After stepping down from their active roles as senior members of the British Royal Family, there are still a lot of questions that remain about what the new life of Meghan Markle and Prince Harry will be like. Although the “formal” transition could take months, Meghan’s wardrobe may change a lot sooner!
Now that she can be a lot more flexible in terms of dress code, Meghan might decide to revamp these looks that defined her style before she became the Duchess of Sussex (and leave behind some of the rules she adopted when she launched her royal life). Here’s a look back at some of the looks she loved during her days as an actress on Suits and how she may reinvent them for her new life in North America.

Maybe after getting settled in Canada, and starting some of the projects they’ve announced in official statements, Meghan will decide to wear monochrome outfits with a touch of sensuality. Belly baring crop tops and tops with cut outs were her basics during her pre-royal life.

While Queen Letizia of Spain has been known to rock a leather legging, a sighting of these snug-fitting sexy wardrobe staples in the British royal family would definitely be less common. As a result, now that Meghan is returning to Canada, we might just see them going back to being one of the former Suits actress’ favorite looks.

It’s an unspoken royal rule that you should to wear pantyhose with dresses or skirts. Though Meghan Markle did don them for her royal life in London, the California girl just might go back to showing off her toned bare legs.

Stiletto sandals are a must-have for this American royal so there’s no doubt we’ll be seeing her rock them in the future as she returns to the public eye and, hopefully for fashion watchers, to some red carpets! Strappy, open-toe, or caged, she’s worn them all at some point.

While Meghan didn’t break royal protocol when she wore dark nail polish during her pregnancy, it still got some royal watchers, who prefer to see ballet slipper pink manicures at royal engagements pretty fired up! But the Duchess of Sussex has always been a fan of dark polish so we hope to see her continuing to wear the glam look that she wore as both a Hollywood star and a British royal.

On very few occasions during her time in London, Kate Middleton’s sister-in-law has been seen wearing ripped jeans. (Here she’s seen wearing distressed denim on her first public outing with now-husband, then boyfriend, Prince Harry.) Now, we expect to see her combining them with sweaters and midi jackets, with oversize shirts or even with Athleisure-style t-shirts.

Meghan Markle loves a fabulous necklines, such as the classic Bardot neck, which she adapted to a host of her more modest-looking royal outfits, including her dress on her wedding day. Off the shoulder and strapless looks could very well end up in her new wardrobe.
