8 Of Meghan Markle’s Favorite Affordable Brands, And What To Buy From Each
by Caitlin White
Meghan Markle is a newly minted duchess—but that doesn’t mean she always spends her money like one. Sure, she loves her luxury designers: Her wedding gown was Givenchy, she loves her Mother jeans, her canary yellow dress was a Brandon Maxwell splurge, and she’s always rocking Sarah Flint shoes. But Meghan isn’t always shelling out big money to look as great as she does. Some of her favorite brands are everyday affordable, and we picked out some Meghan Markle-inspired picks from each of her go-to labels that you can totally afford.

Baublebar
Before Meghan started dating Prince Harry and had to shut down her social media accounts, she was gushing on Instagram about her Baublebar Peacemaker ring. The ring, she says, was a gift from her good friend and fellow actress Olivia Palermo, who collaborated with the brand. Since then, the ring became so popular it has been going in and out of stock. It’s currently back, but probably not for long, so hurry! (And maybe grab one for your BFF like Olivia, too.)

J.Crew
Meghan has been sporting affordable J.Crew items for years, and this year she brought a super classic navy J.Crew coat into her royal wardrobe. Not surprisingly, soon after her appearance in it on International Women’s Day this year, the coat sold out. Don’t worry though, because the brand has loads more items with that Meghan Markle style. We adore this bestselling, navy sweater blazer—and we think Meghan would, too.

Meghan showed up to the Queen’s Christmas party in a luxe, velvet dress from the affordable Canadian designer Club Monaco. She’s been a friend of the brand for a long time, and she’s even got Harry in on the Club Monaco love. We feel like Meghan would love this similar wrap silhouette in this summery shade and style.

Ralph Lauren
A classic American brand for an American girl-turned-British royal. Just recently, she wore a Ralph Lauren boatneck dress to celebrate the christening of her nephew Prince Louis, William and Kate’s newest royal baby. While her exact dress isn’t available, Macy’s has a similar silhouette in the Lauren by Ralph Lauren brand, and it’s in a totally Meghan neutral color.

Everlane
Everlane’s Day Market Tote is one of Meghan Markle’s favorite go-to bags. She even wore it during her first public appearance out with now-husband Prince Harry. The Everlane bag comes in a variety of classic, sophisticated colors like navy, blush, and, of course, black, but right now we’re hooked on this cognac-colored style, which makes a perfect transition from summer to fall.

Reebok
Yes, the classic athletic brand that you’ve been sporting since grade school is also a favorite of Meghan’s. (Stars, they’re just like us!) She’s often seen wearing the brand’s classic, all-white sneakers because, frankly, they go with everything. We adore the white-out look with the gum sole of these Reebok sneakers, and they’re super on trend this season with the whole “dad sneakers” comeback.

Aritzia
This Canadian retailer is a Meghan Markle fave, and luckily the store has made its way to the U.S. as well. The olive trench coat she wore to the Invictus Games with Harry is still available on Aritzia’s site, though when everyone starts shopping for fall, we see it going pretty quickly. No surprise, it’s a perfect style for the crisper weather.

Madewell
For years, Meghan Markle’s Madewell Panama Hat has been a mainstay favorite in her wardrobe. Pre-Royal Wedding, Meghan was wearing her favorite hat all of Instagram, but she hasn’t put it away now that she’s a duchess. She’s worn it with adorable sundresses to watch her husband Harry’s polo matches. Sadly, the hat has sold out (though you can keep checking back for a re-stock!), but the brand has loads of adorable hats that have that summer classic style. We love this straw one, in particular.
