Meghan Markle's Ankle Boots Definitely Make Us Stand at Attention

It feels like every day of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's royal tour [1] is an excuse for Meghan to throw us a fashion curve ball. From fantasy gowns [2] to spaghetti strap sundresses [3], she's been wowing us with every appearance. On a visit to the Maranui Cafe in Wellington, New Zealand, the duchess kept things casual in items we're used to seeing her in, including a soft waterfall jacket courtesy of Club Monaco and the Outland Denim jeans she first sported in Dubbo, Australia [4]. But she dialled things up a notch by teaming the laid-back look with a serious pair of statement-making boots.

We couldn't help but stare at Meghan's utility-inspired ankle boots, which are the the Stuart Weitzman "Veruka" boots. Don't let the name put you off (seriously, Veruka?!), because these boots are perfect for a little combat-inspired chic, and they come in all manner of different colours and finishes, so even if you can't track down Meghan's black suede version, you can still take this look for a spin. As Meghan proves, they take a simple outfit to new levels and are the perfect basis to your Fall wardrobe. Keep reading to see how Meghan styled them, then shop her entire look for yourself.
