If You Wish to Get dressed Like Meghan Markle, You'll be able to Want Those 6 Issues

Meghan Markle hasn’t long been on the global fashion radar, yet she’s still managed to hone herself a streamlined wardrobe of pieces she trusts. These are easily identified as the items she wears on repeat in one incarnation or another. For some of us, these might include a great pair of straight-leg jeans, a Breton and loafers, but for Meghan’s slightly elevated royal style, a different set of capsule-wardrobe criteria applies.

Crisp white shirts and cinch-waist dresses make the list, in addition to a practical crossbody. Where some might opt for nude pumps (the Duchess of Cambridge, to name one), Meghan chooses pointy black heels with an interesting element: Just see the chunky Aquazzura pumps she wore to the Royal Foundation Forum. Take or leave the rest—these are the six items that define Meghan’s wardrobe (and the ones you need to get if you want to dress like her).

Floor-scraping yet high-waisted trousers with a wide leg have become a staple part of Meghan's look. Copy this nautical Veronica Beard pair with pearl button detail for all the elongation.

A fan of brands like Aquazzura, Manolo Blahnik and Stuart Weitzman, Meghan shies away from simple courts and patent leather, instead opting for pointy heels with interesting details.

Midi totes and cross-body bags have become synonymous with Meghan's style; as far as bags go, she has a preference for the practical. We feel you, Meg. Scottish accessories brand Strathberry has proved a go-to for the actress. Shop her much-talked-about East/West Mini Cross-body below, which comes in a variety of colours.

Meghan turned fashion heads when she opted to wear a black Alexander McQueen suit with a white pussy-bow blouse to the Endeavour Fund Awards, not to mention a 40% spike in searches for black trousers, according to Lyst. And that's not the only instance: Meghan tends to prefer dark trousers over day dresses. Relatable? Find yourself a slick pair like the £20 ASOS ones below. Love.

Belted coats are frequently seen on the soon-to-be royal, from her black Stella McCartney to her camel Sentaler version, though none more iconic than her white The Line wrap coat worn to announce her engagement. Maybe she loves their waist-cinching qualities, who knows? Either way, we're on board.

This wide-necked, check Theory jacket was a major fashion win our books, and we're eager to see more of this pretty neckline on Meghan. Lucky for us, a black version of Meghan's jacket is still in stock...

Sleeveless, cinch-waist dresses are a staple part of Meghan’s look. Channel this Aquazzura dress for a summer look that can take you from working days in the city to weekend breaks in Cannes.

Markle’s signature off-duty style has become synonymous with the white button-down shirt that she stylishly wears with a simple pair of skinny jeans. You can buy her exact shirt from American brand Misha Nonoo, who has cleverly avoided any sell-out issues by making all shirts made to order. But if you can’t wait that long, there are plenty of other off-the-peg versions that are just as stylish.

As a fan of brands like Aquazzura, Manolo Blahnik and Stuart Weitzman, Meghan shies away from simple courts and patent leather, instead opting for pointy heels with interesting details.

While Meghan’s daytime look is always accessorised with a neat little crossbody bag—usually from one of her favoured British brands, including Strathberry—she relies on a selection of trusty black clutch bags for more formal occasions. This Gucci Dionysus bag in the supermini size takes her handbag collection up a notch. And it’s practical too, as the chain strap turns it into a crossbody style.

Meghan—like Kim Kardashian—loves a tonal look. On a recent trip to Belfast, Meghan paired her cream coat by Mackage with a tonal sweater by Victoria Beckham. Such a bright shade of off-white makes even knitwear feel summery: a similar sweater to Meghan’s, like the & Other Stories one below, will prove to be the perfect trans-seasonal piece.

Meghan shows how versatile a good black blazer can really be: Here, she wears an Alexander McQueen version with the prettiest green Self Portrait dress that is perfect for the wedding season. She also shoulder-robes one in the Aquazzura dress at the top of this gallery.
