Meghan Markle stays winning. The Duchess of Sussex is making moves, living life on her terms, and achieving fashion icon status. Markle’s most recent outfits have me reevaluating everything I know about pants and I’m being totally serious. Her pants game is that strong.
It takes a lot for a pair of pants to outshine Prince Harry’s devilishly good looks, but that’s exactly what happened *twice* as the Duke and Duchess of Sussex attended charity events in Manchester, England and Dusseldorf, Germany. On both occasions, Meghan Markle made retro pants seem totally modern and I could not look away.
The pants, designed by Brandon Maxwell, were gorgeous in motion. Historically, I’ve stuck to skinny styles in both jeans and slacks, but seeing the Suits alum strutting in a pair of retro wide-legged slacks has me Googling wide-legged styles within my own price range.
The day before my life was changed by the duchess’ styling choices in Germany, Markle was the keynote speaker at the One Young World Summit in Manchester. For the event on Monday, Sept. 5, the duchess wore a monochromatic ensemble with, yes, another pair of retro, pleated pants.
I know it’s just a pair of pants, but just look at how they fit and move. It’s effortless and regal and I need a pair of loose-fitting slacks right now. While the Duke and Duchess of Sussex headed back to California on Tuesday, I can’t wait for her next style masterclass.
