18 Zara Finds That Will Give You the "Meghan Markle Effect"

Jul 24 2018 - 8:10am

It's not crazy to think Meghan Markle [1] might hit the racks at Zara — especially if she takes a page out of Kate Middleton's book [2]. In fact, it's not at all far-fetched when you consider that the retailer's latest lineup happens to include a few items that made us think, "That's so Meghan." So we hit the retailer to do some serious business, scanning the virtual shelves with an eye out for the key pieces to channel the Duchess of Sussex's signature style [3]. These 18 finds are the ones we suspect Meghan might add to her own cart, boat-neck dresses [4], sleek blazers, and essential day dresses included.

The Inspiration

Meghan wore this elegant but laid-back button-down and trousers to Wimbledon in July 2018.

The style star keeps it elegant but plays with proportion and silhouettes like she did in this cape dress at a concert for the queen's 92nd birthday.

A trench-style silhouette, like the one Meghan chose for an event in April 2018, is one the royal gravitates toward often.

For her casual looks, Meghan relies on elevated outerwear to pull together her outfit and dress it up.

Go figure, the star can pull off tailored suits as easily as a fitted dress. Something like this Givenchy number is a must for getting her sophisticated-cool look.

Meghan looks for sheath dresses with just the hint of a sculptural hem or boat neck to keep things interesting.

The Pieces

Finish this Puffy Sleeved Dress [5] ($70) with neutral pumps to channel Meghan's classic, elegant vibe.

A menswear-style button-down like this Long Shirt [6] ($50) is one of Meghan's staples.

An Off the Shoulder Dress [7] ($70) is one of Meghan's go-tos.

Pair this Striped Blouse With Pocket [8] ($50) with ballet flats and distressed skinnies, just like Meghan would.

Throw on this Lightweight Coat [9] ($46) over anything to channel Meghan's chic outerwear.

Picture these Striped Wide Leg Pants [10] ($70) with a button-down or plain white t-shirt and tell me Meghan wouldn't wear the look.

A classic silhouette like this Striped Shirt Dress [11] ($70) is something Meghan keeps in rotation.

You can't complete your Meghan-inspired look without a pair of sky-high pumps, like these Black Metallic Pumps [12] ($50).

For an evening, we could picture Meghan wearing this Tuxedo Dress [13] ($100) with sleek heels.

Meghan's proven she knows her way around a suit, so a Basic Blazer [14] ($50) is undoubtedly an essential.

. . . and you can't re-create Meghan's great suit without tailored Pants [15] ($46).

Pair this Boat Neck Blazer Top [16] ($100) with jeans or wide-leg pants for a Meghan-inspired twist on dressing up.

We suspect Meghan has a closet full of classic, skinny-fit denim with just a hint of distressing, like these Kent Blue Jeans [17] ($50).

There's something classic and also entirely fresh about these Fabric Ankle Boots [18] ($90), just like Meghan.

Meghan's been known to wear a cape dress, so why not a Cape Jacket [19] ($100)? This one would pair easily with denim and heels.

Elegant, with a hint of sex appeal, this Long Buttoned Skirt [20] ($50) just needs a blouse and heels to take it from work to a night out — and give 'em Meghan vibes when you do.

The structure of this Striped Vest [21] ($70) would change up a basic denim outfit in a way we could totally picture on Meghan.

Make like Meghan, and outfit your casualwear with a chic Hat [22] ($36).
