NEW Look has dropped some stunning spring pieces in recent weeks, and the retailer’s new-in trainers are fit for royalty.
Perfectly timed for a seasonal wardrobe refresh, New Look has introduced a pair of £30 trainers that look strikingly similar to Veja’s – a brand famously loved by Princess Kate.

The Princess of Wales is known to have several pairs of the designer footwear in her collection, with New Look’s version retailing for a fraction of the price.
While Kate has been seen stepping out in the Veja Esplar’s, the £30 versions are a dupe of the brand’s popular Volley trainers.
The high street shoes have a chunky rubber sole with panels made from suedette and faux leather.
They come in a white and sage colourway that’s perfect the spring months, while the beige toe and pop of green are just like the designer version.
Loved by celebrities and royals, Veja has built a loyal fan base over fan base over the years, although the brand’s trainers aren’t the cheapest.
Retailing for around £130, New Look’s version come in at £100 cheaper.

The stylish trainers would pair well with everything from jeans and blazers to long satin skirts, making them a staple for every season.
Meghan Markle, Kourtney Kardashian and Emily Ratajkowski have also all stepped out in the cult favourite footwear.
While there’s no denying Veja’s solid reputation, New Look’s trainers are worth considering for those on the hunt for an affordable alternative.
I haven’t tried the trainers for myself, but the trainers in the red colourway have received positive reviews online, with an impressive 4.0-out-of-5 star rating.

Plenty of shoppers have also described the trainers as a dupe for the popular Adidas Sambas.
One wrote: “Gorgeous trainers that are even better in person – they’re comfortable and versatile with outfits.”
Another added: “Love these trainers! Great colour and very comfortable.
Brilliant for the price especially when compared against a similar design from a well known brand.”
The new-in trainers seem to have gone straight to the top of New Look’s bestseller list, so it’s likely they’ll sell fast.
