Meghan Markle traded Montecito for Midtown, New York, today. The Duchess of Sussex was joined by her husband, Prince Harry, for the Time100 Summit.
But even though she was thousands of miles from home, Meghan brought her California style with her. The royal wore a tan suit from Ralph Lauren – a two-button blazer with strong shoulders and a pair of ultra-wide-legged trousers. While a perfectly businesslike choice, it was the lightweight silk-linen blend and partially open white button-up shirt that gave the look an air of relaxation.

The Duchess walked the line between business and casual with her well-coordinated accessories. She matched her warm brown pointy-toe pumps to her belt and added a smattering of jewellery, including gold hoops and a mixed metal stack of bracelets.
Next time you find yourself stuck in a business-casual rut, take a cue from Meghan: try formal silhouettes in more relaxed colours and fabrics, and pull it all together with your accessories.
