Meghan Markle’s Summer Outfit Formula Hits Every Single Time

It’s no secret that Meghan Markle has been a style icon for years. With how she re-wears her favorite pieces (looking at you, square sunnies,) and keeps her looks chic and crisp, we’d go as far to say that she’s taking a page out of The Everygirl’s very own capsule wardrobe guide. While we love her style year-round, we’re particularly partial to her summer looks. You can bet that if she’s spotted in the warmer months, she’s wearing some sort of iteration of this outfit formula: belted shorts + a matching top + a blazer.

Let’s face it: It’s not revolutionary to wear a matching set during the summer, but when Meghan Markle wears it, it makes us want to replicate the look ASAP. It’s chic, comfortable, and easy to style depending on the occasion. This quiet-luxury-esque outfit is perfect for summer, so there’s no surprise here over the fact she’s wearing it on repeat.

Ready to rock the same look as Meghan? We’ve rounded up five outfits below of her very best summer looks—and how you can replicate them yourself.

Opt for a two-piece look

Though Meghan is wearing a romper here, the belted effect of it almost looks as if it is two separate pieces. You can achieve this same look by opting for a pair of shorts and a buttoned top of the same color, and then belting the shorts with a belt in the same shade and material. Top it off with some sunnies, your everyday jewelry, and a comfy pair of summer sandals, and you’ve got yourself a Meghan-Markle-approved look.

When in doubt, throw a blazer on

The key to Meghan’s effortless look is how well her blazer pairs with the rest of her outfit. The slightly oversized blazer makes the casual romper look more chic, and opting for one in the same hue was the perfect choice.

A sweater blazer and matching shorts

We saw a major resurgence in lady jackets over the past year, and one of the key details we couldn’t stop gushing over was their gold coin-like buttons. These types of buttons on a jacket or sweater elevate the garment and blend well with other gold accessories. Meghan Markle pairs her cardigan with matching shorts and a simple black tank.

Add accessories to really make the look shine

While your matching set may be the star of the show, don’t forget to accessorize to take your whole look to the next level. Meghan pairs her sweater blazer and matching shorts with a chunky black belt that complements the buttons on her sweater. She topped off her look with cap-toe ballet flats, which always give that timeless look she so effortlessly displays.

Have some fun with bold pops of color

Summer is the perfect time to lean into playful dressing, and opting for a pair of bold linen shorts and a matching top in a fun hue is an easy way to bring some color into your wardrobe. Meghan wears an oversized blazer over matching belted linen shorts and ties the look together with a plain white tank and a simple clutch. Let your clothes do all the talking for you when you go bold.
