Meghan Markle proves this unexpected hue is the shade of the season - steal her style

Chic and elegant, earthy toffee tones are a Duchess of Sussex favorite


MARCH 29, 2020 6:48 AM EDT

Warm, toasty earth tones are making the transition from being a fall staple to being a fashion trend for spring and summer, and if there’s anyone who loves a good neutral it is  Meghan Markle . The Duchess of Sussex has shows the power of toffee, wearing a pleated pleated dress with an asymmetric hemline in this rich shade. Like any of the trends embraced by Prince Harry’s wife, toffee is a color to watch this season and if you want to emulate the look, here are some very stylish options.

A new basic

Inspired by the Duchess of Sussex’s style, we recommend a maxi shirt dress, like the Pleated Shirt Dress by Zara ($69.90), with its super trendy button front and pleats that accentuate the waist.

There is nothing like a one-piece to flaunt this trend. The X Revolve Morin Jumpsuit by House of Harlow 1960 has undeniable retro vibes and a bandeau top that you can make more modest by wearing a t-shirt or blouse underneath ( Revolve, $49).
