Meghan has ‘loosened up’ style since leaving the UK

Since taking a step back from royal life in January 2020, Meghan Markle has undergone a fresh style transformation, according to fashion coach and celebrity stylist Miranda Holder. Miranda Holder is a fashion coach who is known for her viral TikTok style videos posted under the username @themirandaholder ‘Your Feel Good Fashion Coach’.”If you look back, she has had quite a style evolution,” Miranda told Express.co.uk. “She was, at first, a little bit girl next door but with a California-casual look and easy-breezy style.”And then she became more polished as she came into the public eye. Now, she’s moved back to California so her style has slightly loosened up again and become a bit more California-appropriate.”We’re seeing more jeans and crisp white shirts, whereas she was wearing more tailoring when she was a working member of the Royal Family.”At the 2020 Invictus Games, hosted in 2022, Meghan’s style was noticeably more smart-casual when compared with royal events she had attended previously.READ MORE: Prince Harry ‘not pleased’ with Meghan’s ‘clingy’ behaviour  Meghan has embraced a more laid-back and relaxed style since leaving her role as a working royal (Image: Getty Images) Meghan dressed up a pair of straight leg jeans with a heeled pump (Image: Getty Images)”She favours quality separates and has a more casual vibe to her whole look,” explained Miranda.For her arrival in The Hague in April 2022, the Duchess showed off her post-royal style with a fashion-forward oversized blazer by the designer Valentino and a gold studded chain-strap bag.As the event progressed, Meghan opted for her beloved jeans, which have become a wardrobe staple since her return to the US.To attend the Jaguar Land Rover Driving Challenge, the Duchess donned a pair of faded Moussy Vintage jeans and a white t-shirt with a black tweed Celine jacket.

Another signature style piece which made an appearance was her camel coat, something which Miranda said can instantly transform an outfit.”She does love the camel coat,” said Miranda. “The camel coat can instantly transform an outfit to make it appropriate for an evening out or for an office setting.”She sometimes even throws it on over sportswear sometimes and all of a sudden she looks chic.”Even in her most glamorous outfits, simplicity remains key for Meghan, both in her accessories and colour choices. “Meghan tends to go more for neutrals,” explained Miranda. “More and more over the last couple of years, she has really gone for black and white or versions of.”In September, at the one-year countdown for the Invictus Games in Germany, it was the cut of Meghan’s outfit which really showed her move towards a more relaxed lifestyle.

(Image: DX)She chose a pair of loose-fitting, cream trousers from Brandon Maxwell, and a halter-style ivory knit from Annie Bing, a contemporary choice which is rarely seen on members of the Royal Family.”I think with Megan it’s quality over quantity,” explained Miranda. “She favours a range of designers, lots of American brands these days, and some high-street or contemporary designers. She just goes for the cut and those neutral colours.”Accessories also remain simple, yet elegant. Miranda said: “Accessories are minimal and very well chosen to compliment, but not overpower.”She never tries any particularly overpowering or overbearing trends there. “She loves her classic tan, her camel coat and her shoes, handbags, maybe a pair of sunglasses and a belt. But it’s really about the woman rather than the clothes with Megan.”
