Since leaving London with Prince Harry in 2020, Meghan Markle has become far more associated with California’s relaxed, Montecito-inspired minimalism than the formal separates and coat dresses typically worn by royal women on overseas engagements. This week, the Duchess of Sussex joined Harry on a two-day visit to Jordan at the invitation of the World Health Organization, where she offered a refined take on her more laid-back style.
Arriving for the trip—which included a visit to the Za’atari Refugee Camp and meetings with injured children evacuated from Gaza—the Duchess swapped her usual skinny jeans and neutral cashmere for a cream tweed set by Veronica Beard. The next day, she wore khaki co-ords layered under a lightweight cotton shirt to play football with children at the QuestScope Youth Centre, finishing the look with a pair of trendy boat shoes.
Later, while visiting the National Centre for Rehabilitation of Addicts in Amman, the Duchess mixed high and low fashion, pairing a Zara jacket with Chanel shoes. While her recent style has focused on select basics in easy-to-wear neutrals, this updated “tour” wardrobe reflects that same effortless, breezy approach—just with a touch of added polish.
