How to Copy Meghan Markle’s Black Button Down Dress Look From With Love, Meghan

Meghan Markle’s Netflix series With Love, Meghan might be firmly focused on lifestyle tips and everyday elegance, but for fans of the Duchess of Sussex’s signature style, it also serves as a built in fashion inspiration board. Over the course of the series’s second season, Meghan shows off her flair for understated pieces that bring casual sophistication, once again cementing her status as a button down shirt influencer, and bringing laid-back cool with classic staple tees.

One of those covetable looks was the black button down dress the duchess wore during the season’s fourth episode. Sleek and simple, the sleeveless, crewneck silhouette adds some visual interest in the form of delicate contrasting buttons running down the front. Think: a sleeveless shirtdress with a modern edge—a category that Meghan proved her mastery of throughout the season.

The all-black look is in keeping for Meghan’s go-to minimalist aesthetic; a fact that she touched on in the episode. “Existentially I am a neutral person,” she told guest Samin Nosrat in reference to her much talked-about preference for ensembles in tones of cream, black, and brown. (Meghan had previously caused a stir in the Netflix docuseries Harry & Meghan when she said that she “rarely wore color” in the UK so as not to distract from members of the royal family.) In episode seven, she adds, “I normally dress monochromatically, not because I think it’s the most stylish thing in the world, but because I think it’s really easy.”

As you might expect, the version worn by Meghan—the Bryony dress by Doen—is now out of stock, but here are similar styles you can add to your closet ASAP.
