Even with their worrisome ongoing cases and controversies, the Duchess of Sussex, Meghan Markle never failed to surprise her followers with her alluring choices of fashion. Spotted leaving a Michelin-star sushi restaurant in Montecito last month, the Sussex couples were seen upbeat and ready for their upcoming battles. The duo kept it all low-key and casual as they always have been. Although the Meghan Markle Effect never really faded away, her day-to-day casual and official outfits boosted her effect even more than it was. 

On their latest visit, Markle rocked a brown long-sleeved casual dress. She paired it with matching open-toed sandals and a slicked-back, low ponytail. Undoubtedly, it was straight-up pure Californian attire pulled by the Duchess. However, what caught our eyes was her steady pattern in the choice of footwear she wore. While royal members on duty are often seen in high pumps and heels, Markle has been keeping it all flat, almost forever. 

Although not a working Duchess on the move, Markle has often kept it simple yet classy sandals. First seen in the 1990s, timeless women’s footwear has been in surplus demand for decades. And the Duchess just knows how to keep intact the old money vibe along with a tinge of modernization in her outfits. Recently, she wore a one-strap slip-on from Hermes, made of tan leather. 

The versatile detailing and the stitches perfectly matched the vibe of the outing. However, back in the day, she also preferred slip-on from various other well-known brands. From high-profile brands while Chanel, the Duchess has a collection of CC Cap-toe flats and a few pairs of Ballerina flats as well. The former American star is often seen in solid flats too; those stand at a hundred dollars nowadays, as listed out by Daily Mail. 

Meghan Markle is a classic minimalist 

Being a minimalist has always been one of the fine trends of the Duchess. The people across the pool in the Kingdom know her for the way she has set the trends with the palace-befitting outfits. Be it her longline camel coats with the subdued hues, or the Max Mara Being over wears, she has rocked it all. The Duchess has herself agreed that she always chooses to wear subtle colors during her time in the UK. 

It just went with the type of person she considers herself as a whole. Nevertheless, all her humble shades were much more vibrant than the usual royal ensembles we are used to. So much so that her royal counterpart, Kate Middleton, the Princess of Wales, is often under the first for having copied Markle’s looks.
