Meghan Markle nails 'rich mom' style in her Netflix show — shop her staples for less

Meghan Markle, Duchess of Sussex, is back on Netflix. Her second season of With Love, Meghan debuted on Netflix late last month, and while her interviews are fun and the food looks delicious, I can't stop looking at her outfits. It's no surprise that the California native nailed the state's effortlessly cool "rich mom" style.

While Meghan is actually a rich mom, you can dress like her by following a few simple tips (no kiddos required). For starters, stick to a neutral palette. Go ahead and wear white jeans with a white tee, and toss a cashmere coat over top for a trip to a local bookstore. Put on a tan knit shacket and jeans, and if you're feeling really wild, wrap a colorful silk scarf around your neck. The duchess makes every look feel elevated, no matter how simple, even when she's just in her kitchen concocting a green juice.

Most of her looks from the last eight episodes are a little pricey, if not already sold out. Several are from high-end designer brands like Carolina Herrera and Veronica Beard, but don't worry: You can copy the look for less with the five rich-mom closet staples below, including some you may already own.

1. Breezy button-down tops

Meghan knows the power (and the ease!) of a basic button-down top, but keeps hers casual by wearing oversized or relaxed fits. She wears a few throughout the series, both tucked and untucked, with jeans. She seems to especially gravitate toward blue-and-white-striped styles.

2. Cozy sweaters

You probably don't need me to tell you this, but rich moms like Meghan often opt for cashmere over cotton when it comes to sweaters. If you can swing it, the material is a good investment because with proper care, it will last for years. On the show, the duchess wears a baby blue turtleneck to make sourdough and a brown crewneck to pick apples, and she also throws on a black cardigan from time to time. That said, cashmere can be pricey, so I found some soft, affordable styles that may fool the eye.

3. Slim-fit straight-leg jeans

Meghan doesn't necessarily jump on trends like wide-leg jeans. While she has been spotted wearing wide-leg trousers at events, for the show, she stuck to AYR The Stir jeans, a slim straight-leg cut in an ultra dark wash and a white wash. She paired them with loafers, wore them on the beach barefoot, and even wore them with Crocs' brown Dylan Clogs in her backyard. (The clogs have sold out, but the platform style is still available if you want to wear them with your own jeans.)

4. Barn jacket

Barn jackets are making a comeback this season, as is "rich British countryside" style. They're warm, rugged water-resistant toppers suited for work inside stables or on a farm (hence the name). But now, they're fall's hottest style for doing just about anything outdoors.

Obviously, Meghan has dabbled in the English lifestyle, and she wears a Barbour jacket over a crewneck sweater while she visits a winery on her Netflix show. Barbour's waxed jackets (which can be re-waxed for prolonged durability) are pricey, but they're a solid investment piece that will last for years. That said, if you want the look for less, I've got you.

5. Gold watch

Meghan reportedly bought herself a two-tone $5,800 Cartier Tank Français Watch during her acting days. But more recently, she's been spotted with an all-gold version of the timepiece that experts say belonged to Princess Diana. (The latter would likely be a lot pricier than her original.) Both watches have a square face and a petite metal band that she often pairs with other bracelets, like her Cartier Love Bracelet. You can see her wearing the watch and other gold jewelry in almost every scene of her show.

If your budget is too tight for a fancy heirloom-quality watch, here a few alternatives that will give you a similar look without the sticker shock.
