Meghan Markle

A few years ago, I had my “colours done,” which involved various fabric swatches draped around my neck to show how they worked (or didn’t work) with my skin tone. I very much believe that if you like a colour, you should wear it, as there are really no rules in fashion—at least none that I encourage. Still, if you’re faced with a piece you love in various colours, where do you begin? It’s easy to stick to reliable base colours of black, white and grey, but for those looking to add more colour to their wardrobe, there’s one hue out there that suits all skin tones, and Meghan Markle has proven just how brilliant this colour is: primary red.  Every few months, we get a sighting of Meghan Markle and are reminded of just how stylish she is...

Meghan Markle is back in Europe, and she packed a trend-forward, elegant wardrobe for the many occasions she and Prince Harry traveled for. Earlier today, while attending an Invictus Games event in Dusseldorf, Germany, Markle wore a particularly buzzy trend. Yes, it’s puddle pants, a style that Kate Middleton also wore to an event earlier this year (with much success, I might add). With her puddle pants outfit, in one fell swoop, Markle effortlessly proved that the trend doesn’t have to be sloppy in the least. In fact, she made them look downright chic, thanks to expert styling. She paired the pleated Brandon Maxwell trousers with a knit tank and her go-to heel style: pointed-toe pumps. The next time you’re tempted to bring your extra-lo...

The last week has been all about Meghan Markle. Slow heatwave days and refreshing cooler moments were punctuated by the latest photos of the Duchess of Sussex that set the fashion crowd alight. If you were on a social detox, or simply busy staring into a fan, then you may have missed the frenzy induced by Meghan’s flowy jumpsuit or the sleek tailored shorts she wore for her meeting with feminist pioneer Gloria Steinem. (Don’t worry—I’ve shopped out this look below.) These appearances reminded me of just how wearable Meghan’s style really is, and so began my hunt to re-create some of her best looks with the help of the Great British high street. During my deep dive into Meghan’s style, I noticed there were a few specifics she relies on. Classic combinations are...

Meghan Markle’s visit to New York continues, and her latest look is quite a departure from her previous two (check those out here and here), although all are characteristically polished. One of Markle’s outings this week was for lunch with legendary feminist pioneer Gloria Steinem. Markle opted for a seasonally appropriate shorts outfit that reflected both the weather and the current trends. (NYC isn’t spared from the heatwave—it’s been in the 90s this week.) While denim shorts (specifically cutoffs) are likely to always be a summer wardrobe staple, fashion people have been favoring another shorts style as of late: longer, tailored shorts that look 10 times more polished than denim ones. Markle certainly got the memo and opted for front-plea...

Name something better than spotting Meghan Markle and Prince Harry on a hot date in New York City—I’ll wait. The couple, who descended upon NYC because of Prince Harry’s role as the keynote speaker during the United Nations General Assembly on Monday, followed up the event with a dinner out at Locanda Verde in TriBeCa, where Markle debuted yet another one of her many winning looks. Just like she did for her daytime ensemble, the Duchess of Sussex opted for black, wearing a sleek, strapless jumpsuit by Gabriela Hearst. Markle added her go-to Cartier Tank watch, strappy Aquazzura heels, and a dark-red braided take on fashion’s most ubiquitous handbag, Bottega Veneta’s Pouch bag. Her date looked equally polished, albeit...

If you like to see what Meghan Markle wears these days and also need new sandals, you’ve come to the right place. Markle was out in Santa Barbara over the weekend to cheer Prince Harry on at his polo match, and her casual summer outfit was quite relatable. The denim-on-denim look included a tucked-in button-down and shorts by L.A.-based brand Dôen (now sold out, sorry). She topped the look off with a sweater tied around her shoulders and a pair of oversize sunglasses. Now, let’s discuss her shoes. I’m sure you’re aware of the polarising toe-ring sandals, but I’m calling the pair she wore toe-jewellery sandals. The Emme Parsons brown leather sandals feature a loop around the toe, but instead of leather, it’s made of gold metal, so it l...

Meghan Markle, Duchess of Sussex, has done what I once considered to be the impossible—she has convinced me that I need to buy and wear a pair of shorts this summer. Attending a polo match in Santa Barbara, the royal was clearly keen to flex her fashion muscles, as she wore what I would say is one of her chicest ensembles to date. A bold claim considering her solid sartorial track record, but the way in which she styled her shorts is nothing less than a masterclass in looking elevated and polished. The shorts in question are no tatty denim cut-offs, either—instead, Markle opted for a pair of now-sold-out loose-fitting, tailored shorts by Khaite, a brand she and countless other celebrities, including Katie Holmes and Dakota Johnson, are firm fans of. Pairing them wi...
