The Meghan Markle effect
With the impending marriage of Harry and Meghan on the 19th May, it seems fitting to write a little on the ‘Markle effect’ that is influencing key trends this season.
As the sun comes out there has been an immergence of floral midi dresses and Meghan Markle has embraced this summer style. At a recent event Markle wore a floral green pleated midi dress. With this rework of the classic tea dress Markle proved once again that she is going to have a more modern approach to traditional royal dressing, as although the dress has a conservative knee length, it features a contemporary forward off-the-shoulder neckline. Floral print midis have already become the surprise hit of the season on the high street. Take a look at our range of midi dresses by designers such as Adini, Joe Brown and Marble which follow the same trend.
When it comes to formal summer dresses, it can be difficult to find a coat or jacket that doesn’t look awkward sat with the dress. However, Markle masterfully paired her midi with a classic black blazer. This worked perfectly because it pulled out the black, which was in the floral print. In the search for something to go over your dresses for wedding season, Markle shows that you can’t go wrong with a classic black tuxedo.
