If there’s two sartorial muses who know the power of ‘less is more’ it's Meghan Markle and Victoria Beckham.
They say great minds think alike, which clearly rings true in the fashion sphere - this summer they’ve both sported identical uniforms that ooze Quiet Luxury - the trend that epitomises their minimalistic, timeless style agendas.
Meghan, who celebrated her 42nd earlier this month wearing the most daring date night dress, stepped out in Los Angeles for a girls lunch this week.

The Duchess of Sussex looked effortlessly chic as always in an image shared to her gal pal Kadi Lee's Instagram story. Kadi co-founded Highbrow Hippie – a wellness lifestyle and beauty brand.
Meghan wore a black, thick-strapped vest top with her sunglasses folded on the neckline. She accessorised with a necklace with a chunky disc pendant, slim beaded bracelets and a dainty gold watch.
Victoria Beckham also knows a thing or two about looking effortlessly elegant in elevated essentials. The fashion designer has spent her summer in the USA supporting David Beckham’s American soccer team Inter Miami, and has kept us up to date with her summer dress code via social media outfit images.

One particular item she’s been wearing on repeat is a black tank top. Be it with lace trimming on the sleeves, a racerback neckline or a low scoop back, the 49-year-old has made a black vest with either ecru, black or grey wide-leg trousers her summer 2023 uniform.
We also noticed how Victoria has worn a dainty gold watch with an oval-shaped face this summer, to add a subtle touch of glam to her looks. She’s toned down her wrist bijouterie lately in favour of a more 'Quiet Luxury' aesthetic - she also owns a collection of oversized, Rolex Daytonas.
This isn’t the first time Meghan and Victoria’s uber chic aesthetics have crossed paths. When the Duchess stepped out for a hike in Montecito earlier this summer, she wore a brown pair of 'Navigator Power' aviators from Victoria Beckham’s eponymous fashion brand.
If a replenishment of sartorial essentials is in order, ensure a high-quality black tank top is on your shopping list.
