If you associate a white shirt with a school uniform or stuffy officewear, then Meghan Markle is here to show you how it can be so much more. The Duchess of Sussex has styled a white button-down in various ways over the years, from a casual look worn untucked over ripped jeans at the 2017 Invictus Games to the perfect formal attire tucked into a slit skirt at the 2019 Endeavour Awards. One thing that always stays the same is the way she styles the sleeves: rolled up to the elbows.
With her signature styling trick, the Duchess keeps putting a twist on this classic wardrobe staple, whether she's keeping it loose and untucked on her 2018 Australian tour or she's showing us yet another way to tuck a shirt back at the 2014 Winter TCA press tour. Ahead, get inspiration from Meghan's myriad of white shirt styles, and start planning how you'll next wear yours.
