Meghan Markle prefers to wear white, and according to a report in the Daily Mail, she has chosen this color for some of the most important moments in her life. (1]

To be even more detailed and specific, it is the white button-down shirt that Meghan reaches for during important and defining moments in her life. For example, when she and then-boyfriend Prince Harry made their public debut as a couple in 2017, she paired it with Mother Denim jeans and Sarah Flint flats by Misha Nonoo to attend the Invictus Games in Toronto. She chose the eponymous "Husband Shirt". The Daily Mail reported that "the casual, understated combination still exudes elegance and sophistication, and the style quickly became something of a trademark," and that Meghan used the look to signal a new beginning, especially from a somewhat recognized actress to a celebrity. She added that she uses it to announce her transition from being a somewhat recognizable actress to a celebrity.

Then again, it was a white button-down that appeared on Meghan's first royal tour to Australia in 2018. The tour, just a few months after her marriage to Harry in May of that year, represented a new beginning and a new chapter in her life as a working royal and mother. Remember, it was during this trip that Harry and Meghan announced the pregnancy of their first child. This particular shirt was from Maison Kitsune, which she paired with a Serena blazer, J. Crew jeans, and boots. On the trip, Megan admitted that she was "a little tired" in the early stages of her pregnancy and said she was "running on adrenaline" when the couple kicked off their tour.

In 2019, the white button-down made another appearance at the Endeavor Fund Awards in London while pregnant with Prince Archie, who would be born three months later. This time she paired her signature shirt with a black maxi skirt. Both were from Givenchy, of course, the designer of her wedding dress the year before. Aquazzura pumps also became her style signature.

The look appeared again in the summer of 2019 at Wimbledon, where she attended with her sister-in-law Kate Middleton and Kate's sister Pippa; four years ago, rumors were rife that a rift had developed between the then two duchesses, but on this day Kate and Meghan were joined by Meghan's friend They sat in the Royal Box to watch Serena Williams play and seemed to be on good terms. Meghan's shirt was Givenchy again, paired with a bold skirt by Hugo Boss.

Later that summer, in her first official appearance since welcoming Archie on May 6 of the previous year, Meghan presented her Smart Works clothing collection, wearing a Misha Nonoo shirt and tailored pants by Jigsaw. (The collection featured pieces from designer and high street brands John Lewis and Marks and Spencer.)

But this was not the last time she wore this look in 2019-she also went out in a linen J. Crew shirt and Madewell jacket when she visited South Africa on another royal tour with Harry. (That ended up being the last royal tour before she and Harry returned to the active members of the royal family in January 2020.)

Flash forward to 2023: The white button-down shirt reappeared just days ago to signify a new beginning, as she and Harry bid farewell to their former home, Frogmore Cottage in England. Harry and Meghan were seen holding hands, smiling and laughing as they left an office building in Santa Barbara following the news that the royal couple had finally handed over the keys and said goodbye to their former Windsor home, Frogmore Cottage," reports the Daily Mail The Daily Mail reported. Princess Meghan wore an Anine Bing shirt, Reformation brown linen shorts, and a Janessa Leone hat.

In the midst of life's turbulent seasons, a steady anchor like a favorite piece of clothing can ground and stabilize a bit amidst the hustle and bustle.
