Since her engagement to Prince Harry was officially announced, all eyes have been on Meghan Markle. So far, we've loved seeing her ditch the royal protocol and make her own rules, and we've even picked up a trick or two along the way. What we've perhaps enjoyed the most, however, is the fact that, future duchess or not, Meghan's style really reminds us of our own. In fact, her biggest wardrobe staple is something that most of us already own. If you've ever doubted the power of a simple sweater, then Meghan's here to remind you that basic definitely doesn't mean boring. Ahead, take a look at all the times Meghan looked effortlessly chic in a jumper, and shop similar options for yourself.

The Bridal Sweater

When Harry and Meghan shared their engagement portraits, we were immediately drawn to the bride-to-be's white sweater. While more laid back than Meghan's stunning Ralph & Russo couture gown, the Victoria Beckham piece allowed her engagement ring to take center stage in the gorgeous pictures, proving that simplicity sometimes really is key.

The Must Have Sweater

When Meghan made her first official visit to Scotland, we all fell in love with her practical (and adorable!) crossbody bag. But the key piece in her outfit wasn't her Strathberry purse, nor her tartan Burberry coat — no, it was her simple, black Wolford turtleneck sweater. Paired with Veronica Beard pants ($395), it allowed Meghan to stay warm whilst looking incredibly stylish, proving that you really can't go wrong with a black sweater.

The Boatneck Sweater

Meghan loves her jet-black outfits, but she always manages to keep things interesting by switching up the fabrics and the necklines of her sweaters. On an official visit in London, the royal fiancée wore a black boatneck sweater which she smartly tucked into palazzo pants.

The Cropped One

Although they might not seem like it, cropped sweaters can actually be incredibly versatile. They go as well with high-waisted jeans as they do with high-waisted skirts and body-hugging dresses, and if you take a cue from Meghan and stick to dark colors, you'll have no difficulty in pairing one with your favorite clothes.

A Little Bit of Color

While Meghan does wear a lot of all-black outfits, her wardrobe isn't completely devoid of color. Paired with leather pants and a white shirt, this khaki green sweater looked both sophisticated and fun thanks to its zigzag pattern. This olive shade is also perfect for all those who'd like to inject a bit more color into their wardrobes without having to wear something too bright.
