5 style lessons we can learn from Meghan Markle

It’s been four years since Meghan Markle married Prince Harry, dazzling the world with her custom Givenchy wedding dress. She continued to bring the same blend of sophistication and individuality toher wardrobewhile a member of the royal family, regularly pushing the boundaries of traditional dressing. These days, following her and Prince Harry’s退出皇室生活, she still mixes her designer duds with high-end street brands and more affordable pieces—often paired with her signature messy bun, of course.

Although everything she wears tends to fly off the shelves, you can find several Markle-worn styles still available to shop. Give your closet the royal treatment with these duchess-loved designs.

年代hop versatile pieces from J.Crew

Markle is famously a fan of J.Crew, like her husband Harry, who owns the brand’sLudlow suitin several shades. She regularly sports styles from the company, including the High-Rise Toothpick Jeans, which she wore during a 2018 visit to New Zealand. Unlike most pieces Markle steps out in, the charcoal denim pants are still available to purchase. They come in women’s waist sizes 23 to 37, as well as in women’s petite and tall waist sizes 23 to 32. Dress up your denim with a blazer, as Markle did, or pair witha plain white T-shirtto keep things more casual.

Another of Markle’s go-tos from J.Crew? The Juliette collarless sweater blazer, which she wore to the U.S. Open in 2019. The style does double duty as both a lounge-worthy sweater and a light jacket for warding off a chill. It comes in khaki, gray, and black in women’s sizes XXS to 3X. Reviewers also rave over the royal-approved style, with one calling it a “rare gem.” Perhaps “crown jewel” would be more fitting?

Don delicate jewelry

While most pieces in Markle’s jewelry box will run you over $1,000, she’s also selected some slightly more affordable accessories. She’s been spotted wearing Brooklyn-based jewelry brand Catbird’s Threadbare Ring, a tiny design with a tinier price tag than many of Markle’s rings. When we gaveCatbird’s signature stackable designsa try, we loved mixing and matching the delicate, versatile jewelry.

The sustainable shoes—which our tester called comfortable and versatile—are available at Nordstrom in all white or with tan or pink accents in unisex shoe sizes 5 to 10.

When Markle isn’t wearing sky-high stilettos fit for a princess, she’s been known to step out in flats fromRothys. She’s clearly a fan of the recycled-material brand, as she also once wore one of its face masks while dropping son Archie off at school. The Duchess of Sussex owns at least two pairs of the company’s sustainable pointed-toe flats, dubbed The Point, which come in 16 colors year round in addition to special seasonal shades. Be aware, however, that the shoes might have a break-in period, as they did for our tester. Shop them in women’s shoe sizes 5 to 13.
