Cat Deeley isn't one to shy away from a fashion trend, and for Monday's episode of This Morning she debuted a new pair of shorts from M&S - a pair of dark brown suede high waisted knee length shorts.
The Bermuda shorts trend is very popular right now, so it's a delight to see Cat rocking the high-street while she presents This Morning.
- Cat Deeley looked chic on Monday's episode of This Morning, rocking not one but two trends - suede and Bermuda shorts.
- She wore the Marks & Spencer Suede High Waisted Knee Length Shorts, costing £189.
- The shorts have a stellar review online, saying that the "suede is beautifully soft and hangs really well".
As I'm typing this story I can see that these shorts are selling out fast, proving that the Cat Deeley effect is fully in motion. The 48-year-old has been keeping on top of the recent trends reports because she's rocking suede (still a big trend right now) and Bermuda shorts. Sporting a new pair of M&S shorts from the Autograph range, Cat's shorts have a flattering high waistline and a neat zip-and-button fastening. The soft leather fabric gives them a luxurious look and feel.

One happy customer wrote online: "These suede shorts (suederhosen?) were by far the most expensive thing I ordered from M&S on my last online shopping spree, and are by far the nicest. The suede is beautifully soft and hangs really well. Proof that you get what you pay for, I suppose. Nice to see M&S doing clothes that are both fashion forward and high quality."
High praise indeed.
EXACT MATCH: M&S Suede High Waisted Knee Length Shorts
© M&SHELLO!'s Fashion Editor Laura Sutcliffe is a fan of the Bermuda shorts trend, saying: "This year, it's all about the Bermuda shorts ... Aim for the hem to finish right above the knee." She thinks they're "a great alternative to jeans when the weather turns hot."
I actually just bought a pair of Bermuda shorts from Marks & Spencer, I opted for the soft white denim pair and I'm thrilled with my purchase. They look and feel so good on, and they're super chic. I plan to wear them with a blue linen shirt tucked in and a pair of mesh shoes.
EDITOR'S PICK: M&S Pure Cotton Denim Bermuda Shorts
© M&SEnough about me though! Cat teamed her new shorts with a silky Zara blouse , a tan suede belt and a pair of gold sandals. She kept her jewellery to a minimum with the exception of two gold bangles and a pair of gold hoop earrings.
It's not the first time Cat has worn Marks & Spencer, who can forget when she starred on the final episode of M&S: Dress The Nation where she helped crown the winner of the ITV reality show.
Alternatives to Cat's shorts
As I'm watching all the sizes of Cat's shorts vanish before my eyes, it's only fair that I show you some good lookalikes so you can shop the look should you wish. I really love these chocolate brown shorts from Nobody's Child that are on sale for £33 and surprise surprise, they're selling fast.
