Meghan Markle’s sworn by this simple outfit formula for years — and it’s easy to re-create

Meghan Markle knows what works when it comes to her closet.

The Duchess of Sussex covers People this week wearing a crisp white button-up shirt and jeans — just weeks after sporting strikingly similar styles in an Instagram video teasing her new brand, As Ever.

Markle’s made the casual combo her uniform over the years, wearing likeminded looks everywhere from a 2024 Montecito brunch to a 2019 Australia trip.

She even selected a similar pairing for her first public appearance with Prince Harry at the 2017 Invictus Games, with her distressed denim generating countless headlines.

While not all of the duchess’ fashion favorites come with budget-friendly price tags, it’s easy to re-create her signature style for less. Keep scrolling for our top picks to shop her go-to look.

Some of Meghan Markle’s most affordable closet staples come from J.Crew — including the Featherweight Cashmere-Blend Cropped Sweater Shell she wears in her new Netflix show.

Markle’s friend and neighbor Oprah Winfrey has lauded Brochu Walker on her “Favorite Things” list. (And Jamie Mizrahi — who’s reportedly worked with Markle — teamed up with the brand last year, too.)

The actress-turned-royal’s closet includes the distressed version of these on-trend flared ankle jeans.

The Duchess of Sussex’s denim go-tos also include these under-$200 La Ligne jeans, which she wore for lunch in Montecito in 2024.

While the “Suits” star’s canvas version of Madewell’s Transport Tote is no longer sold, the retailer still offers plenty of elevated basics fit for a duchess.

Make the look even more luxe with a silk button-up from Markle-loved Banana Republic.

Markle co-signed the bootcut jean trend in February, stepping out in these Veronica Beard flares.

Frame’s another of her favorite denim sources; Markle owns multiple pairs.

Markle wears Jenni Kayne knitwear in her new show — but for something on the more affordable side, the brand’s breezy button-ups are under $200.
