Even before her days as a royal, Meghan Markle was inspiring with her simple, classic sense of style. From her days playing Rachel on Suits, Meghan developed a reputation for great looks using clean lines and colors that could work on nearly anyone. Her style was and is that one word we all want to hear for our own wardrobes when we see her out: attainable.
While some may balk at the cost of certain pieces she has incorporated into her outfits over the years, those items are 1) classics that will last for years and 2) easy enough to find similar versions of for less because they are so classic and chic.
With that in mind, let’s break down how you can get inspired by Meghan’s style for your own wardrobe and find some of her favorite pieces for less!
A Quick Guide to Meghan’s style:
1. Classic Heels
Especially in her looks for royal engagements, we have seen Meghan out in simple heels that work for any look. Cream and black heels are classics that should be mandatory for every wardrobe.
2. Staple Coats
A great coat can really take your outfit to the next level during the fall and winter months. Consequently, an ill-fitting or extreme color/style can overwhelm your overall look to the point of destruction.
3. Color Choice
Throughout her style history, Meghan has stuck with great color basics; white, black, navy, camel, etc. and then mixed in more seasonal tones (such as evergreen or burgundy) and prints (like florals).
4. Wear What Makes You Feel Good!
When she is wearing any look, you can tell that Meghan is comfortable. If you aren’t a person who feels great and can walk in a pencil skirt, don’t! The biggest advice anyone can get about cultivating their own personal style is to just be yourself and be comfortable. While it is great to push yourself out of your box and try new things, trust yourself a little bit to know when you just don’t feel right about something.
Recreating Meghan’s signature style is more simple and affordable than you may think! If you are integrating the above keys into your shopping habits and wardrobe, here are a few easy, everyday outfits she has worn and items to put them together for less! Each of the pieces can fit seamlessly into any wardrobe and work for countless looks.
