Meghan Markle [1] embarked on the first of two solo engagements in Johannesburg, South Africa today, and as she stepped out for the first, a trip to the city's university, she showed off what's quickly becoming her signature look. The Duchess of Sussex is making the button-down dress her trademark [2], and one style in particular seems to be her go-to. Meghan made the sleeveless trench dress a part of royal history when she sported a white design by Grace Wales Bonner for her son Archie Mountbatten-Windsor's first appearance [3]. She's also been spotted in a blush style [4], and on Tuesday she added a classic tan one to her wardrobe.
This new trench dress is one of the most accessible looks the duchess has worn yet: it comes from Banana Republic and retails at £95 [6], though it won't surprise you to hear the style quickly sold out online when it got the royal seal of approval. Meghan teamed her belted, double-breasted style with Stuart Weitzman pumps and rings by Jennifer Meyer. Keep reading for a closer look at the whole ensemble.
