Meghan Markle and Princess Kate have made headlines for their stylish wardrobe picks. Now, they made quite a splash recently with their equally inflammatory style statements. For the season finale of her webshow “With Love, Meghan”, Markle stepped out in a bold burgundy ribbed jumper from French brand Sézane. This appearance mimics an outfit which the former Kate Middleton wore three years prior. The stylish link underscores just how much Kate and Ann both continue to shape today’s style landscape.
Markle’s selection of their signature corduroy jumper, retailing at a pretty reasonable £155, offers a new twist on this classic look. Princess Kate embraced the ‘natural’ shade when she donned an ecru jumper for her visit to Nottingham Trent University in 2020. Just look at that flair—at the time, that set was going for £110. The reflected synchronicity in their sartorial choices further highlights the stylish camaraderie their two royal highnesses maintain.
Sézane is known for its trendy, modern aesthetic. It’s the go-to brand for both Meg and Kat, sometimes receiving an ‘it-girl’ accolade. Fashionistas everywhere are clamoring for Sézane’s ‘Sami’ collection jumper, which is quickly turning into a closet classic must-have.
While Markle’s current season wardrobe in “With Love, Meghan” has received praise from fans, Princess Kate’s previous style choices have evolved. Prior to wearing the jumper, she had been opting for trouser ensembles during her appearances. This transition into a more relaxed but polished jumper was a significant departure from her typical wardrobe presentation.
You’ll find new exclusive designs from Sézane so shop them while they’re still available. If you want to skip the waitlist, try this Boden lookalike jumper, £129 (about $159), instead.
“Boden is killing it with its new season knits and this one is spun from the softest cashmere making it super luxurious. Boden partners with The Good Cashmere Standard and supports the sustainable production of cashmere, which I love. What’s more there are other shades to choose from as well.” – Leanne Bayley
This focus on sustainable fashion makes Boden even more attractive, tapping right into the consumer shift towards production practices that people can feel good about.
Both Markle and Kate are still pushing the envelope, as they should, as they straddle this line of tradition and being modern women. Their selections continue to strike a chord with their champions, who favor classic form married with modern sensibility that each one embodies.
