The Most Popular Pair Of Jeans Spotted On Meghan Markle
Meghan Markle, also known as the Duchess of Sussex, has been seen in outfits ranging from formal dresses to casual cable-knit sweaters and jeans (via Elle). Her more laidback approach to style has made it easier to emulate than some of her super glamorous looks. Cosmopolitan reports that certain items, such as Strathberry's burgundy bag, sell out within minutes of Markle publicly donning the product.
She was most recently spotted in the U.K. with her husband, Prince Harry, to celebrate Queen Elizabeth's Platinum Jubilee. The wide brim hat the duchess wore for the occasion — designed by Stephen Jones — sold out in hours despite its high price (via Independent). Markle's contribution to the fashion industry doesn't stop at hats, though. Elle U.K. notes that the former "Suits" star sparked a 216% increase in searches for similar pieces to the ones she wore in 2019 alone. Accordingly to the outlet, a more specific 40% increase in searches for "halter-neck dresses" cropped up after Markle appeared in a halter-neck Stella McCartney dress following her royal wedding ceremony.
There's no doubt that the Duchess of Sussex's style is in demand, but there's one pair of jeans in particular that Markle, and her fans, seem to love.
Meghan Markle's favorite jeans are the perfect everyday style
According to Harper's Bazaar, Meghan Markle was first seen wearing these uber-popular jeans at the 2017 Invictus Games. Although skinny jeans are gradually being ditched in favor of looser cuts and fits, Markle's staple pair are as skinny as they come. Featuring a flattering ankle grazer cut, the jeans are called The Looker Ankle and are sold by the brand Mother Denim. Retailing for an eye-watering $228 — or $238 depending on the color you go for — Mother Denim describes them as "a cult-favorite skinny jean" with a "classic 90s-inspired wash." Though expensive, the jeans are made in Los Angeles and feature a high cotton blend of 94%. They also run from sizes 23 to 34, which makes them more inclusive than options offered by other brands. The ankle grazer design gives them more of an updated look and modern feel than traditional skinny jeans.
The Duchess of Sussex isn't the only one who loves skinny jeans, though. Kate Middleton, the Duchess of Cambridge, has long been a fan of this style and has been spotted in these types of jeans on a variety of occasions (via Life & Style). They may not be the preferred cut these days, but skinny jeans are still a royal fashion staple!
Markle's style still influences the public even after her step back from royal duties
It isn't just her jeans we're coveting — Meghan Markle has had some stunning fashion moments over the past few years. Whether the Duchess of Sussex is rocking a crisp white pantsuit or a more casual blazer and jeans look, she always seems put-together with a preppy edge (via Town & Country). Her style breaks away from the more traditional royal fashion mold while still appearing sleek and polished.
No matter what she wears, we can be sure every item is high quality, as the duchess reportedly prizes ethically-made pieces and quality materials. Harper's Bazaar has rounded up some of her all-time favorite brands so you can shop Markle-approved items with a few clicks of your mouse. Best of all, the items are priced for a range of budgets so you won't have to break the bank trying to look as chic as the "Suits" star. On the lower end of the price scale is a gorgeous gold ring by Catbird, which retails for $48 and has been seen on Markle several times. If you have a bit more money to spend, one of the most expensive items favored by the California native is The Cocoon Coat, made by Wilfred at Aritzia. Priced at $328, the coat may have a hefty price tag but it'll keep you warm and cozy during the cold winter months.
