It was revealed today that Meghan Markle visited the newly opened second branch of the Luminary Bakery in London, an organisation which welcomes women from vulnerable circumstances (be it abuse, poverty, trafficking, marginalisation) and equips them with the job skills and confidence to succeed.
The Duchess has worked with them in the past and featured them as one of her forces for change in the September issue of Vogue, which she guest edited.
She chatted to women during her visit, and even participated in a baking masterclass. And it seems that without even realising it, she indirectly made an extra impact thanks to her choice of clothing.
Meghan wore a striped boyfriend shirt by With Nothing Underneath, a brand with a sustainable focus which specialises in 100% cotton shirts (which are meant to last a lifetime).
Having seen the actress wearing the shirt, it has now pledged to support the organisation with every sale of the shirt.

She moved to the UK permanently and has never looked back (though she does go back regularly to stock up on cheese and wine).
Although she's always loved fashion - she used to create scrapbooks of her favourite trends and looks, including Sienna Miller and Kate Moss' boho phase - her first job was at MoneySavingExpert.com, sourcing the best deals for everything from restaurants to designer sales.
However she quit after two years to follow her true passion, fashion journalism, and after many years of internships and freelance stints at magazines including Red, Cosmopolitan, Stylist and Good Housekeeping, landed her dream job as the Digital Fashion Editor at Marie Claire UK.
Her favourite part of the job is discovering new brands and meeting designers, and travelling the world to attend events and fashion shows. Seeing her first Chanel runway IRL at Paris Fashion Week was a true pinch-me moment.
