All eyes have been on Meghan Markle at SXSW. The Duchess graced the Austin conference at present to ship the keynote tackle, “Breaking Boundaries, Shaping Narratives: How Ladies Lead On and Off the Display screen,” alongside Brooke Shields and Katie Couric. 

To mark the event, Markle wore an outfit that performed with conventional workwear conventions. She donned a silk button up and matching maxi skirt from Giuliva Heritage, each printed with grey and beige pinstripes. The extra masculine shirt (aptly dubbed the “Husband shirt”), which retails for $973, contrasted properly with the flowing, female Lena skirt, which prices $1,050. 

Markle saved equipment to a minimal. Except for her wedding ceremony rings, she solely wore a pair of chunky gold hoop earrings laden with tiny gold rings, which coordinated with the gold rock stud on her Valentino pointy-toed slides. 

The Duchess of Sussex’s pinstripe-heavy outfit was completely according to the workwear tendencies we noticed throughout fall 2024 exhibits. However Markle neatly subverted the look, making it extra Santa Barbara informal than work convention—whereas preserving it skilled, after all. Neglect the trousers: Meghan Markle is making a robust case for flowing skirt units within the workplace.
