The 5 basics that Meghan Markle swears by

Meghan Markle with sunglasses and trench coat, best basics

If anyone has always looked amazing since the first meeting, it is Meghan Markle. You might think: with an army of stylists, designer pieces, and a shopping budget with a capital S, that's not so hard. Sure, you have a small point there. But guess what? Her biggest fashion secret is within everyone's shopping reach. The 5 ‘boring’ basics that not only Meghan Markle, but also Anna Wintour every fashion season swears by again.

1. The classic trench coat

When it comes to outerwear, both Meghan and Anna Wintour prefer to forever don a trench coat. With a belt at the waist à la Anna or casually loose combined with a beauty of a dress like Meghan: the classic trench coat is a true classic that forever earns you extra fashion points.

2. Nude on the feet

Perhaps one of the most important style lessons from the modeling world: invest in nude pointed-toe pumps. Not only infinitely beautiful to combine on a daily basis, the nude color combined with the model also creates the illusion of longer legs. Still in doubt? Google Meghan's most worn pumps for a moment because they are, yes: super nude.
