From her candid, vulnerable interviews to her surprisingly accessible style, there is so much to love about Meghan Markle. Despite being a duchess with unfathomable access, Meghan has proved to us that even royals repeat outfits – and we can’t thank her enough for that. (Yes, she’s still a duchess, despite the fact that her official royal duties have ended.)
In an age where fashion is becoming increasingly dispensable, Meghan’s choice to rewear many of her dresses during public appearances is incredibly significant. It actively shows her commitment to reducing fashion’s carbon footprint, as well as lending a platform to smaller brands, like Canadian label House of Nonie, and affordable midrange boutiques, like Aritzia.
While Meghan is not one to shy away from rewearing a great look, she really amped up her repeat outfits between her 2018 tour of Australia and her 2019 tour of Southern Africa. Meghan has done so much more good than many realize, since the subtleties of dress are often unaccredited. Ahead are some of Meghan’s most popular dresses that she enjoyed wearing so much, she took them out a second time.
