It's not every day you see the Duchess of Sussex, Meghan Markle, dressed down and casual. But that's exactly what happened in a recent Mother's Day tribute posted by her friend, Janina Gavankar.
The tribute featured a series of candid photos of Gavankar and her mother, along with other photos of mothers and daughters, including one of Meghan and her own mother, Doria Ragland. In the photo, Meghan is dressed casually in a striped shirt and wide-leg pants, her hair in a messy bun. It's a far cry from the polished and sophisticated look we're used to seeing from Meghan, but it's also a reminder that even royals have their casual moments.
Meghan Markle is known for her impeccable style and has influenced fashion trends around the world. According to a study by global fashion search platform, Lyst, Meghan Markle was the most influential dresser of 2019, with her outfits sparking a 216% increase in searches for similar items. Her fashion choices have boosted the sales of various brands and designers, and she has been praised for her commitment to sustainable and ethical fashion.
However, even with her status as a fashion icon, Meghan has always emphasized the importance of dressing for comfort and practicality. In a blog post for her now-defunct lifestyle website, The Tig, Meghan wrote, "Be kind to yourself...if you feel good in something, wear it. Don't fall prey to the idea that you have to look a certain way to be polished and presentable. Real style is about self-expression."
The Duchess of Sussex Goes Casual: Meghan Markle's Dressed-Down Look
As someone who values comfort and practicality in my own wardrobe, I can relate to Meghan Markle's fashion philosophy. I've always believed that real style is about feeling confident and comfortable in what you're wearing, regardless of what others might think. Whether it's a pair of sneakers with a dress or a cozy sweater on a chilly day, the key is to wear what makes you feel good.
There are also countless case studies of women who have found success by dressing for themselves rather than for others. One example is Mimi Ikonn, a former beauty vlogger turned entrepreneur who built a successful business by promoting self-care and self-expression. In a recent interview with Forbes, she explained that "when you're aligned with who you are and what your values are, it becomes a lot easier to attract the right people and the right opportunities."
