You can learn a lot about style from Meghan Markle. The Duchess of Sussex has mastered the art of low-fuss fashion with an undeniably elegant feel. Every time she steps out, she looks polished but relaxed. Chic but carefree—especially when it comes to her public appearances and speaking engagements. On Wednesday, she attended the 2025 TIME100 Summit in New York City, rocking a very millennial-coded ensemble with a quiet luxury twist.
She wore head-to-toe Ralph Lauren for the occasion, opting for the label’s Russel Silk-Linen Twill Jacket and matching Greer Silk-Linen Twill Pleated Pant. Both the blazer and trousers—priced at $2,490 and $2,190 respectively—offered a loose but flattering fit. The pants were particularly baggy, but in a tailored, intentional way. She completed the look with a crisp white button-up shirt, a caramel-colored belt, and coordinating pointed-toe pumps. Her hair, seemingly freshly dyed a lighter brown, was styled in her signature loose curls.
What I love most about Meghan’s look is that it feels professional but not intimidating. It screams quiet luxury, but in an almost attainable way. I think, sometimes, there’s apprehension around pants—that they’re too stiff or too corporate—but throughout Meghan’s time in the limelight, she’s made a case for why pants, particularly wide-leg styles, work. As a wide-leg pants lover myself, I dream of outfits like Meghan’s because of the endless possibilities it offers. In addition to how she wore them on Wednesday, she could style the trousers with a simple white T-shirt and flat sandals, or wear the same button-up open over a black bikini top and raffia slides for a beach-ready vibe. I can also see these pairing perfectly with a chunky knit in the fall.
In conclusion: pants are the moment. I’ve rounded up some budget-friendly alternatives below:
