All eyes had been on Meghan Markle at SXSW. The Duchess graced the Austin conference immediately to ship the keynote tackle, “Breaking Obstacles, Shaping Narratives: How Ladies Lead On and Off the Display,” 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 stored equipment to a minimal. Other than her marriage 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 in keeping with the workwear tendencies we noticed throughout fall 2024 reveals. However Markle neatly subverted the look, making it extra Santa Barbara informal than work convention—whereas holding it skilled, in fact. Neglect the trousers: Meghan Markle is making a powerful case for flowing skirt units within the workplace.
