In recent years, Duchess of Sussex Meghan Markle has adopted a more modest wardrobe, characterized by smooth lines and muted tones. This change can be attributed to her relaxed lifestyle in Montecito. Or it could be due to her desire for the quiet extravagant trend that still seems to suffocate countless celebrities. Either way, her outfits tend to exude pared-down elegance. For example, when she first appeared on the red carpet this year, she paired a black camisole top with a Carolina Herrera floor-length princess skirt, accented only with gold statement earrings.
What's her latest look? Keeping with her minimalist aesthetic, Meghan opted for chic flats for lunch with wedding dress designer and former Givenchy creative director Clare Waight Keller at Cipriani in Beverly Hills. Duchess Kate tucked a black T-shirt into tailored wide-leg trousers by Ulla Johnson, paired with her copper cashmere wool Max Mara coat and pointed-toe black suede and leather Aquazzura cut-out flats. Meghan carried a brown suede Sesta Collective clutch to match her coat and Givenchy aviators to protect her eyes from the California sun. I wore shades.
Despite her influential position, the duchess these days eschews flashy clothing in favor of sophisticated, minimal clothing, which has become her everyday uniform. Meghan tends to use textural elements like cashmere and suede to elevate her ensembles.
