Like fellow royals Kate Middleton and Queen Letizia of Spain, Meghan Markle knows the power of a good budget-friendly ensemble. The Duchess of Sussex—who turns 38 today!—has stepped out on numerous occasions wearing accessible pieces, ranging from her choice of clothing to accessories. She shows how forgoing designer labels doesn’t have to mean sacrificing style; no matter the price point, she is always in outfits that are polished, sophisticated, and appropriate for the setting.
Markle has a variety of affordable ready-to-wear in her present-day wardrobe. Earlier this year, she color-blocked a purple dress by Aritzia—marked down to $49.99 before it sold out—against a bright red coat by the Canadian brand Sentaler. Given outerwear is her strength, she’s also worn some great styles by J.Crew and Mackage that don’t break the bank. Meanwhile, a more summery look saw the Duchess slip on Reformation’s Pineapple dress ($218) in a breezy striped linen. Psst: It s still available now, too.
As for accessories? Markle has been spotted multiple times carrying Everlane’s stylish leather Day Market Tote, a perfect work bag that retails for only $175 (it’s been worn by other stars as well, such as Angelina Jolie). Meanwhile, for footwear, she’s also favored white low-top sneakers by Vejas, an ethical shoe label whose minimal styles hover around the $100 mark; she sported them to the 2018 Invictus Games.
