That is so very true! Maybe we could find alternatives to the style?

kim

Wait! Can't forget the over $600 HAT!

I realize long pants dragging on the ground is "in style", but I think these styles are not complimenting.

About $2,280 USD, not including taxes etc..it's not Ralph Lauren it Meghan. Someone needs to put their foot down, I mean another brand like Zara which always has nice items no it's Victoria Beckham $1000 (in US Dollars) sweater, even J. Crew is considered high-end their just have a sales low this years. How about Alexander McQueen, nope she has to choose Givenchy which is one of the few French Designers to have Haute Couture couture is about the 4th most expensive brand in the fashion industry.
This event is a good example a casual outing to see tennis and she needs to spend over $2,000 dollars(not including accessories especially jewelry $6,000 or $4,000, $12,000! Someone needs to put their foot down.
Her budget for her two day tour cost about the amount Kate spends on her 6 or 7 day tours. Who does she think she is, anything under $2,500 which is as low as she goes fashion wise to disgusting to touch her body while Kate embraces the it's cute I'll wear it who cares if it's from the gap, and I am not saying Kate is doesn't wear expensive clothes but, she goes from high to low, re wears her beautiful jewelry collection, Meghan seems to have a 'this is too old to wear,' but she purchased it the week before last. (not including accessories and $6,000 or $4,000, by some miracle $500 dollars on jewelry. Just my two cents, at least she re wears her Cartier studs, Sliver Lining?

Why are you getting so worked up? You are definitely not a British tax payer, as your English is not good enough. You are one of those people who visit nearly every blog about Meghan on the internet, because it is your aim to trash her. I wonder why your comment was published.

Conny, everybody is entitled to their opinion as long as it does not attack other readers. Please respect that and do not attack a commenter's grammar or English. I only published your response to remind others to be respectful and I do allow discussion of outfit cost so long as it remains civil.

Alison, I agree. I didn't realize Harry was so materialistic, allowing her to spend so much. All a waste.

Tess

Megan came into the marriage with her own money and designers (Ralph Lauren), who I think is a close friend. So stop worrying.

becca

I like how she experiments, but that also means not everything is a 100% win. The palazzo pant hem wasn't convincing for me.

@Tess, just want to clear up a misconception... just bc she was an anctress doesn't mean that she has that much money. Based on co-star salaries, it's estimated her annual salary maxing out at 450K and that was only at the height of the show, so not like a 7-year accumulation. That's a lot but also not a lot, given her social circle. Her dad did pay for her education so no student loans or debt eating away at her salary, but she was never sitting on millions. Also guessing why she went high street with the dress for the wedding of Daisy in August- came from their private funds rather than the public purse (Charles' Duchy of Cornwall proceeds).

Meghan is slaying! I adore Kate but she is so predictable and vanilla compared to Meghan. I love Meghan's confidence to experiment with different looks. She reminds me of Queen Letizia in that way. I know the wide leg pants won't be to everybody's taste and it's something I personally would not wear, but I can appreciate how tres chic Meghan looks!

Annie

15/7/2018 07:53:37 am

I really take offensive to the "so predictable and vanilla" comment. Both women are individuals with completely different styles. Women comparing one woman's style to another is unnecessary. Both Duchesses look lovely and they look like themselves. Meghan looks like she is settling into her new life and Kate has my full admiration for being a new mother with a 12 week old baby putting herself out in full view of the public. Bravo to both women.

I agree, but the length gets me ? They must have been filthy by the end of the day. And at $1600!thats crazy!

Kodi

15/7/2018 02:28:43 am

Very chic á la Marlene Dietrich beauty moment. Her hair was a bit too messy - just like the neck of the shirt- when they arrived. Kate has a very boring outfit besides Meghan.

Kodi

15/7/2018 02:37:46 am

I think she should have to wea more colours, blue is definetly fit her. I think she Deep Winter type, so she would beautiful in royalblue, fuchsia, magenta, burgundy, petrol and white, white... I think.

Andy

15/7/2018 02:57:42 am

Aside from the price tag for the pieces, Meghan still dresses as if she is an actress, not a new member of the royal family. I get that the pieces may be deemed "chic" or whatever other cute term, but that is not the right look for her new role. I am not suggesting she has to follow the DoC's lead on a more conservative style, but for goodness sakes, at least hem those pants and fix the shirt collar. The messy bun is enough "messiness," the whole outfit doesn't have to look so messy! I can't say I like this, especially for a "duchess."

Abbey A

The whole outfit was unusual and looked untidy. Agree what is it with the hair, the collar half turned and imagine how dirty the hem on the white pants would of been by the end of the event. The shirt looked too big I don't know what Chic is either but the overall look was messy.

Annie

15/7/2018 03:28:12 am

I love Meghan style chic classy and
this woman is just BREATHTAKING!!!

Jessica

15/7/2018 05:08:01 am

Nope. I don’t like this at all..she looks to be trying too hard. First..the pants don’t fit correctly...she needs them hemmed...as they should fit like the model photo. I have a personal pet peeve of whites not matching in outfits...her pants should have been a little whiter and I would have liked it a lot more. In general...more fitted looks are better on her...too much fabric overwhelms her.

I just like the way Meghan dresses. She can wear almost everything and I like it ...The Lauren Cotton Shirt would be nice to have but my purse says no :(. Waiting for Mimic Meghan for less :).

Elizabeth (Admin)

15/7/2018 04:39:59 pm

Edith, I hope to have a Mimic Meghan outfit up by mid week :). Unfortunately I have a backlog of blog posts for Queen Letizia to get through and then I'll come back to this post x

Elizabeth (Admin)

15/7/2018 10:57:31 pm

Edith, I just added a Mimic Meghan outfit to the blog :) I aim to have more options available for each product by the end of the week x

Would you be posting more minim Meghan outfits for this outfit?

Edith

16/7/2018 08:55:40 am

Thank you Elizabeth! The Polo Shirt looks quite close to the original Collection one. Maybe the blue is slightly lighter but still very nice and for a reasonable price:).

Today I found the Bengal-Stripe Cotton Shirt in a store in town and tried it on. The shirt is really very nice. It has a beautiful colour and a perfect cut and fabric. But as I expected, size 4 was too big and it looks like that size 2 is sold out because it's not available on websites nor in stores any longer. We are going on vacation this week and the shirt would have been a perfect summer garment :).

Conny

15/7/2018 08:10:26 pm

I get the cotton shirt at the Ralph Lauren site reduced from 129,95 Euro to 64,50 Euro.

I love this look! How does she keep the tucked shirt from looking bunched and showing lumps through the top of those white pants?

Katerina

15/7/2018 10:31:50 pm

Her shirt did show lumps, just not on those photos. If you look for one of her walking down the stairs to get to her seat, you'll see that dress malfunctions happen for duchesses too.

Elaine

Great outfit from top to almost bottom. It would have been perfect if her pants weren't puddling on the ground.

Jeanne

15/7/2018 08:17:07 am

Does Meghan have a fashion stylist and if so, who is he/she? With all the engagements and events on her calendar, how far in advance is Meghan's outfits planned out?

Elizabeth (Admin)

15/7/2018 04:37:44 pm

Jeanna, it's reported that Meghan's close friend Jessica Mulroney is her stylist. Many of the looks Jessica has sourced have been from collections yet to hit the racks. I wold assume her wardrobe is planned as soon as the event is marked in Meghan's calendar!

Tipi

15/7/2018 09:20:18 pm

I'm almost certain Meghan pays for her own wardrobe so the cost isn't on the tax payer. She can spend what she wants on clothes. I love that she is more adventurous with fashion than her SIL and that she wears so many trousers outfits. Although I love her in skirts and dresses she really looks great in trousers and tailored suits.

Debra Agbalog

28/7/2018 03:28:28 am

I did read that the royal family purchases everything that they wear. They are not allowed free fashions to promote designers everything is purchased. No gifts.

Becca

27/8/2018 04:52:38 am

Where do you get your information? What I've read is that yes, both Duchesses wardrobes are indirectly paid for by the taxpayer. The cost for wardrobes on official engagements disbursed by Charles's Duchy of Cornwall and indirectly on the taxpayer through his preferential tax bracket that was changed not so long ago. That being said, she'd be a fool to use her own money as she's not a multi-millionaire to be spending 5K on couture every month and she is working. I think it's fine because Meghan looks always very classy!

Mary

16/7/2018 02:23:26 am

Terrible outfit on such a hot day to go watch tennis. She’s insane. And no earrings. Really? Her last couple of engagements she was doing really good. Waste of money, I hope she got this outfit for free from Ralph Lauren.

16/7/2018 03:51:37 pm

My problem is that she's spending a fortune on pieces that will go out of style within a year and then will never wear them again. Comparatively, Kate might be more boring/safe but she can get her cost-per-wears down because her expensive pieces are able to be re-worn across the years. The last time flared pants were 'in' was the 90s, no? Maybe we'll see her wear them again in another 25 years....

Not her worst outfit tho, I must admit! The blue suits her, would love a gown with this colour incorporated into it! Bring on the formal affairs for Meghan

Lucy

16/7/2018 06:08:55 pm

Did she ever worn the hat during the day or just kept it in her hand???? Nobody else wearing hats? Love the shirt, not with that pants though. Blue suits her. Maybe if the shirt was long, like a shirt dress, it would be more fitting. Now that would look stunning with some cute shoes and maybe a thin belt. The pants is not my favourite. I do like her style overall though. Just too expensive as well as if she is trying too hard.

Debra

30/7/2018 12:06:59 am

I read that no one is allowed to wear hats if you are seated in the royal box. It might block the view for others. Common courtesy. Odd that no one mentioned this to her.

I don't quite know what to think of Meghan's wardrobe, sometimes it's hit, other it's a miss. A clear hit (2nd wedding dress, Givenchy suit from Ireland, Carolina Herrera), miss(Oscar De La Renta, grey Roland Mouret from Ireland).I do think she chooses wrong pieces sometimes, that will go out of style within a year and then will never be able to rewear them. Another thing is their prices! Her closet choices are a bit much for me and I start to dislike the word 'bespoke'. I really like to find her iconic pieces in stores and dreaming to get them...

Might be posted in another post but I wish she sported some Irish designers for their Ireland visit.

Not her worst outfit though, I must admit! Kind of reminiscent of one sported by Diana. The blue suits her. But my favourite is still the bright yellow Maxwell. I patiently waiting what she will wear next!

mary

You took every single word right out of my mouth except you were much kinder. Meghan never used to dress like this, even in her regular life. It's was such a hot day that day for Wimbledon and she wears a long sleeve shirt and wide legged pants?

My only conclusion is that Ralph Lauren probably gave her the outfit for free and she's sporting it. It just makes no sense. I don't get her logic on what she wears. The only reasonable explanation is that she just doesn't know how to dress. Her red carpet looks weren't good before anyways.

Lexi

Meghan wore long, wide trousers, with button-ups plenty of times before becoming a royal.

Lynn

17/7/2018 02:32:47 am

I sent a similar inquiry below. I am not expecting you to post both. However, the inquiry is the same-- does anyone know why she isn't wearing earrings-- It may just be me, but I don't visit the grocery store without some studs. And she is petite, so she must be very careful not to wear items that are even a wee bit to large (pants too long and shirt too large). I love her, and feel this is America's greatest loss and England's greatest gain!! Maybe it was to not shine more than Kate.

mary

17/7/2018 11:07:03 pm

Let us not fool ourselves. She most likely forgot to put them on.

Becca

18/7/2018 08:51:26 am

Those trousers are awful. Please bin them Meghan.

Debra

I love the site. I just found you. I enjoy bargain hunting for outfits that match the fashion online. I just found a beautiful Ralph Lauren black waterfall collar wrap coat at Macy's for 100.00 (US dollars). Looking forward to the future sharing with you.

Thank you Elizabeth. I'm having a time trying to locate the blue stripe Lauren shirt. In the US. (The lower priced one, of course). Any suggestions from anyone ?

Thank you for your prompt reply. I really enjoy everything about your blog and all the comments from other fashion lovers. Really inspirational.

Lex

I’m surprised at how horrible you’ve allowed some of these comments to be. Especially the second one. The long rant about the cost of Meghan’s clothing. Speaking about how disgusting she is and comparing her to Kate to bring her down. You said you’ll allow comments as long as they’re respectful but there are many on here (not just the one I pointed out) that are disrespectful and bullying.

Poor Meghan, she is drowning in that bad outfit. Pooled trousers that wrinkle in the front, oversize shirt looks sloppy and not properly tucked in, hair is messy, hat is held awkwardly in the hands. The high plain waistband is not flattering. Whites are mismatched. To me, this look is androgynous and disparate and cheap (although, I understand, it cost a lot of money). I don't care that the daughter of a former Prime Minister (Mulroney) designed it. It's just bad. This look is made even worse by its proximity to classy Kate.

Karen

28/10/2018 04:38:03 pm

I like her change of pace of wearing a dress shirt with pants. However, the white in the shirt clashes with the off white of the pants. Wearing white pants would have been better. Her pants are way too long. Needed to be hemmed shorter.

Your comment will be posted after it is approved.
