Fashion Gifts For the Girl Who Loves Meghan and Kate and Just Wants to Look Great
If you know someone who set her alarm clock for Princess Eugenie's wedding ceremony, scooped up the Strathberry bag Meghan Markle made famous, and is probably wearing the same Outland Denim as the duchess right now, you can stop searching for her holiday gift. Of course, not everything the British royals wear is affordable, but we rounded up pieces we know are mainstays in their wardrobes and shopped brands so many of them own (hello, Gucci and Erdem!). Plus, there are plenty of kitschy tees here with crowns and Princess Diana graphics that she'll treasure forever. Read on for the "ultimate" in guides when it comes to the royals. If she's serious about Kate Middleton's pearl drop earrings, then we are, too.
A Sapphire Coat
Gift her gorgeous outerwear, like the Storets Elizabeth Big Coat ($198), which could also double as a dress. This is a look any royal can get in line with — especially when blue is such a power color.
A Blatantly Royal Tee
Could you be more clear that you love the royals? With this Truly Madly Deeply Crown Baby Tee ($29), we doubt it.
The Earrings Meghan Wears
Meghan wore these Adina Reyter 14k Gold Three Diamond Amigos Curve Posts ($498) throughout her royal tour to Australia.
A Black Turtleneck
A cozy black turtleneck is a staple in most royal figures' wardrobes. We know for a fact that this Everlane The Cashmere Waffle Square Turtleneck ($155) is comfortable.
The Sneakers Meghan Wore on Her Royal Tour
Meghan convinced us these Veja Esplar Leather Sneakers ($128) must be totally comfortable on her royal tour in Australia.
A Vintage Clutch With a Story
Remember when Sarah Ferguson wore a special Manolo Blahnik clutch to her daughter Eugenie's wedding? The vintage accessory held a lot of meaning, and your gal can start her own story with this Manolo Blahnik Silk Bag ($685, originally $710).
Leather Boots For Functional Outings
Meghan wore a pair of J.Crew's ankle boots during her royal tour, and we're big fans of the brand's Sherpa-Lined Chelsea Boots in Leather ($250), which are perfect for when you're stepping outdoors.
A Touch of Gucci
Princess Beatrice wears the Italian brand's gowns, Kate Middleton famously wore a tweed Gucci sheath, and Meghan toted a Gucci clutch on her Australian tour. We say, gift her something iconic, like the Gucci Dionysus Web Stripe Leather Wallet on a Chain ($1,450).
A Burberry Trench
Trench coats are never "back in style." In London, they're classic, and the Burberry Kensington Long Trench Coat ($1,990) couldn't be a more appropriate gift.
Espadrille Wedges
Plenty of royals own classic espadrille wedges for casual, vacation-like outfits. Kate Middleton even wears her pair with skinny jeans. The Soludos Wedge Lace-Up Espadrille Sandal ($95) is the perfect example.
The Brand of Flats Meghan's Been Wearing
As huge fans of Rothy's, we were superexcited to see Meghan sport the brand on her tour. Try the Maritime Navy Point ($145) if you want a shoe that will go with everything.
An Ultrasophisticated Sheath
We can picture this Zara Belted Sheath ($40) on almost any royal. Although Kate Middleton usually reserves the color black for somber events and services, the modest fit is just right.
A Neutral-Toned Wool Trench
We think Meghan would definitely approve of this J.ING Arlene Coat ($385).
A Girlie Envelope Clutch
She'll love the gorgeous shade of this Kate Spade New York Wedding Belles Charla Clutch ($198).
A Princess Diana Tee
Off-White's Tribute 1 Princess Diana T-Shirt ($249, originally $415) will forever be a classic in the wardrobe of the gal who knows all about the line of the throne.
A Pantsuit We Could Easily Picture on Meghan
Meghan has been a fan of fancy pants for evening events, and this Club Monaco Kessi Jumpsuit ($350) is one we can easily picture on the duchess.
A Striped T-Shirt
Kate's worn a striped tee underneath her blazer plenty of times, but a layering piece like the Madewell Whisper Cotton Turtleneck ($35) belongs in anyone's wardrobe.
Neutral Toned Pumps
Most royals own a pair of these babies for everyday occasions. Meghan and Kate have both worn Stuart Weitzman before, and we suggest trying out the brand's Tippi Pump ($398-$455).
An A-Line Dress That Bares a Modest Hint of Skin
The royals like to show off their shoulders every now and then, especially for an evening event. Shop this Boohoo Bardot Skater Dress ($35) to achieve a similar look.
A Bag From Strathberry
Meghan put Strathberry on every fashion girl's radar, and we're particularly struck by the shade of this Strathberry Mini Crescent Leather Clutch ($530).
Meghan's Go-To Heels
Meghan owns Aquazzura heels in multiple colors and silhouettes, but she seems to wear the Aquazzura Deneuve Bow Pointy Toe Pump ($750) most often.
A Pair of Stretch Skinny Jeans
Outland Denim has been Meghan Markle's go-to brand, but Kate Middleton also wears similar Zara skinnies quite often. We'd suggest trying out the Outland Harriet in Black ($195).
Pearl Drop Earrings
Kate Middleton reaches for her delicate pearl drops time and time again. While she owns a lovely pair by Annoushka, we love how affordable these Nadri Drop Earrings ($30) are!
An Erdem-esque Look
Princess Eugenie would definitely approve of this ASOS DESIGN Embroidered Minidress With High Neck and Open Back ($87), which looks extremely similar to the design she sported for her engagement photos. Kate Middleton is also a fan of Erdem and its florals.
A Princess Diana Wall Calendar
You can flip through some of Princess Diana's most iconic fashion and beauty looks when you pick up this Princess Diana 2019 Wall Calendar ($13).
A Quirky Princess Tee
If she loves the royals, she loves the magical idea of being a princess in general. Gift her this hilarious Zara Disney Cinderella Tee ($26).
A Structured Blazer
You can wear this Women's Simply Vera Vera Wang Lace-Up Blazer ($48, originally $64) over pants and dresses alike.
