Meghan Markle's interview with The Cut last year was nothing short of incredible.
Giving us the most revealing look at her life in Montecito, we discovered her home smells like rose water (thanks to a Soho Home candle), her son Archie takes fresh garden fruit to school, and that Prince Harry is romance personified – and that Meghan is, by all accounts, a woman whose style is achingly chic.
In a series of fashion shots, the Duchess of Sussex posed in designer pieces. Wearing a Tory Burch black and white dress and statement green Lanvin earrings on the cover, the rest of the shoot proved her fashion credentials with looks from Proenza Schouler and Bottega Veneta.
But it was Meghan's Chanel dress, in Chanel's iconic boucle-tweed, that caught our attention. With a ballerina bun, pared-back makeup and bare feet, the black and white bandeau dress, called the Chanel Fantasy Tweed Dress, was a lesson in understated chic.
Made from a monochromatic tweed, it's the dress you can wear to a party (just add heels and statement earrings) or to the boardroom (layer over a roll neck and knee-high boots. Sorted). It's a New England meets 1950s aesthetic with a little Princess Diana charm thrown in; smart, stylish, and warm too.
