When Meghan Markle<\/a> turned up at the Los Angeles<\/a> Dodgers game dressed in a Givenchy white shirt there was a sense of d\u00e9j\u00e0 vu, as this wasn\u2019t the first time an oversized blouse<\/a> had played a starring role in her wardrobe.<\/p>\n For her first public appearance with Prince Harry<\/a> in 2017, Meghan famously manifested her future by wearing a white shirt called the \u2018Husband\u2019 designed by her close friend Misha Nonoo<\/a>.<\/p>\n A simple, crisp white button-down, a little oversized, the sleeves rolled just so. It looked effortless, relaxed, the opposite of regal fuss. And yet, in its simplicity, it spoke volumes.<\/p>\n Whether carefully planned or entirely intuitive, Meghan\u2019s choice of outfit that day set the tone for what would become one of her defining fashion signatures, the oversized shirt.<\/p>\n \u2018The slouchy shirt has long been synonymous with Meghan\u2019s style, and she uses it as a date night uniform,\u2019 explained royal biographer and fashion commentator Jane Tippett.<\/p>\n \u2018It channels the vibes that she wants to call up, relaxed, untailored and unstuffy, communicating a sense of not being buttoned up.\u2019<\/p>\n Jane Tippett believes that in the world Meghan was entering of wardrobe diplomacy, it was quietly revolutionary.<\/p>\n Meghan sat court-side at a World Series Baseball game with Prince Harry opting for an effortlessly chic ensemble of a crisp white Givenchy shirt, previously worn at the Endeavour Fund Awards, Veronica Beard jeans and a baseball hat<\/p>\n<\/div>\n The duchess demonstrated the versatility of her fashion failsafe at the Endeavour Fund Awards in 2019. Tucking a cross over Givenchy button-down into a black maxi skirt, Meghan took classic work attire into glamorous evening wear territory<\/p>\n<\/div>\n When Meghan Markle made her first public appearance with Prince Harry at the Invictus Games in Toronto back in 2017 she paired her white button-down Micha Nonoo Husband shirt with a pair of ripped Mother Denim jeans<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u2018Instead of a prim dress or tailored blazer, she opted for something you might borrow from your boyfriend\u2019s wardrobe. It was relatable, modern, and subtly romantic, and immediately interlinked her with Harry.\u2019<\/p>\n \u2018There is always the ever-present handholding,\u2019 continues Tippett, \u2018so it fits in with the interlinked nature of their relationship.\u2019<\/p>\n Gone were the stiff, structured silhouettes of traditional royal dressing, here was a woman who had built a career on independence, choosing to show up as herself, unbuttoned in every sense.<\/p>\n From that moment onwards, the oversized shirt has been a thread running through Meghan\u2019s public life.<\/p>\n \u2018Again and again, she has returned to the same silhouette,\u2019 said Tippett. \u2018Slightly loose, nonchalantly chic and always evoking her husband which is at the core of her identity.\u2019<\/p>\n \u2018There is a universality of a white shirt that can move her through many events. It\u2019s a quintessentially American look, emphasising her life in the US and is authentically Meghan.\u2019<\/p>\n![\"The](\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2025\/10\/31\/13\/103480789-15245895-image-a-6_1761916696667.jpg\")
