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.
