The Princess of Wales' sister rarely wears shorts, but the pair she was seen in in 2011 are a must-have for festivals this summer, especially Glastonbury this weekend.
Pippa Middleton, now 41, was seen out in London sporting a pair of lovely red floral shorts with a frilly hem and cinched waist.
Her summery shorts, which would pair perfectly with wellies for a day at Glastonbury, were teamed with a black V-neck tee and a single-breasted blazer.

Other than Pippa's floral shorts, she has only ever been spotted publicly in sports shorts. In June 2011, Pippa competed in the GE Blenheim Triathlon at Blenheim Palace, donning a pair of running shorts with a tank top and New Balance trainers.

Pippa's summer staple
The red ballet flats, which Pippa wore with her red shorts, were a staple of her 2011 wardrobe – and a major hit this season.

Her lovely Zimmermann dress, which seemingly took inspiration from her sister Pippa, featured a similar knee-grazing skirt but had three-quarter length sleeves.
