Meghan Markle’s Button-Up and Ballet Flats Are Giving Major Throwback Energy — and They’re Still Timeless

The two have been major staples for the Duchess of Sussex

Welcome to The Blueprint, where we break down the celebrity looks we want to wear right now and build them back up, piece by piece.

Good food, good company, and a good outfit — sounds like my kind of fun.

Over the weekend, Meghan Markle and Kimberly Williams-Paisley met up in Montecito and grabbed some wine and pasta — and the Duchess of Sussex’s outfit was an absolute chef’s kiss. Her white Anine Bing button-up, high-waisted jeans, and Chanel ballet flats made up the perfect lunch ’fit for the “low-key” outing.

In 2017, she wore a similar ensemble while attending the Invictus Games with Prince Harry for a casual date not long after going public with their relationship. She also sported an oversized blue button-up this April, and was spotted in various pairs of ballet flats throughout the spring. And at one point, she wore two separate pairs on the same day!

Katie Holmes, Oprah, Martha Stewart, and Reese Witherspoon are other celebrities are fans of classic button-up shirts, which are adaptable and wearable for every season. They go with jeans, skirts, and shorts, and they’re light enough to carry on your shoulders or in a purse or carry-on.

Ballet flats are also packable, but more importantly, are comfortable. They’re also celeb-favored and are bubbling up in all sorts of forms, including studded styles and mesh pairs.
