How to ‘polish’ your style, just like Meghan Markle

When Meghan Markle fell in love with Prince Harry and agreed to be his wife, little did she know how much it would affect her style…

Yes, she was already familiar with formal outfits in Suits, but even this was far too sexy: she had to make subtle changes to add some royal elegance to her look. Keep scrolling to read five ways she turned her style from celeb siren to polished princess – they may be just what you need to add some class to your workwear or formal dressing too.

If the other royal women are anything to go by, Meghan will no longer be wearing brightly coloured polish. It may not be as strict with our jobs, but be sure to still pay attention to neat and well-painted nails.

When everyone in your new job comes to work in chic Louboutins, you probably shouldn’t turn up in scruffy trainers. The same goes for vice versa! Always read the room and stick to the dress code.

Meghan knows that a more colourful (yet smart) top looks best under a dark trouser suit or blazer. This is how to look fresh and positive rather than stern and unapproachable.

4. Pay attention to what you reveal about yourself on social media… Because everyone can see! Meghan had to delete all her accounts as the future princess. She’s also not allowed to use a smartphone in public – this is considered vulgar for a royal. Perhaps a good rule to live by in the office too?

5. If you’re wearing a shorter dress at work, ALWAYS wear tights. In that respect, we are absolutely united with the royals!!
