8 Trends (and Classics) Meghan Markle Always Incorporates Into Her Outfits

I wouldn't consider myself a royal-obsessed person (the only season of The Crown I watched was Princess Diana's), but something about their style always intrigues me. Since her Suits and The Tig days, I've been a fan of Meghan Markle and still love to keep up with her current looks. She always looks perfectly elevated and put-together. Examples include her Givenchy wedding dress and the street style looks she's worn since leaving her royal title behind. While keeping track of her looks, I've noticed there are a few core pieces she tends to rely on often as a part of her signature style. As someone who surely has access to a large variety in terms of sartorial choices, she lets her personal style shine by keeping to a selection of styles she knows and loves.

Below, you'll find the eight trends (and classics) that will almost always be incorporated into a Meghan Markle ensemble. With pointed-toe pumps and tailored coats, she never misses. Keep scrolling for more.

Coordinated Suiting

While Markle's latest look was a more trend-forward version of suiting, she often sports a good suit set. Whether you want to keep it more structured and formal or opt for the oversize look, a suit is the sure way to look polished instantly.

Heeled Pumps

I don't think I've ever seen Markle not wearing heeled pumps, and I think it's because she pulls off the classic shoe silhouette so well.

Tailored Coats

There are plenty of outerwear options on the market, but a tailored coat is a royal favorite. 

Midi Dresses

I have to agree with Markle on the fact that the midi dress is the superior length. It looks more sophisticated and is much easier to style than a maxi or mini in my opinion.

Turtlenecks

Whether it's layered or worn as is, Markle loves a good ol' turtleneck. It's a cold-weather staple, so it's always good to have one on deck when the temperature drops.

Midi Skirts

I hate to be biased, but just like the midi dress is superior, so is the midi skirt. if you need proof, you can see that the medium length style is a part of the market majority.

Saturated Shades

Saturated shades were a top trend of 2021, and both Markle and Kate Middleton know how to work a showstopping hue.

Skinny Jeans

In the skinny jeans vs. wide-leg jeans argument, it's safe to say that Markle is a ride-or-die skinny-jeans girl.

She's also spent time writing and working for publications such as Fashionista, Coveteur, and Nylon, but she always knew that Who What Wear was where she was meant to be. When she's on the job, she's perusing runway shows, analyzing the latest thing fellow Gen Zers are up to on the internet, and sharing what she can about the modest-fashion market. You can also catch her dabbling in entertainment, talking about the costume choices of the latest Netflix series or diving deeper into how the plotline affects the viewers in a myriad of ways. Lastly, she likes to create content for Who What Wear's TikTok. Her personal time is spent doing similar but also different things—deep diving into almost every new TV show (Bridgerton, Gilmore Girls, and Stranger Things are favorites), planning her next local getaway (whenever that may be), and reading the latest Emily Henry or Sally Rooney novel in one sitting.
