We are in September, and one thing is clear: Meghan Markle is the name that continues to command fashion conversations. She has slipped back into the limelight with ease, giving viewers a glimpse into her cosy California world and reappearing on Instagram in effortlessly chic looks. The fashion girlies have lapped up every style moment the Duchess of Sussex has served. In the current landscape, no one is doing stealth wealth or quiet luxury quite like Meghan. Her simple button-down shirts have evolved into an iconic wardrobe signature. When she relaunched her lifestyle business, As Ever, its Instagram feed in February set the tone, and by March it had already featured a short clip of Meghan in Montecito. She wore a crisp white linen button-down with fitted blue denim, a look that radiated laid-back Californian ease, but also unmistakably Meghan.
Now she is back on screen with the second season of With Love, Meghan, which premiered on Netflix on 26 August. The series feels warm and homely, the kind of show where you imagine the scent of cinnamon loaves and roasted tomatoes reaching you through the screen. But beyond recipes and cosy kitchen shots, Meghan delivers something equally delicious: wearable outfit inspiration. The button-down shirts paired with denim are back in rotation, crisp cottons and clean lines making their return. Naturally, striped button-downs receive special attention.
In one look, she is seen walking along the beach in cropped, well-fitted jeans, layered with a tan trench coat thrown over a striped shirt. The silhouette is relaxed but polished, casual but intentional. In another moment, she appears in her sunlit kitchen wearing a blue-and-white striped button-down styled with a French tuck into dark-wash denim. It is the kind of outfit that translates effortlessly into daily wardrobes, and it is a style she has also worn standing beside Prince Harry.
Quiet luxury has long been her signature, made sharper by her choices in accessories. She tends to reach for delicate, minimalist jewellery, each piece understated but undeniably expensive, often rare. The refined styling is not accidental, either. Her stealth-wealth aesthetic has been carefully curated with the expertise of Hollywood stylist Jamie Mizrahi, a collaboration that ensures Meghan remains a global reference point for modern, polished, everyday fashion.
