How To Get Meghan Markle's 'Husband Shirt' For Your Stay-At-Home Wardrobe

Let’s be honest: Anything Meghan Markle touches becomes instant fashion gold, as the countless outfits (looking at you, Invictus Games dress!) and accessories she wears tend to sell out pretty quickly.

One of the Duchess of Sussex’s most famous looks — a classic button-down shirt she debuted on her first public outing with Prince Harry back in 2017 — is no exception. It’s timeless and casual enough to make a part of your work-from-home wardrobe in 2020.

The husband shirt has unlimited styling potential and can be worn dressy (with a suit, tucked into a pencil skirt or with trousers) or casual (worn with leggings, shorts or jeans), Guadara said.

Markle’s go-to shirt starts at $125, with a portion of proceeds going to the duchess’s charity Smart Works. But Guadara said there are plenty of more affordable versions that will keep you equally on-trend.

“J.Crew offers a similar top for $69.50, and Express has one for $35.43 –...
