Meghan Markle Opened Her Closet to Fans — and We’re Eyeing Her Comfy Gap Matching Set and More, From $52

It’s not every day you’re granted a peek into one of the most coveted celebrity closets in the world, but being the icon she is, Meghan Markle has offered just that. After garnering buzz around her classic, effortless style following the release of her new Netflix show, With Love, Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex took to Instagram yesterday to share an online Shop My storefront, home to a “handpicked and curated collection” of things she loves.

With comfy style finds always top-of-mind at Travel + Leisure, we scoured the trove of elevated basics to learn once and for all how to dress like royalty — and luckily, many of Markle’s top picks are the perfect addition to any good travel wardrobe. Ready to take your closet to the next level with Duchess-approved pieces? Keep reading to find the 12 best, packable finds Markle swears by, starting at just $54 from Gap, Madewell, J.Crew, and more.

Reformation Andy Oversized Linen Shirt

A plain white linen shirt is one of the most versatile wardrobe staples, and Markle turns to Reformation for her favorite fit. This slightly oversized top can be worn buttoned up or loose as a breathable layer for travel days, and the relaxed drape brings an effortless appeal to this spring must-have. It’s available in sizes ranging from XS to XL and is made from a high-quality 100 percent linen fabric that will look just as stunning at the office as at the airport. However, if you don’t want to splurge on basics, we found a similar long-sleeve linen blouse currently on sale for $23 at Amazon; it’s made from a cotton-linen blend at a far more wallet-friendly price.

J.Crew Wide-leg Essential Pants

J.Crew makes timeless basics like no other, so it’s really no surprise that even Meghan Markle is drawn to these stylish wide-leg pants that are not only flattering but also comfortable. They’re available in an impressive size range (including classic, petite, and tall options), and while Markle linked to the simple white pair, this style is also available in seven other gorgeous shades that will no doubt elevate your travel wardrobe. The high-rise cut and breathable shape create a relaxed yet refined look that can easily be dressed up or down depending on the occasion, and the 100 percent linen construction will keep you cool well into the warmer months. 

J.Crew Featherweight Cashmere-blend Cropped Sweater Shell

Markle is seemingly all about the monochromatic look this season, as she’s also linked to this simple white cashmere sweater tank from J.Crew that pairs perfectly with her favorite linen pants. This lightweight top is put-together and classy (which is no doubt why the Duchess of Sussex loves it), and it’s the ideal transitional piece; wear it alone when it’s warm out or beneath a matching cardigan on cooler spring days. Its understated nature means it can be styled with anything from a statement skirt to a simple pair of trousers. No matter your personal taste, just know you can look to Markle for styling inspiration — she wore it on an episode of With Love, Meghan, after all!

Madewell Cotton Relaxed Oversized Tee

Markle’s casual outfits have proven to be just as cool as her more put-together looks — and this oversized Madewell tee is all the proof we need. The boxy cut will keep you comfy during long-haul flights, plus it’s made from a 100 percent cotton fabric that will only get softer with regular wear. Its slightly longer fit provides more coverage than tighter tees without looking sloppy, and while Markle is partial to the slate grey shade, this best-seller is also available in four other colors and patterns. It’s even available in a full range of sizes from XXS to XXL.

Uniqlo Trench Coat

Trench coats are one seasonal trend we’ll never tire of, so imagine our surprise when we learned that Markle’s top pick for the look is actually a $100 option at Uniqlo. The coat boasts a perfectly oversized fit that can be cinched at the waist with the accompanying belt, while the 100 percent cotton twill fabric creates a shiny finish that oozes style. Since it’s slightly oversized, you can wear it over your favorite chunky sweater on chilly spring days without feeling restricted in your movements, and it’s decorated with functional buttons, from the cuffs to the body. It’s even available in three neutral colors, although the Markle-favored beige has the most sizes still in stock.

J.Crew Chambray Shirt

In line with her favorite oversized white button-down, this J.Crew Chambray Shirt is another Markle-loved basic that will easily slot into any travel wardrobe — plus, it won’t break the bank. Currently on sale for just $53, this flattering top features a more fitted look that can be styled buttoned to the top or left open as a lightweight in-flight layer. It’s made from a high-quality 100 percent cotton fabric that’s soft against the skin, and it’ll remain in great condition for years to come. Markle’s influence has even already become apparent as more than 1,100 shoppers have added this top to their shopping cart today alone. It even comes in a wide range of sizes from 2XS to 3X.

Naadam The Original Cashmere Sweater

A nice cashmere sweater is one of the most luxurious wardrobe staples you could treat yourself to, and Markle points to the Naadam Original Cashmere Sweater as her go-to choice for spring. The royal linked to the stunning crewneck sweater in a light blue heather shade that will be easy to wear with other basics on her shopping list — but it’s also available in 28 other shades (we’re especially enamored with the butter yellow option). This top features ribbed retailing along the hem, cuffs, and neckline, resulting in a polished finish, while the relaxed fit is the perfect intermediary between form-fitting and oversized.

Gap CashSoft Shaker-stitch Crewneck Sweater

Matching sets are undoubtedly one of the biggest trends of this winter, and the style is so pervasive that even Markle herself couldn’t help but get on board. Veering away from the sweatpants and hoodie look spotted at countless airports, Markle instead favors this knit set from Gap that’s somehow both comfortable and refined. The beauty of the CashSoft Shaker-stitch Crewneck Sweater is that it’s so stylish it can be worn with the accompanying Sweater Pants or dressed up with jeans or trousers, truly making it one of the most valuable (and versatile) additions to your closet. While Markle’s preferred Terra Brown shade is nearly sold out, a similar, lighter brown option is still available on-site for just $63 in a full range of sizes.

Gap CashSoft Shaker-stitch Sweater Pants

Pairing perfectly with the Markle-loved crewneck sweater, the CashSoft Shaker-stitch Sweater Pants are the easiest way to elevate your airport style without sacrificing essential comfort. An elastic waistband and loose, relaxed legs are just as cozy as sweatpants (but far more fashionable), while the ultra-soft, midweight cotton blend allows you to channel the experience of wearing your favorite blanket out into the real world. Markle is spotted wearing countless neutral knits in With Love, Meghan, so we wouldn’t be surprised if these pants are part of a featured outfit in season 2.

Tuckernuck The Shirt by Rochelle Behrens

Markle clearly loves button-down shirts. This blue and white striped top (by designer Rochelle Behrens) is another impeccable pick on her list — and it was even created to be the “perfect shirt.” Made from a cotton and elastane blend, this breezy top will no doubt be a mainstay in your suitcase through the spring and well into the summer with its endless styling possibilities: pair it with everything from linen pants to a well-fitting pair of jeans. But if you’re looking for a more affordable alternative that has all the same charm, you can’t go wrong with this nearly identical button-down shirt that’s on sale for $20 at Amazon. 

Anine Bing Carrie Pants

Markle truly lets her taste shine through with these luxurious Anine Bing Carrie Pants, and while they may be $300, they’re also well worth the investment. The lightweight linen blend is surprisingly breathable, which is a must for the warmer months, and they’re both tailored and carefree with a wide-leg, high-waisted cut and the perfect casual drape. If you have limited space in your suitcase, rest assured these trousers will be an unbeatable selection for whatever you have on the agenda for your trip — and they pair well with all of Markle’s previous picks, from a button-down top to her favorite J.Crew sweater tank. Can’t swing the price tag? Fear not, we found a similar style in these Amazon high-waisted trousers that are just $30.

Emme Parsons Cecelia Leather Thong Sandals

If there’s something worth splurging on, it’s a good pair of sandals — and it’s clear Markle agrees. Flagging the minimalistic Emme Parsons Cecelia Leather Thong Sandals as her go-to black shoes for spring and summer, Markle signals her understated elegance with the thin, barely-there straps and sensible, adjustable design. It’s unlikely that this nearly-$500 pair of sandals will be in the budget for many, but fortunately these Dream Pairs T-strap Thong Sandals channel the same royal vibe with a far more approachable $20 price point.
