If You Work in a Conservative Office, Copy This Meghan Markle Outfit

We get that not everyone works in a creative office environment in which jeans are an acceptable wardrobe choice. And since most celebrities don't work in offices at all, when we see one serving up outfit inspiration for a conservative environment, we're quick to take notes. The latest example of that came just today, when Markle stepped out for a surprise official appearance with Prince Harry in Northern Ireland.
For the occasion, Markle topped a cream-colored sweater and forest green (because Ireland) fluted pencil skirt off with a draped wool coat and finished the three-piece outfit with velvet pumps and a brown top-handle satchel.
Markle has a couple more months to go before becoming an official royal, but she's already the unofficial queen of pants, stepping out in a plethora of chic styles for many of her recent appearances, but the polished pencil skirt was a refreshing way to mix things up (it is technically spring, after all). Find out how to re-create Markle's latest look for the office below.
On Meghan Markle: Mackage Mai Coat ($750); Victoria Beckham sweater; Greta Constantine skirt; Charlotte Elizabeth Bloomsbury Bag ($261); Jimmy Choo Romy Pointy Toe Pumps ($595)
Available in sizes XS to XL.
