used to hydrate skin, lips and dry patches plus doubles up as a glow-giving beauty product.
