The Duchess of Sussex's style is synonymous with classic colours, clean lines and minimalism, with brands such as Safiyaa, Dior and Aquazurra often featuring in her wardrobe.
Now, these high-end designers may be switched up with more affordable high-street staples from Uniqlo. Meghan's wedding dress designer Clare Waight Keller – who previously worked for Givenchy – was appointed as Uniqlo's creative director in September and has launched the Uniqlo: C collection.

Some of the standout pieces include the £109 'Wool Blend Wrap Coat', the £39 'Pleated Wide Trousers' and the £39 'Belted Shirt Dress' – all of which are similar styles to items Meghan has worn in the past.

Speaking about their "beautiful friendship," the Duchess of Sussex said in an email to The New York Times: "Her pieces for the brand have movement and modern grace."
Clare recommended layering shirts, cashmere sweaters and lightweight coats. "It's all about those cosy layers that give you that beautiful silhouette," she said.
Meghan's wedding dress

"Looking at the design of the dress, there were many conversations about how you want to present yourself to the world.

The designer also previously told The Wall Street Journal: "I'm not tired of talking about Meghan Markle's wedding dress because: it was an amazing event, so a lot of people will remember it in their lives," Clare said. "It means a lot to be British and do something like that."
