It might be a stretch, but one could say that a white button-down shirt brought Meghan Markle to Prince Harry. Misha Nonoo, a designer known for her dress shirts and a close friend of Meghan’s, is rumored to be the matchmaker behind the couple. But whether or not Nonoo orchestrated the royal pairing, the Duchess of Sussex clearly has an affinity for the classic white button-down. She’s been known to dress one up with a floor-length skirt or simply pair one with jeans. It’s a crucial component of the Duchess’s expansive wardrobe.
It’s fair to say that Meghan has become something of a white button-down connoisseur, testing out the top in a range of situations, materials, and styles; however, she is not loyal to one specific button-down designer, and tries out a variety of options from many of her favorite brands. Here, we’ve compiled some of the Duchess’s all-time favorite white button-down shirts, so you can order yourself a royally-approved classic.
