Meghan Markle Wore 5 New Summer Trends in Just 72 Hours
It may only just feel like spring in the UK, but Meghan Markle’s summer wardrobe has been out in full force this week. On a trip to Nigeria as part of the Invictus Games Anniversary celebrations, Markle styled a wardrobe brimming with new-season summer trends, all whilst retaining her famously polished edge.
Catering to the 33ºC heat, she favoured flowing dresses and breathable fabrics throughout her weekend trip. Whilst the sweltering temperatures demanded lighter styling, this didn’t stop her from experimenting with some of the key trends that are set to take off this season—in fact, I’ve spotted Markle wearing five fresh summer trends over the past 72 hours, and I’m inspired to follow her elegant lead with my own warm-weather wardrobe. Read on to discover the five summer trends she’s backing right now.
5 SUMMER TRENDS MEGHAN MARKLE IS ALREADY WEARING
1. BRIGHT YELLOW
Style Notes: The yellow colour trend is taking off this season, and this particular sunshine shade is such a fun way to jump on board. Markle’s sweeping yellow dress draped comfortably down to the floor, and I’ll be coming back to this elegant silhouette during the summer months.

3. T-BAR SANDALS
Style Notes: T-bar shoes are set to make a major return this summer, and Markle’s elegant skinny style has just made its way to the top of my wish list. Style with a flowing dress like she did or wear with your favourite denim shorts throughout the height of summer for a French-inspired twist.

4. BANDEAU DRESSES
