Meghan Markle [1] might be the Duchess of Sussex, but she's also the queen of coats. Whether a peacoat, an overcoat, or a casual belted trench, she has a pretty impressive collection. A well-tailored coat is Markle's go-to fashion item for the Autumn and Winter months. We'll definitely be following suit and investing in some chic outerwear.
A structured coat like Markle's easily elevates any outfit by adding a smart, polished finish. But it's not only her love of simple, sophisticated coats that's inspiring our Autumn wardrobe. It's also her choice of colours that makes her look so effortlessly stylish. Markle often wears the same recurring palette of black, white, and beige, with splashes of green, and navy. She'll often pair her fabulous coats with either a casual shirt-dress, or a sensible blouse and pencil skirt, always accessorised with pointed-toe pumps (sometimes in a fun animal print [2]) and a very cute bag (like Rejina Pyo's Olivia bag [3]).
For Markle's evening looks, she either goes for tonal dressing (by matching her dress to her coat and hat), or chooses an elegant dress with sheer sleeves. Whenever she steps out for an appearance, she always looks quite minimal and put together, and we can't get enough of it. If you, like us, are looking for some Autumn outfit inspiration that's fit for a royal then keep reading for 19 of Meghan Markle [4]'s best ever looks for the chilly months.
