Meghan Markle might be the queen of quiet luxury. But she also knows how to mix high and low fashion like a pro. In her new Netflix series, “With Love, Meghan,” she blends designer pieces with everyday staples, proving that great style is not just about expensive labels. But one moment stands out above the rest. Markle steps out in a pair of Crocs while wearing Princess Diana’s Cartier watch.

It is not often you see a royal in rubber clogs. The last time Crocs and the monarchy crossed paths was probably when Prince Louis ran around in them at a garden party. But Markle makes them look surprisingly chic. She opts for a sleek, hole-free version of the famous shoe, keeping her neutral aesthetic intact.

When paired with her late mother-in-law’s iconic Cartier timepiece, the look is a perfect example of how Markle balances sophistication with everyday comfort.

Meghan / IG / Markle loves mixing affordable pieces with designer favorites. One of her go-to looks in the series pairs a high-end Loro Piana sweater with a simple pair of Zara trousers.

Neutrals, Classics, and a Touch of Luxury

Throughout “With Love, Meghan,” Markle sticks to a refined palette of creamy whites, beiges, and soft pastels. Her wardrobe is filled with relaxed sweaters, tailored trousers, and breezy linen shirts. Outfits that give off effortless California elegance. She moves through each scene in comfortable yet polished pieces, making flower arrangements, cooking, and playing with her kids, all while looking like she stepped out of a lifestyle magazine.

The estranged Duchess of Sussex has long been a fan of J.Crew, and in one episode, she wears a well-worn Baird McNutt Irish linen shirt from the brand while decorating with balloons. The slight wear under the arms? A clear sign it is a piece she truly loves - not just something pulled for a camera-ready outfit.

Mindy Kaling Approves of It!

Markle’s ability to make everyday pieces look expensive has not gone unnoticed. Actress and writer Mindy Kaling, a guest in the series, tells Markle that her fashion sense is one of her favorite things about her. She even admits to searching for Markle’s coats online, only to find them sold out.

The Duchess of Sussex keeps things real in her response. She acknowledges that while some of her wardrobe includes designer pieces, she also wears plenty of accessible fashion. Her closet is filled with staples from brands like J.Crew and La Ligne. It proves that mixing high and low is a skill she has mastered.

She even wears a simple sweater shell from J.Crew, pairing it with stylish, under-$200 jeans. A rare mix of luxury and affordability.

Jewelry Fit for the Duchess, But Not Entirely Out of Reach

Markle’s jewelry collection is undeniably enviable. She wears stunning Cartier pieces, delicate diamond rings, and elegant gold bracelets throughout the series. But she also includes a few budget-friendly gems, like under-$250 knotted earrings from Anine Bing.

Of course, some outfits lean more into her royal past. A striking Carolina Herrera polka dot dress and an elegant Emilia Wickstead ship-patterned gown add moments of classic sophistication. But even in these designer looks, Markle carries herself with the same relaxed energy that makes her style feel so approachable.
