Meghan Markle’s polo outfit proves she’s a true rule breaker
Yesterday was a big family outing for the royals as both Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton brought their children to cheer on their respective dads, Prince William and Prince Harry, as they played against each other a charity polo match.
The Duchess of Sussex proved yet again that she thinks outside the sartorial box by not only succumbing to this season’s biggest trend (linen) but by putting her own spin on it too.
You see the olive green linen dress by Lisa Marie Fernandez comes with a belt, however the royal made it look even cooler my removing it and wearing it oversizes, this making it look chicer and perfect for the hot weather.
Meanwhile, Kate was her usual ladylike self, opting for a printed tea dress by high street brand L.K.Bennett, which she teamed with her favourite Castaner wedges.
In other stylish news, baby Louis stole the show by literally stealing his mother’s designer sunglasses and waving at baby Archie, who was snuggling in his mother’s arms.

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.

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.
