The best Meghan Markle style moments have been tracked with precision since her relationship with Prince Harry first went public—and before that, for all the Suits stans. While she may no longer be a working member of the royal family, Markle's style choices are as interesting as ever for fashion fans…even if we're mostly just seeing tops on Zoom these days.
While there were certainly many a fancy royal look (and fascinator) during the Sussexes' time in England, a good portion of our favorite Meghan Markle style choices are the ones that find her leaning into the casual-cool aesthetic signature to native Californians. Here's hoping we see even more of that going forward, once the world opens back up.
In the meantime, here are 27 of Markle's best looks that you can actually re-create for yourself.
Brown on brown
Little did we know it at the time, but Meghan and Harry were about to drop the bombshell news that they were stepping down as senior working royals right after this appearance in January. They do look very happy, don't they? And the duchess's mixed brown tones are simple enough for us commoners to replicate with ease.

Jewel tones
Markle loves her grays, navies, and blacks—but she's not afraid of bold color, either. We love how she paired this purple long-sleeve Aritzia dress with one of her favorite pair of blue heels.

Day to night
Even before she became a duchess, Markle was all about making a fashion statement. We love the versatility of this look, which you could totally wear to the office (whenever we all go back!) and then out to drinks after work (remember those?!).

A great winter coat and timeless black boots are the kind of investment pieces we love—and apparently so does the Duchess of Sussex. This black belted piece is giving us similar vibes to the custom Brandon Maxwell coat she wore for Remembrance Sunday.

California casual
During her first official public appearance with Prince Harry—at the 2017 Invictus Games in Toronto—Markle ignited sales for white button-downs (this one was the Misha Nonoo Husband Shirt), Mother denim jeans, and a still top-selling Everlane leather tote. It was the beginning of the “Markle Sparkle” for brands.

For more notes in the casual-yet-chic department, look to any of Markle's Hunter boot looks. As one of Britain’s most popular brands, Hunter is known for making shoes that are stylish, comfortable, and, above all, rain- and mud-proof. She may have relocated to Los Angeles, where it’s nearly 70 degrees year-round, but we’re pretty sure she packed a pair of wellies.

Wedding white
Ah, the engagement moment! Markle and Harry were beaming as they announced their wedding plans to the world and royal fashion fans got their first taste of what the soon-to-be duchess's royal vibe might look like. (We can already spy the inspo for her Stella McCartney reception dress here.)
