21 of Meghan Markle's best fall fashion looks
- Meghan Markle is known for her feminine and elegant sense of style.
- Whether you're yearning for a classic tailored coat, a casual jean jacket, or a pair of suede boots, it's never too late to adopt some of the duchess' best fall fashion looks.
- Her style selections over the years — including faux fur, leather, and autumnal colors — serve as inspiration as the weather gets colder.
Meghan Markle had mastered the Los Angeles-meets-royal style long before she and Prince Harry left the royal family and moved to Santa Barbara.
Although the Duchess of Sussex's autumn season will be sunnier this year, her past looks featuring classic coats, suede boots, and touches of autumnal colors are sure to inspire your fall wardrobe.
A fan of both luxury and high-street brands, Markle isn't scared of taking fashion risks, and some of her outfits from the last decade are even resurfacing in this season's trends.
Here are 21 of Meghan Markle's best fall looks.
While this slinky, burnt orange cocktail dress is probably not something Meghan Markle would wear today, the color is perfect for fall.
Last year, Etsy released its trend report and named burnt orange as the color of 2019.
Early in her career, Meghan Markle embodied sophisticated, feminine glamour in a teal blouse and pencil skirt.
She looked chic during an appearance in 2013.
She frequented New York Fashion Week before joining the royal family.
Dark, autumnal florals were a huge trend last fall and into 2020.
In September 2013, Meghan Markle turned heads at New York Fashion Week in an emerald green, suede minidress by Rachel Zoe.
This suede minidress seamlessly transitions from those late summer days into fall.
This green sweater layered over a classic button-up is perfect for cozy fall days.
Queen Elizabeth reportedly prefers women to wear skirts or dresses around her instead of pants. Perhaps we'll see more edgy looks like this from Markle in the years to come.
Leather trousers aren't the only fall trend Meghan's explored in the past. This gold-studded jacket may have been worn in February, but it could easily be part of a fall wardrobe.
Meghan also styled a leather jacket for an interview with Tory Burch. When asked about the inspiration behind her now-defunct lifestyle blog, The Tig, Markle said, "In the past few years, my access to fashion and beauty has broadened, and I have started to understand things in a different way. That feeling of, 'Oh … right, so clothes aren't just fabric, they're art.'"
This faux-fur coat is the pinnacle of fall fashion. In 2014, Markle paired the off-white coat with a denim miniskirt, pastel pink top, and rose-colored clutch.
French Vogue recently named realistic-looking, faux-fur coats as one of its fall/winter 2020 coat trends to watch.
For this fall look, Markle paired a burgundy evening gown with a relaxed, worn-in leather jacket.
The Los Angeles native looks like a total it-girl in this edgy look.
She's also a fan of the monochrome look. Here, she pairs a matching skirt and crop top with a cream leather jacket draped over her shoulders.
While some say you can't wear white after Labor Day, we disagree. This stylish and sophisticated look marked a turn in Markle's style towards a more royal-approved look.
When Meghan Markle and Prince Harry announced their engagement in November 2017, all eyes were on the glowing couple, Markle's sparkling engagement ring, and her white coat.
The Line the Label coat was reportedly renamed the "Meghan" and sold out within minutes.
"We are incredibly honored that Meghan chose to wear a Line coat to mark this very special occasion," John Muscat, Line the Label's president and co-founder, said in an official statement. "Meghan has an effortlessly chic sense of style, which we've always admired. We know this particular coat is one of her favorite pieces so we have officially decided to name it the 'Meghan.' We are elated for Meghan and wish her a lifetime of happiness with Prince Harry."
Meghan Markle knows her way around a fall coat, but her use of fall accessories shouldn't go unnoticed.
While attending the royal family's traditional Christmas Day church service at St Mary Magdalene Church in Norfolk, Markle wore a $1,495 camel-colored tie coat by Sentaler, brown suede boots, matching hat, and a tan and red Chloé bag. While this look worked for the Christmas celebrations, the neutral colors are also perfect for the fall season.
Another eye-catching fall accessory enjoyed by the duchess was this emerald green leather bag by British leather goods company DeMellier.
Markle appears to prefer small saddlebags as opposed to clutches and totes. This small DeMellier crossbody is $395.
During her engagement, Meghan Markle showcased simple, stylish coats throughout the fall and winter seasons.
Although the duchess wore this sophisticated coat by Mackage during a surprise visit to Northern Ireland in March, it could easily work for fall.
For an early October appearance, Meghan Markle wore an emerald pencil skirt and forest green blouse.
While the green $595 Hugo Boss skirt and $99 green silk blouse from & Other Stories are currently both unavailable, leather skirts are perfect for the chilly fall weather.
A cozy plaid coat is a must-have for the fall and winter season.
This green plaid coat certainly made a statement on the duchess' trip to Scotland in February 2018.
Markle perfectly matched her olive green boots with her purse.
On an official visit to Bristol, England, Meghan Markle stepped out in a pair of suede, olive green boots by Sarah Flint, which retail for $695.
Nothing says apple picking and bonfires like a simple jean jacket.
While Meghan Markle is perhaps more typically known for wearing elegant dresses, sophisticated coats, and heels, she isn't afraid of a more casual look. Markle wore a button-down shirt, skinny jeans, and a denim jacket during her tour of South Africa.
Meghan Markle's trench-style dress is a perfect example of a transitional wardrobe piece.
The sleeveless trench dress is perfect for summer, but if paired with a light turtleneck and pair of boots, it can easily work in the fall.
Meghan Markle also looks chic in a shirt dress.
This green button-up dress that Markle wore while on tour in South Africa is a perfect example of royal-meets-LA style.
A quintessential Meghan Markle fall look wouldn't be complete without monochrome and a touch of leather.
In October 2019, Markle paired this burgundy leather pencil skirt by Hugo Boss with a matching V-neck sweater.
Nothing is more exemplary of Meghan Markle's fall fashion than this all-camel outfit complete with a stylish coat.
For this event, Markle paired a stunning, brown silk skirt from Massimo Dutti with a simple brown turtleneck, Reiss camel-colored coat, and brown velvet Jimmy Choo pumps. Though the look made its debut in January, it's perfectly in line with this year's fall trends of midi skirts and fun textures like velvet.
