News flash: Meghan Markle’s fashion choices aren’t just stylish — they’re actually practical. Throughout the Sussexes’ ten-day tour of South Africa, the Duchess recycled some old favorites, but her newer outfits made a case for a sensible, work-friendly wardrobe.
Her latest fashion staple? The shirtdress.
Markle’s new pared-back look included styles from accessible brands like a $325 Staud shirtdress, which she paired with $100 Sam Edelman flats, and a button-up $148 Artizia number. With her various iterations of the classic style, the royal looked professional and polished every time she stepped out, showing just how versatile a shirtdress can be.
Depending on the occasion, the shirtdress is easily dressed up or down, and that’s just what the Duchess demonstrated. From sleek pumps for a dressy look to comfortable flats and simple jewelry for a casual approach, Markle proved the simple dress is a must-have for every closet. Plus, it’s an incredibly flattering look, especially if it’s a tie-waist style or comes with a belt to balance the silhouette.
