Meghan has been a style icon since her time as a fan favorite on Suits. Her style was elevated even further when she took on her role as the Duchess of Sussex. As we’ve seen in her favorite looks, her fashion is characterized by elegant fabrics and chic sunglasses.

Their influence has also spread to TikTok: their “Le Specs Air Heart” sunglasses went viral after a user posted about the sunglasses’ interesting feature that allows the wearer to see who is walking behind them.

Her penchant for style and functionality is undeniable, so if you want to copy the same style, here’s how to emulate some of her best eyewear picks.

Chic square frames

Lately, Meghan has been wearing Heidi Merrick’s Santa Barbara glasses ($215) on many of her outings. She pairs them with suits, evening dresses and casual wear, looking impeccably styled for every occasion.

For those who prefer a rounder style, she also wore the brand’s black “Ex-Pat Frame” sunglasses ($225).

The key elements of these glasses are the deep tinted lenses and the large square frame. You can easily replicate the effect the glasses have on your face by wearing a pair of Foster Grant sunglasses, particularly the limited edition Ebony Bold from the Sofia Vergara collection ($32). The Geo Square model from this collection also offers the same visual appeal but gives it a touch of extra personality with a tortoiseshell pattern and deep blue gradient.

Pulling this off is a matter of balance. Since you already have a striking shape that takes up a lot of your face, you might want to wear your hair up and avoid oversized accessories. In terms of clothing, you have a little more freedom, as long as you wear a flattering fit that doesn’t add extra weight to your sunglasses.

Classic Ray-Ban Aviator

One of Meghan’s signature style choices is to mix and match different black pieces and add a pop of color to create visually interesting accents. Occasionally, she also mixes textures to avoid a monotonous look. The cherry on top, as always, is a classic pair of frames like the Ray-Ban Aviators ($180). When she’s not complementing dark glasses with color on her clothes, the frames themselves serve as a subtle but effective highlight.

Aviator sunglasses have long been a part of Meghan’s wardrobe, even before she joined the royal family. She’s wearing Linda Farrow’s 22-karat gold-plated sunglasses ($1,100) with her Invictus Games outfit. These pair well with casual, sporty looks and dressier pieces, so you can easily recreate this gold-studded look by grabbing an official pair from Ray-Bans (at a fraction of the price of the Duchess’s Farrow glasses).

Casual patterned sunglasses

If you’re looking for quiet luxury without necessarily having to stick to a neutral color scheme, look no further than Meghan’s closet. It’s all about effortless elegance, with a classic pair of sunglasses being the highlight. Opt for a pair with patterned frames to add a little extra flair to a simple outfit.

Meghan paired her Finlay ‘Percy’ sunglasses ($225) with the casual denim and shirt combo and a sleek monochrome black ensemble. Tortoiseshell frames are pretty versatile, making them a great centerpiece accessory to go back to time and time again. If you want something bolder, pair it with a simple silhouette that’s made to look bold through its colors. Check out the gorgeous bright yellow Carolina Herrera dress she wore during her recent visit to the Lagos State Governor’s House. The silk dress was previously seen during another significant moment – the announcement of her pregnancy with Princess Lilibet in 2021.

This design works because it doesn’t feel like an outdated trend. If you prefer a more casual look, you can wear flowy clothes and relaxed lines. For a more dressed-down look, you can’t go wrong with a suit or a halter neck dress like the one by Johanna Oritz that Meghan wore to a recent polo match. No matter what length or pattern you prefer, this favorite piece of Markle’s will work well in most cases.
